I was reading a post in a forum discussing about how many products you will be promoting in an affiliate site. In fact, I think it really depends.
It is totally alright for you to promote only one products in a site. However, you have to make sure that all the contents will be related to this products. Besides, you should also make sure that people will not feel confused when they compare your site with the official site.
If your affilaite site is niche specific, you may consider promoting 4 to 5 products in a site. Of course these products have to be similar. For example, you can promote 4 to 5 different kinds of weight loss pills in a weight loss site. This will be a good idea if you try to review and compare the products in your site.
Of course you can also consider promoting a lot of products in a site. Yet it will still be a good idea to promote products in the same niche. In this case, you may need to create your affiliate site such that it looks like an online shop!
My suggestion is that, you can choose the number of products you are going to sell. However, you will also need to consider how you create the affiliate site!

You may spend a lot of time in order to optimize your site for your search engine. In fact, you cannot really control the ranking of your site.
You are trying to optimize your site because you would like to make more money. It is very true that you will have a chance to make more money if you can get more traffic.
However, you should focus on the conversion rate. You may need to test how you should design the layout of your affiliate site. If you can increase the conversion rate by tweaking the design of the site, you will be able to make more money instantly.
As a result, before you spend your money and effort on the SEO of your site, be sure to test how you can increase the conversion rate of it.
In fact, I am also tweaking one of my affiliate site which promotes weight loss products. After I have made the changes. The number of unique clicks to the merchant site has increased a bit. So, I will continue test it until I can increase the conversion rate of it!

Learn a lesson
I am currently promoting LoveCentria from MoreNiche. In fact, it is a sex guide. There are not many affiliate programs in this niche.
As a matter of fact, I am promoting it along with some other sites which promote some penis extenders.
Today, I found that LoveCentria is not in the member area of MoreNiche. I have asked in the forum and the gentleman from MN told me that becuase there is not much such from the product manager. MN will advise me to focus on other products.
It is important that you do not put all the eggs in one basket. If all my sites are promoting one single product. I will lose all my affiliate income when something happens to the merchant or affiliate program. So, be sure to diversify your effort and try to promote products in a few different niches!

Wedding Affiliate Programs
I myself have some wedding sites. Of course I am already making some money with the PPC network. However, selling affiliate products will certainly help to make more money online.
As a result, I tried to search for some wedding related affiliate programs.
What I found is that there are not many wedding related affiliate programs in places such as Commission Junction. Yes there are a few wedding ebook you may promote on ClickBank but it will not suit since I want to sell tangible products.
There are individual online shops which are running their own affiliate programs but I want to stick to some big sites. And ShareASale is what I eventually joined. There are quite a number of merchants which are selling wedding related products or services.
If you are also working in the wedding niche, be sure to check ShareASale!

Landing Page - Do you need it?
A lot of affiliate marketers make use of landing pages to help to promote the products. A landing page is a web page you will use to presell the products you are going to promote.
In fact you may not really need a lading pages if you are managed to promote your affiliate links directly. However, if you are trying to promote your affiliate links directly on PPC system like the AdWords, the system many eventually filter out your links. In this case you will need a landing page since by doing that you link will not be filter out.
Besides, if you are going to do article marketing, some directories such as ezinarticles.com do not allow affiliate links and also in this case you will need to create a content page.

Affiliate Programs - A Site You Must Visit
I came across an interesting website on affiliate marketing last week. In fact it is a blog and the webmaster is called Paul. From the information of the blog, he can really make quite a large amount of money from affiliate marketing. He is really a super affiliate.
From his blog, he shares his experiences on affiliate marketing. It covers most of the topics you will need to know about affiliate programs. From finding a niche, choosing keyword to designing the landing page. Of course you should not expect he will tell you all the technique and secrets of his success in affiliate marketing. But it is still good to learn something from him.
His website is http://uberaffiliate.com/ and you should visit this site when you have time.
