Kontera: Excellent in-text Ads:

This affiliate program is gaining a lot of popularity in publishers because of its in-text Ads(Ads within your content).You can get a good Click-Through-Rate(CTR) with Kontera.
When you apply for Kontera account, the Kontera team will go through your website.If found useful, they will approve your account.This procedure is similar to that of Google Adsense, but requires just 2-3 days.
Once you are account holder, you can create the Ad of your choice.

How will the Ad look?
The Ads are nothing but the underlining of your text.They will double underline those keywords for which the advertisers are ready to pay.When a visitor scrolls over to that double underlined word, a small window(like bubble) appears to the side of that word.This bubble contains the Ad.If the visitor clicks this Ad, you get paid on Pay-Per-Click(PPC) basis.

In the earlier stage, Kontera was approving only those websites which had very strong traffic of 5,00,000 page impressions per month.But now they are approving all the websites irrespective of the traffic they get.

Advantages:
1.You will start earning once the ad-matching is perfectly done
2.Extra revenue along with other ad networks

Disadvantages:
1.Very low CPC (cost per click)
2.Very low CTR

Online surveys: Get paid for your thoughts:

What are online surveys?
Online surveys are used as a technique for gathering information for companies. They generally are a set of questions which require a participant to answer and then the information is eventually given back to company for reporting purposes. The companies are willing to pay a fee to the participant for their opinions and time.These are somewhat like the form filling online.You have to fill up the forms which will include product reviews,suggestions for improvement etc.
e.g.If you are filling a survey about website review, they will provide you a link to that website.All you have to do is write 3-4 sentences about the website (mainly suggestions for its improvement) and they will pay you a few $ (anywhere from $2-$15).It takes 5-10 minutes maximum for each survey.

Why do the companies pay just for taking surveys?
Companies spend Billions of dollars a year trying to convince consumers that their products are the best and to buy their products and services. They achieve this by getting an understanding how people think and shop. Knowing this, companies are willing to pay you for your opinions. Overall your opinion could help the companies to upgrade their products and services.

Here are a few online survey websites which I found to be the best:
1.PlanetPulse
2.SurveySavvy.com
3.MySurvey.com
