Just do a search for your favorite consumer product or brand name. The top 10 sites for your SERPs should mostly be affiliates.

thanks, I've found some sites and I already have some ideas in my head. :) which sites similar to CJ are worth signing up for (as a publisher)? I'm assuming they don't cost anything to sign up as a publisher?

few more CJ questions: since you have to sign up with a primary site, what happens if you don't place affiliate links on that particular site? what if you plan on setting up sites just to sell the products they list, is this okay?

How is non-profity successful? Do you mean just look like it is non-profitable? Like a geeky personal blog page with personal recomendations that know one knows is making the webmaster any money for? Except for that adsense in the corner of course...

And the best sites are those your competitors don't think make any money. :)

Nope - the best sites are the ones that make you lots of money, regardless of what your competitors think.

Hey we can argue about best sites all day, right? The best sites are the ones that leave people feeling good enough to want to come back and use it again and recommend to it their friends in the meantime. There is a powerful advantage in building a base of repeat customers which allows an affiliate site with a strong brand blow the socks off sites which get a one-time click-through and are forgotten.

but how exactly do you accomplish that? how do you build an affiliate site that's really going ot have people wanting to come back?

What makes you want to come back to a site? What is it that you like most about the sites you visit most often? Start with that.

Hey, I can see where some people may want to build a unique site and all that other stuff... But seriously, the best site for any Affiliate is the one that consistently brings in the most profit, day after day after day :-] Of course if the said site was partnering with a junk product, then maybe it isn't the best site... But that is different. All the Best, C.K.

Well said ronin | The best sites are the ones that leave people feeling good enough to want to come back and use it again and recommend to it their friends in the meantime |
| But little difficult task an affiliate site, may be depending on the product you choose to sell.
