Make Big Money With Affiliate Program 
Affiliate networks list
One way to find good ideas for niche web sites is by joining small affiliate networks and hunting for niches which don't
have many competitors. Affiliate networks are free to join. They can be hard to find. They sometimes call themselves names like
"marketing solutions provider", "pay-for-performance network", "cost-per-action advertising network", or even "performance-based online
marketing services company".
Affiliate networks provide pay-per-lead (PPL), pay-per-sale (PPS), pay-per-action (PPA) – sometimes called cost per action (CPA) – and
pay-per-click (PPC) offers from merchants that you promote on your web site or in your newsletter.

site must receive a certain number of visitors. Some let you see a directory of the merchants in the network before you join. Others show you their list of offers only after you join.
The big 4 affiliate networks
Commission Junction
Probably the most popular affiliate network, Commission Junction also has
its share of critics. Finding and joining an appropriate affiliate program
is easy. CJ also makes things easy for affiliates by consolidating all
payouts into one check. It displays EPC (which to CJ rather oddly means
"earnings per 100 clicks", not earnings per click). CJ is owned by
ValueClick,
which merged with Be Free.
LinkShare
LinkShare has more than 600 merchants in its affiliate network. Choose
from categories such as books, music, flowers, fashion, computers, etc.
You'll find some big name companies here, including Dell, Nordstrom,
Target, Disney and American Express.
ClickBank
Offers a huge array of downloadable products, mainly ebooks. Because it is
cheap and easy for merchants to join, the quality of the products provided
varies enormously, from very good to downright awful. It's a popular place
to search for overlooked niches.
Performics
Highly professional site with some well known brands. Performics' clients
include: America Online, Blair Corp., Bose, CompUSA, Eddie Bauer, HP
Shopping, Kohl's, L.L.Bean, PC Connection, RedEnvelope, Verizon Wireless,
and more than 200 others. Performics is owned by DoubleClick.
