A good place to start out is with Google Adsense (which I do ok from) or YPN (Yahoo's equivalent) as it's so easy to implement. I also suggest joining up with Commission Junction and ShareASale as they are reliable payers with a good selection of merchants - from there, it's a case of selecting merchants that fit in your niche. I'm a big believer in not just throwing up banners about a product, but to create an article about the product or related to the product - works well. The exception there is Adsense as the scenario is reversed, given that it's contextual advertising it should be able to pick up on the topic of a page and show relevant ads; which certainly helps click rates.
