It's a damn sight harder than it would first appear to be honest.
Tradedouble.com is a really good affiliate network where you cn host banners and what not, a few companies accept everyone that applies, but a lot of the companies actually hand check every applicant and see if the website is compatible and has enough traffic.
Then there is the different ways in which they pay:
Leads - Per newsletter sign up, etc (normally a few pence - I don't use this type)
Sales - you only make if someone actually buys something through your site (my game banner on the front page is like that)
Pay Per Click - They only have 2 companies that use this method properly Advertising.com and Valueclick.com both which pay between 2p and 20p per click depending on the traffic you send to their advertisers. Both companies are very fussy about the people who they accept too. (I was lucky to get accepted by both because I get 500,000+ hits a month through out my little empire)
I make roughly £80 a month through tradedoubler at the moment which is really not enough, considering I pay out well over £200 a month for hosting... :/ My savings are gradually going down all the time.
The best method to make money advertising is to use pop-up ads as you can make something like £3 per 1,000 impressions. I'd be laughing if I did that method, but I hate pop-ups and refuse to go near them.
