Affiliate Marketing Secrets

i have a youtube blaster pro account and am thinking to use it for earning money. what products should i sell through affiliate marketing from sites like comission junction, plimus (recommended), clickbank(recommended) ? they should be of good cost and should be something that one can’t risk buying. please help fast!

I have been an affiliate for a year but making very few sales. How can I make good commissions? Please help!

I just joined Clickbank as an affiliate, I don’t know much about it, except that you should post links and get people to buy…problem is that I don’t know where to post them! I don’t have a website or blog…can someone help me out? Thanks!xXx

im thinking of writing an ebook and selling it on clickbank to help with cash flow as im a student. Is it profitable though?any experiences? how much can you make realisticly a month? I was gonna sell it for $2 to hopefully increase sales and get exposure but no affiliates will want that so $15 with 50% commision. I will have a website and all.advice would be great

I have a 3-month old site (my first) with which I directly sell my own product (as a vendor) through Clickbank. However I have just seen that a search on Google for any of my keywords now only brings up a certain affiliates hoplink in place of my site. The meta description is mine and the SE results/rankings match those in my Google Webmaster Tools so it definitely should be my direct site link coming up and not an affiliate.
My official site is http://www.teachenglishabroadguide.com
The result that comes up is

A search for “teach english abroad guide” will show this on the first page.
On yahoo it looks fine.
Can anybody tell me if this is some dirty black hat trick by the affiliate and what I should do to get my link back (preferably without losing my rankings)?
I’d be very grateful for any help.

Every time I copy my affiliate link to my website, it doesn’t show up as a link. Instead it shows the link in black just like normal typing and you’re unable to click it. The link is supposed to be blue, underlined, and clickable. Can someone PLEASE help me.???
