Companies like Amazon.com offer its associates a variety of choice when it comes to products to advertise. The key is in making the ads look as complementary to your web content as possible.
Choose products that you personally trust
There are thousands of products to choose from as an affiliate marketing associate. Now, if you're a big fan of a well known brand of shoes, and most of your blog reviews are about this brand, it will be extremely beneficial on your part to include their ad in your website. Why? One way or another, your articles will be leading to a particular brand's standards. If you're writing about rubber shoes in particular, most likely, your target audience is also interested in sporty footwear. They're least likely to click on a leather shoes ad, which means less income on your part.
Look at the price range of the products you're advertising
Depending on your target audience, the products that you're advertising should match the purchasing power of your readers. If you're catering to middle class readers, your products should cost between $10 and $500. Any more than that and you're just adding stagnant clutter to your website.
Keep your content timeless
It's tedious to write website content that's bound to be obsolete after a week. If you're not likely to update your blog everyday, and you still wish to make money out of the current blog content you've written months ago, you should keep your topics timeless. How-to articles are big on the net today, because they don't necessarily depend on marketing trends, they're practical, and they're among the most searched for topics online.
