What, if any, affiliate programs do you use on your community?

I pretty much stick to Amazon.com.

That's the part about being a young administrator. These things are generally for people 18 and up right? Very Happy

Generally, yes. But, there are legal ways of applying for those that are not. I'm not really well versed in that, though.

I'll have to take a look at it then. I imagine its best to have a decent traffic website first though, or does it matter? I would imagine you would want traffic, before you really put anything in. I'm not sure if it matters. Smile

Well, with affiliate programs, generally people need to buy something for you to make any money, so getting people to the site is definitely important.

As far as waiting to add things until after you have traffic, there are generally two trains of thought. The first one is that they don't make you much without much traffic, so wait until you have traffic and then add them. I used to think along those lines.

The second is that you should just add them when you start so that everyone is accustomed to them and they are not "surprised" when you add them later. This is now more where my thoughts are and what I'd generally recommend. Smile

Yeah, better to add them at the start when possible, IMO. People don't like change, and some react badly if more ads like this are added to a site over time.
