Give some of the other affiliate networks (Commission Junction, ImpactRadius, ShareaSale, LinkShare, etc.) a try. You'll find better commissions through many merchants and often better deals.

If you need help ping me at keith [aaat] zorz [dooot] com - I've been doing affiliate marketing for years and would be happy to help.

Thanks, I'll definitely check those out. I've used Commission Junction before with the Groupon affiliate program and the terrible UI drove me away, but now that there's real traffic I guess it's worth giving it another shot.

The hardest part is finding affiliate programs that sell the things my mom actually uses in her posts. I don't think either of us would be willing to recommend products that she isn't using. Amazon is great for that since they sell pretty much everything that's ever been made.

Yeah, CJ's interface is rather terrible.

Actually, check out VigLink - they do link monetization and that might be a great alternative to try.
