Great World Media
We have made this the default page as it is the most popular page on the GreatWorldMedia site, to visit the 'home' page please click here.
Why are we so keen for you to succeed? Simple, because when you succeed WE succeed. Right from the very start GreatWorldMedia can help you with the steps to establish your website:
1) We recommend DirectNIC for domain registration, this costs $15/yr but we prefer this over many of the cheaper services.
2) Web Design - Before you can establish your online presence you need a website. This could be something simple that you've knocked up on your home PC using a very basic program. Alternatively you may wish to have somebody else design it. At www.GreatWorldMedia.com we have web designers who can build and maintain your website from just $15 per hour. If you need any fancy 'bells and whistles' such as Shopping Carts, Custom Programs in PHP, Perl, CGI, ASP etc then our programming is only $25 per hour (The reason this is more expensive is that our brains have to work harder for this, as a result to maintain our brains we need to consume large quantities of Cheesy Puffs and Diet Coke). Please Email your project specifications (or vague ideas) to us at design@greatworldmedia.com
3a) Web Hosting - Now that you have a website, you need somewhere to put it. That's where we come in again, http://www.YourLastHost.com is the solution for all your hosting needs. Whether you need a website with 5MB of space with no features or ten of the latest dedicated servers packed with features, functions and facilities we can offer them at a price that's hard to beat. Your Email us for a custom quote. We can also offer dedicated fast internet connections, collocation and dedicated servers at wholesale prices.
3b) Email Lists - The very best way to get your visitors back time after time is to have an area of your website where they can register for an email list. This could be daily, weekly, monthly or at any random interval you wish. If you expect the list to be small then this can usually be done free. If you are looking to have a big list with many thousands of subscribers then we offer reliable hosting at rates that cannot be beaten. Please Ask for details.
4) Promote Your Site - What's the use of having a website if nobody knows about it and comes to see it? We are in the business of making people laugh (On our annual day off) and since we're so good at that we've build up a fair old bit of traffic on our websites, we give you the opportunity to advertise your site to Millions of Monthly visitors via Banner Impressions or you can send your message straight to Hundreds Of Thousands of our opt-in email subscribers for rates of just $0.0005 per person, that's 1000 possible visitors for just $0.50, imagine if just 1% of them buy a product where you earn $5 that's $50 earned for $0.50 spent. Order 1 million impressions, and you've earned $50,000 for spending $500 on advertising. Of course, we can't promise you these kind of results. It's all to do with what you have to offer the individual. But, by this stage, you should know what you have to offer... If you don't, then step 5 is for you.
5) Affiliate Programs - Now that you have the counter spinning around on your website you want to convert that to cash. If you can sell advertising that's fine and well. But not many advertisers deal with individual sites anymore or they don't wish to risk investment without guaranteed results. This is why the affiliate program was born. Affiliate Programs are mostly paid on performance. If you send someone to an online store and they make a purchase then the store has earned money so they can afford to send you a percentage of that revenue for referring that customer. Of course, be warned, not ever affiliate program will work for you. Webmasters have sent countless hours going through affiliate programs finding the ones that work and putting a line through the ones that don't. We have complied a list of affiliate programs to work with and those to avoid. This list is constantly updated. If you know of an affiliate program that deserves a place then Email us and let us know.

Wow! The internet just came back to life... I'd almost forgotten what the term CPM advertising meant it'd been so long. These guys are brilliant and will pay you for all your pop-under, banner and floating traffic... EXCELLENT CPMs and reliable payment. If you have a website... if you have traffic... you WILL make money. They are very selective on with regards to publishers so don't be too disappointed if you aren't accepted. | 10/10 |
| PrimaryAds | A new affiliate network with a lot of good offers many of which convert very well. If you are an ezine publisher or a webmaster I would recommend this program whatever your audience. They pay on time too which is a good thing for any new program as most of us have been stung in the past. This is a better affiliate network than any of the ones lower in this list. | 10/10 |
| LynxTrack | An even newer network with generous payouts on many existing offers when compared to other networks... for example on one offer they pay $1.25 where adreporting pays $0.75. They also have quite a few 'exclusive' offers so this program is certainly worth being part of. | 10/10 |

