So, you have a brilliant website or an active blog—maybe both. Time to put them to work for you, make a few bucks with affiliate programs (also known as partnership programs). It's easy, it's fun, and it's profitable.

At Choice Affiliates you'll find exactly that, choice affiliates - programs that I've had positive experiences with so I can vouch for their trust-worthiness and up-front business practices. Affiliates will be added or deleted, depending on the quaility of the programs so check back often for the best choice in affiliate programs.

Keep in mind when choosing affiliate programs it's important to think broadly about your visitors, For example, if you have an erotic fiction site, your visitors will appreciate links to Amazon for book purchases, but will also enjoy links to adult movie sites, adult cartoon sites, a sex toy shop. With that in mind, I'm starting off on this page with Affiliate Networks, the mega players in affiliate programs.

Amazon Associates
Amazon, the giant online retail shop, is an excellent place to start. Amazon Associates is one of the first online affiliate marketing programs, launched in 1996.  Websites and bloggers can link to any of the products from Amazon. Amazon affiliates earn referral fees that range from 4 to 7 percent of the purchase price. There's thousands of products, including adult items: erotic books, adult movies, and sex toys. The program is free to join (as are all affiliate programs). The Amazon Associates center site is user-friendly, the support team responsive. There's a wide range of promotional tools, including widgets, search boxes, banners, and link options.

starHighly recommended for webmasters interested in promoting a variety of products, both mainstream and adult.

PimpRoll
PimpRoll is a mega affiliate program with more than 300 hardcore sites (and I do mean hardcore) spread over 42 categories, and more added on a regular bases. Affiliates payout options range from trials to full memberships, with or without pop-up consoles, and more. Banners choices are mind-boggling. Although there are options galore, the webmaster control center is well organized and user-friendly, as is the link code generator and stats info, and the support team is responsive. The per sign-up pays on a sliding scale (the more memberships you sell, the higher the payout) of $30 to $50, and revenue share is 60% on initial sale + recurring. That's the highest revenue share payout in the industry.

starPimpRoll is a good choice for adult webmasters who want an affiliate program with a lot of hardcore variety under one roof; they even have a Pleasure Dome site for couples—you name it, PimpRoll has it.
