Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I used to use adsense untill I got banned for some reason. I need a similar affiliate program which pays on a CPC basis for my blog. Any ideas? I own a maltese political blog on www.alexcutajar.com

How can i set best high paying companies ads on my adsense ads running site? My site is on technology niche. i am reviving 0.15$ CPC. i think its too low. Can i set high companies ads for my website ?

From an advertiser /affiliate or publisher stand point..What is the best places with the most ‘best bang for the buck ‘ to submit your banners to for either CPC or CPM traffic?..Listed in the order of; the one with the most options for the expense?, to the one with the most potential/traffic for being a free submission?. Obliviously now, this question is directed at the everyday ‘non-business owner’ who isn’t looking at a website to promote his huge corporation to the homepage of a major website(such as Yahoo,etc) that is going to ask said owner for anyway near 2k to 15k or more a month to advertise on their site?. No,This is not that ballpark at all, or what this is about, this is about the regular everyday on-line advertiser looking for results for a website that will bring in well targeted/good niche traffic, based on this what are people’s personal experiences around this topic, or what do people personally recommend?

if you have a blog/website with some content
you can use google adwords keyword tool to find keywords with high CPC
this better than trying to find a niche which is good but not relavent to you

im making a blog. im new to blogging and confused. i am using the adowrds keyword tool to research my niche. i have a blog made with 6 pages of content. i picked out some of my keywords and plugged them into the keyword tool and found they have a nice cpc value, high search volume, and low competition. so now what do i do now? i see infot hat says you have to pay adwords but is that only if you are the compnay selling the products? i am just looking to advertise for others, not myself. i do not offer and product or service so i would not be paying right?
i see some sites where you set a price per click? what is that for? is that the price you will be paid or the price others will be paid? im so lost.
what do i do with the adwords code? is that for use when i type a sentence and insert the code for a link reference from a word in the sentence so its highlighted someway and when clicked the user will be directed to whatever site is advertising? ?
