The links below are to some of my favorite sites related to website monetization and making money online. As I add to this, I will be placing them in appropriate categories.

CPA Networks – Affiliate CPA networks are clearing houses that bring advertisers and publishers together. "CPA" stands for "cost per action" which means that affiliates get paid for the site visitor taking an action (usually filling out a form, but sometimes as little as submitting their email and/or zip code). Done right, this pays more than PPC/CPC (i.e., adsense) and may or may not bring you more income than traditional affiliate links, since all you can do is display a banner or text link, or send out an email provided by the advertiser, as opposed to standard affiliate marketing, where you can write product reviews, etc. On the other hand, some CPA payouts can be handsome, and it is often much easier to get a site visitor to fill out a short form asking for more information than to buy a product through your affiliate link. These are my favorite affiliate CPA networks.

Azoogle, is extremely popular, and among the oldest and largest of CPA Networks, and is very well regarded in the CPA community.

Comission Junction is among the best-known affiliate networks. They have CPA, CPL (cost per lead) and CPS (cost per sale) offers and an excellent online training library. Their offer database is huge.

CPA Empire is a smaller, but very well-regarded CPA Network. I get terrific help and support from my account rep here.

Modern Click is a relative newcomer, but can be less competitive, which may lead you to better results. Another great Keith Baxter product.

Primary Ads is another network that is very well though of among people who do CPA for a living. They have a great many email-only and zipcode-only offers, as well as traditional long-form offers.
