Ok, so I've been reading everything I can for a few weeks now. I'm looking to take the plunge and I was gonna sign up for an affiliate network before I made a site so that I could research what kind of affiliate offers exist and base the subject/content/theme of my site partially on that. However, when I go to sign up, it wants urls for sites I have created already. Did I just go to the wrong affiliate network, i.e. not a particularly newb friendly one? Do I just need to make a site and hope there are fitting offers? Should I just make a site for whatever and do AdSense PPC/PPM ads at first or something? Have I completely missed something?
I thought I had read most of the newb guides and everything was always just kind of like "now pick an affiliate offer" and never went in to how you qualify to sign up for affiliate programs to begin with. I looked at the application forms on Azoogle and Commision Junction and it was an identical issue both places so I'm assuming its a general thing that I have wrong, not something specific to those networks.
Any help or advice is appreciated, even that which is delivered scathingly for being such a newb.
