Google, it would seem, planned a deliberate attack on websites featuring affiliate programs, and some think all eccommerce sites, to force more eccommerce to use Adwords and webmasters to use Adsense.
In many ways this turned out quite well. CJ's tracking is notorious, the big three affiliate networks are crawling with parasites designed to steal your sales. You cannot trust any of them at all. Adsense would seem the best plan unless you can find an indie program the thieves have never heard of, or a merchant at Shareasale who does not also have a CJ or Linkshare program.
You are in a nice position though. Good traffic and a monetizeable subject. Do cell phone covers still sell well? You might look into setting up a store on your domain and dispatching covers yourself.
