One thing you should keep in mind is that you should only join affiliate programs that relate to your website. If your site is about home employment, it makes no sense to advertise jewelry on it. People are coming to your site to look for jobs, not diamonds. Although it's tempting to join any and every affiliate program that sounds lucrative, more is not always better. You could do quite well simply promoting one or two programs if they are a good fit for your site's audience and you present the products/services well.

Yes mim, that is great advice that everyone should keep in mind.

I usually plan my projects like this:

I determine what product I want to sell…
I carefully choose an affiliate program that fits my style and requirements
I choose some related keywords to focus the page on....

=> Finally I build the page around that product and those keywords...

Exactly , keywords are just too important when it comes to your page . But the only thing that you need to keep in mind it not to under-do or over -do this part . Keyword density is an important factor to determine the page content . the search engine spiders are getting smart enough to ignore websites that cheat them with only keywords and ads written on them rather than any other content . So just be careful enough to not do that .
