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.
