Linkshare is one of the fastest growing affiliate programs on the internet.  They have a lot of big name companies that participate with them, and they seem to be the provider of choice if a company leaves one of the other affiliate programs. When I first signed up with them they didn't have a lot of advertisers. Probably the biggest name they had initially was Skymall, which are the people that have the magazines on airlines with all the cool stuff. Now they boast companies such as Barnes & Noble, Microsoft Store, Buy.com and Fiji Water.

With most of the advertisers you have the option of selecting either links or products.  When you select links, if you end up having multiple websites approved later on you'll want to make sure you select the right...
