I have been exploring Affiliate marketing for a while. I found thousands of affiliates willing to sell e-products, but really struggled to find any good established affiliate for normal products. Places like, Clickbank and CommissionJunction are very good but again all specialized for e-products.
Finding good affiliates is the key as I dn't want my products to be advertised on porn sites and such.

Hey,
Thanks for the info. This program is slightly expensive for me at the moment: start at $2495 plus monthly commission. But for anyone with serious e-commerce business this is very good software, as it gives you complete control over your affiliate program.

The best source so far I found for affiliate marketing is Azoogle Ads.  They have high payout and quality advertisers like Blockbuster, Gamefly, Vonage, etc. 

Check it out.

Is Affiliate Marketing as simple as everyone makes it sound? It seems like you need a great web page first, where lots of traffic is visiting your site, before you could see any residual income. Any thoughts?Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.

blog2hersh,
  Have you tried using AdBrite.  they definitely don't advertise your product to any porn site.  They mainly advertise in community websites like friendster.com, boing boing, linkedin, etc.

   I haven't started using it but seriously considering it.  You can also put your ad on a specific ad space in a specific website.
