Yeah, most successful affiliate marketers seem to do it as their main thing--- they build entire sites with the sole purpose of pulling in visitors who'll click through and buy something via the affiliate link. It seems much more difficult to use them as a way to make money from a normal site, although I've had modest success with relevant Amazon links (Amazon is nice because you get commission if someone clicks through and buys anything within 24 hours, not necessarily the product you linked).
