Yesterday I read the Interview with Jim Kukral about BlogKits by Darren Rowse on ProBlogger. It seems to be a pretty decent possibility for setting up some affiliate programs on smaller Blogs. (And you can’t get much smaller than this.) I would suggest reading it if you are considering trying BlogKits Performance Marketing as a potential source of income.
After reading the interview, I still had some questions that I thought were pertinent to making a decision. So, I went to BlogKits Blog and asked Jim. He did respond pretty quickly with good honest answers. I hope he doesn’t mind but I would like to borrow his response so you can see the questions and answers.
Here it is
Hey Jim, This sounds like a really good program. I saw your interview with Darren, so thought I would stop by. I have a couple of questions.
1. How do you pay? Check in USD, Paypal?
Answer: Check in USD. However, we are about to release a new and exciting method of payment that is way better, and easier for the blogger. Stay tuned. It’ll be fun too!2. Is the program set up to put Ads on feeds?
Answer: Not at the moment. I think Feedburner is the only company that can do that? Calling Brent Hill?3. Can we choose which Advertisers we would like to include?
Answer: Yes, in the advanced settings you can select an advertiser by themselves if you wish. Go for it! It’s easy.4. Do you have an affiliate program of your own for BK, for Bloggers to sell your service?
Answer: Right now we don’t have one, and don’t have plans for one, but you never know!Thanks Joe!
I do appreciate Jim’s timely response, that doesn’t happen often enough (sometimes not at all) with some Marketing Programs.
At this point, I am leaning towards joining. It may even happen this afternoon. Since not all of the Advertisers I am affiliated with at present are performing very well, I need to make a decision soon.
Have you tried BlogKits? What do you think of them?

Just visited Blogkit, it seems that they are a cost-per-action advertising network that allows web publishers to make money referring customers to merchants. And they claim that Blogkit can be used together with AdSense.
I may test them later.
Hey Alan,
CPA is not really a bad thing if the advertisers match your blog in overall theme. People are looking for something when they go online and this could be a way to reach some of your readers.
I have made a little something from BlogKits, so they are going to stay as long as they perform.
