If they are looking for free stuff I doubt that would be good (going off the top of my head). For a more exact example, I have a fishing site that is on page 1 of google for "fishing tips" but people entering that search term are not spenders. People searching for "fishing charters" are. They way I determine that is simply looking at what the "click flippers" (ppc advertisers) are paying for search terms. Those guys do some heavy tracking and will quickly stop bidding on terms that do not convert. <em>David's last blog post..<a href='http://www.profitable-niche.com/2007/11/30/profitable-treadmill-niche-shows-great-potential/' rel="nofollow">Profitable Treadmill Niche Shows Great Potential</a></em> Traffic is always good but to determine if it would be good for monetizing the blog I would first ask “What search terms are people coming to your site using?”.

I saw a Gala casinos advert via tradedoubler that provides a lifetime commission but I want to steer away from hard gaming (I used to work in casinos) because it can cause serious family grief to those that succumb to the dark side of gambling. thanks for letting me know about your different affiliate companies, I'll check into them later this week..

The best one yet is I have several acoounts with betting sites through trade doubler and I get paid for the lifetime of the player not just a one off. I also email my list with any special offers up and coming like free magazine subscriptions etc. I just plod along and seem to be able to make money So Knowing you, I would imagin you could make it really work for the blog.

I will keep getting paid from my affiliate sale. Over half of my items have been for other purchases. With one of my recommended products the conversion is about 75%. I've written about it extensively and my readers have seen the results in action. I post pictures. My cooking website has done well with Affiliate marketing. A lot of people purchase have purchased high end cooking appliances. I don't do too much recommending there but I do have an appliance page so they can see what I use/recommend and of course it's linked to the appropriate amazon item. I also give out free recipes. There is a lot of information there. I think my readers trust me. I have a feeling when I start posting videos my my affiliate sales will increase. Pester away! I'm still a newbie with affiliate marketing but I'm learning that it is a lot like how I run my business.
