in my limited experience, i've found that affiliate marketing using banners on a site not directly related to the merchants prodoct, doesn't work at all.

The only merchant that initially appeared to work for me was a ,, direct competitor, but i quickly dispensed with their adverts after a protracted dry spell of clicks without conversions

Anyway, is the general experience that affiliate marketing is most successful with sites that have been built with an eye to marketing those products?
