Affiliate marketing is great for certain types of sites or rather certain types of traffic, if you can market an affiliate program that fulfills a visitor's immediate need, it will do well, if otherwise, it'll do poorly...

Let's say that you have a forum, how can you apply affiliate program there?

I don't think that there is a best way to promote a website. It should be a combination of many techniques and it's different from site to site.

Affiliate program is one way of promoting a website. it depends on where to link your website and or depends on the techniques on how you do to your website.
Select an affiliate program that will fit your services like Clickbank. Just sign up and read the guidelines on how to join in such affiliate program
