The first thing for you to consider is the market you're in. When you go to an affiliate program to join, you will be advertising other's businesses on your site. So, in order for you to make the most money off each advertisement, you need to pick the companies most suitable for the traffic on your site. The visitors to your site must be interested in what you are advertising or they will not click the link. Remember that the affiliate programs work on a pay-for-performance basis, so the more traffic you can direct through those links, the more money you make.
Think about how you could reorganize the space on the various pages of your website. This is going to be very important if you wish to place banner ads on your site. Also, I would highly recommend that you avoid pop-up ads or other intrusive methods. These are often more of an annoyance to visitors and may even drive them away. I personally avoid many sites precisely for this reason. But, at any rate, think about how you could make better use of the space on your site to place highly visible ads for your customers to see.
Know the affiliate program's policies. You will want to know what type of pay plan the program uses, and what their minimum payout is. Also, check out their reputation. Many of them are great, but not all. Such considerations as their performance in distributing commissions to affiliates should be of great concern to you. The last thing you want is for someone to mishandle your money.
