really interstin posts. i'm going to build a affiliate marketing module for our couple of websites that go along with our shopping carts. i'm really dying to get involved with a ppc or ppa program. i have a friend running a brokage of banner adds and she does really well with it. these tracking systems aren' that hard to build and have already been built. all these generalities posted about making moeny through affilate marketing seems frustrating. i've owned a service business installing and fixing stuff for homeowners for 10 years and now that the market is falling out i'm looking to get into something else! affiliate marketing or bust!

i'm really curious to do this research myself. alot of people have this favoritizm about adsense and adwords . and other would rather use banner ads . and the reality of it is there are to many variables to even begin to realize what might be right for a particular site/blog/ecom site. ad sense probably does well on some sites but not as good as banners on others. what those are for either of them someone has to know. i've been looking at the major players online and just taking a look at wht they use. obviously i'm noticing alot of them do use adsense and sometimes a combo of banners as well. but i can tell you one thing the person that made all the money in the gold rush was the guy selling the shovels!
