Till so far, I have found Adsense the best program and have been earning with it since 1 year. Although it is not very remarkable earning but I hope to earn a lot in future. My blogs are taking their time to be my earning arsenal so I am not disappointed with my progress so far.

I think Amazon Associates is the best of all the affiliate programs. I know the holiday sales are a great hit, but the truth is, you can always make good money from the program throughout the year.

I’ve tried a lot of these programs and indeed, GA is still the top of the list.

Google Adsense is still the best if you are publishing content. I’ve just signed up for Pepperjam because they have some offers in my nich I would like to expose. Will see how that goes.

Most of the programs works well with US traffic only.

Thanks, Dave,

As a teacher, this is super “added value” for my students. Thanks for the honesty. I hope you get “paid” for your freely offered education.

How could you miss Ebay? Ebay offers one of the best affiliate programs on the internet. Ebay has over 26,000 product categories. When a customer is sent to Ebay through your affiliate tracking link, their buying choices are almost limitless!

I am making my vote for NeverBlue Ads

I have tested a lot of programs and can say the only one here I don’t recommend is Adsense. Google is too flaky to be trusted with my money. As a former adwords buyer and an adsense user there is a lot of discrepancy between what they say and what they do. They are also too quick to cancel accounts for reasons they won’t discuss and there is no recourse, even filing a court case against google is technically a violation of your TOS.

The one company I would add to to the list is Monetize This I have never once had a problem with them, they pay ontime and went to bat for me when a company called into question some of the leads my sites generated.

I’m not sure why you don’t have Shareasale on this list but they’re one of the best for me.

What is so special about Pepperjam? I see a lot of people talk about it like it’s the best? Is it better than CJ?

By: Wendy

Pepperjam is the best for good payouts and they have the best offers.

I have had limited experience with pepperjam. I’d still prefer CJ over them.As for adsense,they are definitely one of the best because earning with adsense doesn’t involve any additional work on the part of the publisher.

Well If you are a starter in any field Google adsense is the best way to monetize you site with well I was banned from it although, even when I was not involved in the internet program, some unconscious silly mistakes. Well nice post will try some programs in the near future,

What about Linkshare?

I would have to agree with a few of the comments with Linkshare adsense and NeverBlue.

Well I have learn a big lesson with cookie based programs. they are a waste of time.

1st. any program that will pay you when a person clicks on an ad it sets a cookie on the persons computer. If that person comes back within 30-120days a purchases somthing, you get credit for the lead or commsion of the sale.
ABSOULUTE LIE: Every day people have cookie removers and history clean ups, and most toolbars, browers, and spyware addons just block or remove those so called COOKIE clicks.

2nd, Well what about the redirect clicks with the publishers account attached.
Same thing, Just like an iframe or script which can be placed on many pages. Well I did my own script to monitor so called click through and impressions. the results were that they out right denied every click and impression ratio.
Example: my count over 12,000 impressions over 108 click throughs on said such scripts. yet they claimed 3 clicks, no sale. Take that above mentioned (I would love to list them here) waste of time and effort.
I should have actually turn it over to a legal matter for fraud and theft of services rendered putting the ads up and wasting bandwith.

HOPEFUL WISHING HERE: here is the best program someone pays you space to post thier ads for a time frame or impressions. But that is very rare to come by. So that leaves just clicks as they happan with no cookie blocking which leave Google adsense as thee option to go with.

PRO So far google atleast account for 97% of my actual page impression and click count script. So I give them the benefit of doubt due to server downtime or maintenance.

CON the only thing with adsense is they automatically match products for your keywords and content. that can be a big problem if you are trying to sell home loans or car insurance or sporting books, either site will get ditect ads, gieco, or buy socks at amazon.

anyway good luck any of you putting effort into it. Just stick with the per impression or per click, NOT SALES LEADS or COMMISSION in sales when they buy something later in a few weeks.

If your site has traffic and an audeince they want, advertisers will contact you for some web real estate.

I am completely and utterly disgusted with Amazon. Not only are certain states not eligible, you have to apparently be willing to kiss butt as well. I DO NOT recommend anyone joining Amazon for anything much less purchasing things from them. For all those here that trust Amazon, it’s only a matter of time before you too will be posting negative things about them and your experiences as well. Change now while you still have some dignity!!!

I think neverblue is a good one. Adsense is a highest source of income for me and it will only cost you an effort.
