A way around this problem is to take affiliate links to affiliate programs that you promote off your home page. Put them on your subsidiary pages instead.

This way a visitor has to click through a few pages on your site to get to affiliate link. And while they are doing that they are getting to know you a bit better.

They might find out that you offer a newsletter at your site or that you have some great articles that you or others have written. They like what they see.

And they are more likely to return again at a later date. You see they got to learn a bit more about you and your web site.

They still end up getting to affiliate link that they wanted. It just took them a bit more time. And it meant that you left some sort of positive impression on your visitor.

There are so many web sites out there and so many people that are promoting affiliate links. The one opportunity you have is to develop a relationship with your visitor. By moving your links to subsidiary pages you might have a better chance of doing this.

Because they are giving so much away to their affiliates with high commissions it shows they are supremely confident in worth of their product or service and its ability to sell itself. Their product or service is that good.

The affiliates are doing all pre-selling, all hard work, getting eyeballs at their web sites. You want to get paid for it. Do not accept 10% commission rates. Set yourself a standard of nothing less than 20% and make sure that 20% is more than just a couple of dollars.

It is with big-percentage payers where you can make some decent commissions. The 40%-plus hitters. These BIG affiliate program commissions are ones that will see your bank balance explode each and every month.
