Covering the economic and industrial might of Japan

Here are some common forms of advertisement I see on Japan-related sites:

http://jlist.com (goods from Japan. affiliate program)

http://meta4-group.com (personals/matchmaking through their WorldFriendsNetwork. they give you your own personals network for your site. Think J-site name + "friens." They are everywhere)

- Hotels & Travel services. There are a number of advertisers out there. http://Asiarooms.com is an example.

Japan-related ecommerce sites with affiliate programs. There are too many to list. One that comes to mind is
http://YesAsia.com

What others can you think of? Have you used any? What has been your experience with them?

I've tried PayPerPost and TextLinkAds. The first was terrible for Japan-related stuff, and the second wasn't much better. I made some money through both, but had to scrap them to abide by Google's new policies on "paid links".

My blog is still new, so I don't know if I can add anything of value here. The only thing that has made me any money (and not too much of it) is Google Adsense. I have jlist links up but I haven't made any sales.

Thanks for including the J-List affiliate system. I think it's working well for our affiliates. Certainly we get a ton of people defecting from other programs, both anime related and product related. Very transparent, and we host all our own graphics so there's not even any bandwidth cost to you.

You're welcome Peter
Keep up the good work!

@ Thomas,
In your case, maybe since your site is geared toward foreigners in Japan (more than people interested in Japan) there is not as much interest in products like Japanese snacks, etc. People living in Japan can pick those up at the convenience store.

I think those products sell well for sites with a lot of visitors located outside of Japan. But I'm no expert on that.
