Hmm... initially, I my goal was to build a deals website and that's what happened.
But not getting any visitors after much hard work on *time-sensetive* coupons was very discouraging.
Then, I realized after 6 months that there are virtually 100s of deal websites, and after studying a few threads here and there on a few forums only 2 deal sites emerged to be popular.
These sites also rank top on Alexa, so it's pretty obvious that they're doing well.
Now my focus has shifted to articles and comparison shopping combined with deals.

I'm inbetween jobs right now, I quit my job about 6 months ago after abou 5 years of being in the programming industry.
So, I definitely can't waste anymore time on affiliate marketing right now.
I'm looking to build my programming skills (since languages change consntantly) and go back and get a job first.
After that may be I'll have some money to spend on PPC advertising like AdWords.

Thanks for offering to help, since I can't take anymore risk of doing work and not getting paid for it I'm putting off affiliate marketing on hold or just doing it on the side as a hobby for fun.
But when I'm serious (that's going to happen after I have a reliable source of income), I'll contact you.
For me time is money and I'm dedicated to learning programming languages to gain a better salary.
