Are U Screwed By Affiliate Programs?
I’ve been investigating and trying out hundreds of affiliate and advertising programs over the course of the last few years in hopes of earning a living from my online efforts. Many programs have let me down but I thought it time I list those who actually earn money for me. I wish I could tell you publicly which companies to avoid but those companies come armed with lots of strong-arm men known as lawyers and I have only myself so I’ll stick with listing those who actually pay their bills.

i think u may wrong about google
blogads is by invite only now. they looked like a nice advertiser.
once you make the big $$$ with google they reject your payment.
i dont know which advertiser to go with now.
Blogitive (another Payperpost like company) also pays. I don't write a whole boatload of ads for either considering the amount I post, but they pay every Monday (via paypal) for the posts that were approved in the week prior.
Richard,
Thanks, I've never run any ads for Blogitive hence they're not on either of my lists.
I definitely agree with Amazon, BlogAds, and Brainiads (I use all three and have been very happy with all). Google Adsense (and related affiliate programs) work well if your site is in a profitable niche. I know that's not music...
I think google adsense is good and works. I use it.
Anonymouse,
It makes sense that adwords might work well for you as you're in a googlecentric business but for 99% of the bloggers out there adwords are a waste of time.
And none of that changes the fact that Google still refuses to pay me the money they owe me, hence Google will not be recommended by me.
