What are Your Money Making Affiliates?

I'm making a huge post of links that will help all users find affiliate programs that work for them. While I already have many of these linked, many is not most. So my question to you is what programs do you use, and where can I get them. This will then be compiled into a huge list of links to help all other bloggers that want to monetize their blog.

So comment it up and let me know!

Jackbook Shocks Us!

In a shocking move, Jackbook (dot) com makes an astonishing move to stop posting sponsored posts. Jackbook is a highly ranked blog in 5 digits with alexa. Jack made most of his money using these posts as well.

November 2007, the first month I try to make money from this site. I made $430 that month. And from $430, I made $260 from the sponsored reviews. That is 60% of a total revenue.
That is some big revenue that he is cutting out of! And why is Jacky making the move?
Somehow I just don’t feel right with my heart.
Now, Jacky is a mighty nice guy. I've talked to him over IM and he was really helpful. However, he is taking so much money out of his pocket so subscribers have a better experience on his site. He feels aweful selling products "no one might care about."

This is a bold move, and one you might be considering. While I, and other commenters believe his move was due to a drop in page ranking (paid posts are killers for google page ranking), Jack stands firm on his points. I can only commend you, and appreciate that you are one of my favorite bloggers.

Do you think ending paid posts is a good route to take, specifically for someone wanting to monetize their blog? Why or why not? Comment and subscribe!

Money and Blog to Blogosis!

Blogosis: The Process of a Blog

We've Moved! While the process is still not 100% complete, I will now be focusing on another blog. This one is just so much more beautiful. I will slowly be rewriting my posts, transferring them one at a time to this new WORDPRESS blog.

I can't believe how much better wordpress is. At first I saw it as an intimdating, you have to know web scripting or you will fail, program. But it is much easier than that. And the learning process has been fun.

So goodbye Money and Blog, and hello Blogosis.
