Niche affiliates?

Would love some advice from some pros

[ari11210]

Hi everyone,
I run a site that is devoted <snip>. I have been using AdSense for about a year now and have slowly been increasing my revenue from that. Although my traffic isnt very high, it is a niche, so it is a pretty targeted audience. I am thinking about starting to do some affiliate marketing on my site using Commission Junction or something similar. As my site only gets about 30,000 page views a month, would it be worth my time to do something like CJ? Can anyone recommend another affiliate program like CJ or something targeted to <snip>? Any other advice?

Thanks for your help
Aaron

I've got a simple and easy way of determining which programs work with my sites...check out my best competitor's sites, see what they are selling and emulate them. Also, trial and error your way into finding good revenue streams.

Definitely. It's a good thing to see what "the other guys" are doing, and while you may not want to exactly copy them, you'll at least have an idea what you need to do, and what works. I.e. If they're more popular than you, and they've been at it for a while, there must be a reason they continue to use a particular affiliate, or a reason why they don't use a particular affiliate, etc.
