What is the best pay per click affiliate program?

[Daniel]

Basically i do not own a website or blog etc. What i am looking for is a pay per click affiliate program that uses links. e.g. i copy and paste my link to someone on a chat room? and when they click it i get the 1-10 cents per click. If you could paste the link to a website that does this and 'briefly' explain how they work that would be great thanks
P.s. Legit programs of course.

The process you described would not work. Most companies have it set up so you need a blog or a website to make money with PPC programs. The links are usually in JavaScript, which is why you cannot post it in a chat room box.

If you are really serious about making money with advertising then you need to set up a blog/website (which can be done for free) and write about something. Online advertisers want to make sure that targeted people are visiting offers because people pay A LOT of money to advertise online.

Also, clicking your own links will only get you banned.

If you are serious about PPC programs then check out google adsense, infolinks, adbrite, and chitika.

There really is no easy method like this that exists because you would basically just be stealing money from the advertisers. However, if you set-up a blog that receives traffic, it is pretty practical that you can make from $0.15-$3.00 for a single click depending on the offer.

Yea that's a pretty desperate, low paying approach, there is link producing software that does it on a massive scale, people using this form of automation sell packages of (junky) like for as little as 1/10 of a cent. Aside from the logistical problem of identifying which links you created, that roundabout approach is just not going to generate enough results to be worthwhile.
You could setup your own blog on a free host, part of the standard process for getting more traffic to the site (where you cold earn ppc ad hosting and affiliate link revenue eventually), is to get links from other sites, similar to what you describe, but for your site's benefit, it's easier to be credited for clicks that you cause to happen on your site.

Other forms of busywork, a bit more certain to pay than PPC or survey crap are "micro task" sites that pay small change for a few minutes work, the original "Mechanical Turk" was created by Amazon to 'automate' tasks a computer couldn't do, like pick the better of 2 photos, they named mturk.com after the 18th century chess playing machine that had a man hidden inside. Many of the tasks are boosting the popularity of sites by visiting or voting them up, there are also more shady actions they may ask you to take, including signing up for product trials for which they get a commission, you get to choose the tasks you want to perform. Having Facebook, Google+ and social bookmarking site helps your qualification. Shorttask.com and microworkers.com are similar sites.
