Affiliate Marketing Secrets

If a company advertises on a website, how does the profit counts?
Is because of the number of people that visited the site and therefore has seen the ad banner?
Or is because of the number of the clicks on the ad banner itself???
Thank you in advance!

I am planning to build a website for some time now, i have a few ideas in mind, but i would like to know which subject areas are more lucrative than the others what competition is there for the advertisers and what product and services are sold in that particular niche. as i would like to make a small part time income from the site.
Please help with a list of subjects, Thanks in advance.

Well, I’m new in internet marketing. I’m using plr articles but they are not cheap. Currently I’m looking for a plr article membership site which will enable me to download plr articles at a monthly fee. Please help.
P. S- I’m not looking for memberships that sends out random niche articles every month. I’m looking for sites where I can download whatever articles I want from their database. Thanks in advance

I already know this is not an easy task and I would drop the idea altogether, but I really love my dating site niche idea. The reason I want to start it is because I myself went looking for this particular niche and could not find anything out there. Even the few sites I found that somewhat serviced my niche were poorly made and had bad layouts; however, even they got members because there is nothing out there.
As for dating software, the prices are ridiculous! How is someone supposed to make any money at all without going broke first with these programs? I’m not saying I wouldn’t pay a one time, couple hundred dollar fee, but close to a thousand plus monthly payments over 40-50 dollars is crazy.
Despite knowing my way around creating websites, I have no programming experience to create something like this. I have looked at osDate but it seems most of the sites that use this script fall out. If someone can point me in a direction or at least give me options, I would be very grateful.