This is an essential program if you have any kind of adult site. This can include adult jokes, cartoons or anything where you won't offend your audience as I think that's very important. One thing you have to remember is that this is a bigger industry than a lot of people realise. 'Marital Aids' are now owned by 70% of people which is a huge amount. SexToySex have an absolutely massive range of products in many different categories and they pay a generous commission. It only gets an '8' because you can't advertise it just anywhere... but if this was a list of affiliate programs for adult sites it'd get a '10'. If you think you can advertise it then don't miss out. | 9/10 |
| Net Detective | Harris Digital have a range of products, Net Detective is the most successful for me but they have products for researching Genealogy, Cleaning Credit, Boosting Internet Connection etc. They even have a program called National Alert Register that tells people if they have a sex offender living in their neighbourhood which also seems to be popular. I would recommend signing up to this program and running it from time to time as it's a worthy addition to the programs above. | 8/10 |
| AZoogleAds | Very good for affiliate revenue, mainly email advertising but also some banner ads. They always have some good programs. Useful as a back-up for other networks as sometimes they have unique offers or high converting offers. | 8/10 |
| Gagsplus | Definitely a good program for owners of joke type sites or entertainment site although it really does work for any type of site as most people like buying gags and practical jokes. They sell old favourites as well as brilliant new products. | 7/10 |
| Internet Erasor |
Lots of people
are browsing websites and downloading things that
let's say 'they shouldn't', this can result in
being sacked, being divorced, being publicly
humiliated and even imprisonment. Fortunately they
know they need to protect themselves, and this
sweet little tool lets them do that. What's more
is as an affiliate you earn $45 anytime one of
these |

To be honest this would be higher if they had a more generous 2nd tier program. Another thing which makes it this low is the fact that they have thousands of vendors and you have to find the good programs from the bad. If you need some advice on some good programs (or if you can recommend any to me) then email phil@yourlasthost.com. If you are thinking of starting your own affiliate program or wish to accept credit cards then they make it very easy to do so and I would highly recommend them for you if you have something to sell like software or an ebook for example. | 6/10 |
| HerbalSmokes | These have become very popular recently, they sell all manner of products related to smoking as well as lots of legal herbal highs... you have to visit the site to see just want a fantastic range they have. They also have a multi-tiered program and I would recommend this to anyone who doesn't feel uncomfortable encouraging smoking... having said that they do have products for 'quitting smoking' too. Definitely worth checking out. Your success will depend on your audience. | 6/10 |
| Ad Reporting | This network is definitely worth being part of, in the past they have done very well for us although they are slightly slower right now, it's a case of looking out for the occasional offer that does well... so keep your eyes out. Useful as a back-up for other networks. | 5/10 |
| Adhearus | This is a CPC network with lots of different banner ad formats, ideal for using as a default for Fastclick or as a stand-alone network if you can't get in. You can also select to run General Ads, Ads up to PG or ads that are potentially adult in nature. | 5/10 |
| USAPrescriptions | Earn money selling prescriptions on line, this one's a nice little earner... especially if you have an audience of people who are likely to be ordering medication... no need for a doctors consultation either... weight loss, pain control, viagra etc. This is another one where similar programs have been advertised to death by spammers. When sales are made the commissions are good however and you can get quite a lot of repeat business. Certainly worth running. The only bad point is that spammers have saturated the market advertising drugs so sales are lower now which is why they only get '5'. | 4/10 |

Commission Junction, one of the best known and biggest affiliate brokers on the internet... but I don't really like them. They have 1000s of programs to choose from and you get one check... which makes it far better than BeFree or Linkshare. Sorting out the good merchants from the bad can be painstaking though. | 4/10 |
| Herbal Sensations | Sells a variety of products, definitely worth the ad exposure, a variety of herbal products such as Weight Loss, Herbal Viagra (Male and Female) as well as anti-aging formulas etc. Small company owned by some very honest people who will help you earn some of the highest payouts on the net. Similar products are advertised to death by spammers which has damaged this program. If you are going to advertise products like these then do it with these guys... again, worth a shot! | 3/10 |

Appears to be a good program with good referral revenue on several levels. I've tried the product and it also works well, although it appears to be quite difficult to convert. I've not had brilliant results with it but others have done well with it. Try it and see how you do but if you don't do well don't waste resources advertising it. Let me know how you get on. | 2/10 |
| TafMaster | Not an affiliate program as such but it's an essential tool to help you build traffic, build your lists and it does actually earn you money as well because they pay you for everyone who refers visitors to your site. If you want to grow your site and income then this is a must. | NA |
| FunPageExchange | Not an affiliate program but deserves a mention, if you have a website with joke pages, cartoon pages or especially fun pages as this is for you as you can turn traffic into more traffic using other peoples content. | NA |
