With Google Adsense, all you need is a website or blog to sign up for the program. Then you can begin placing contextual ads on your blog or website. These ads are ads that will be relevant to the content on your website.

Amazon devised the first popular affiliate programme and today it has the largest number of subscribers – over 900,000 of them.

Most webmasters that are affiliates of Amazon have indicated that their return on ads produced by Amazon have been disappointing. Amazon pays commission based on the percentage of a sale that is completed by a user who goes through the link on the webmaster’s site. It is not like the popular pay per click method, now made so popular by Google’s Adsense, which pays as soon as an ad, usually a text link, is clicked.

The good thing about the Amazon programme is that when a visitor clicks on one of those ads, the system records the IP address of the visitor, so even if they come back to purchase the product sometime in the future and not straight away, you will still be credited with the sale and thus earn your commission.
