You have to compile different types of linking methods to attract different groups of affiliates.
You can consider these widely used linking methods such as Banners, Articles, Email Ads, Signature Files, Guestbooks or Product Images.
Lastly, there are a number of websites having an emphasis on good quality contents based on a specific idea, concept or belief.
These kind of content sites having some meaningful connection with your target market can prove to be an ideal affiliate for your product.
