Best affiliate programs

What is the best affiliate program?

[Jajdax]

I must admit i am a little confused from this area of forum.
Some people proclame they make USd2000 from 1000 visits others speak about USD1 from same traffic.

I am sure success depends on the skill how you are able to combine:

Affiliate program + site content + targeted traffic

I still have a question:

what is your best affiliate program you can recommend to others?

I think it may really depend on niche and traffic.

How much traffic do you have?

[davewray]

Exactly, it is niche dependent on what profits you can expect to attain. For example, you could try selling marbles for a 1% cut. Well, you'd have to sell a heck of a lot of marbles to make good money. On the other hand, finance products pay well and you'd need less traffic to realize a greater profit. Read this forum inside and out and you'll be surprised what you can learn :)

Sorry for the silly question but what do you mean by Finance products? Autoloans? Credit Cards?

[davewray]

Yes, that's what I mean by finance products.

So far the best paying AM program, IMHO, is Direct TV's - $110 per sale....
