Having actually done this, it is a loosing direction (sadly). The idea is great, but people just don’t participate in that way. The closest I got was a Watch community that linked to eBay and I would add affiliate links if there were none. But that was one forum out of a million.

I work for a photography site. While money is tight thanks to less money being in the industry, most of the money we make is still with direct contacts, be it the major companies advertising their products, or smaller merchants advertising their stock. All context targeted, not user profiled.

Photography is great as items to sell into that market can be quite expensive.
