Lee ... and anyone else with sites for that matter ...
Being that you brought it up, I'm going to take the opportunity to spam it a little ;-)))
There's many levels you can be involved with it both mainstream and adult ... here's a summary
1) As an advertiser
Add your paysite to the affiliate network. There's a free and a paid version. Free version: All traffic coming in through DarkBlue affiliate links gets the site window, and a popunder featuring roar.com search results. The advertiser is paid % of earnings from the console revenue. Paid version: no popunder
2) Advertisers can sign up their own affiliates and run their own co-branded program using the system. Its good for mainstream sites where you want not only traffic but branding also.
I have been using it on RedHotGreetings.com for a year and a half ...
http://www.redhotgreetings.com/doc.php?d=webmasters - affiliate enters email address, gets sent verification code, goes to a darkblue page with redhotgreetings logo, logs in with redhotgreetings logo on first page etc.
It doesn't interfere with any other affiliate program you are running, you simply have to put a piece of code on your index page, and a piece of code on your join page, upload banners, and you're away.
RedHotGreetings has always been a play site for Xippy & I to do stuff we enjoy doing but in all the while its been sitting there, its built a really good database of members (and almost quarter of a million double opted in emails), just from doing a few little things like adding it to darkblue & a bit of google work.
Here's my statistics for this year so far:

3) As an affiliate
There's hundreds of mainstream sites listed in all kinds of niches, and also roar.com search boxes where you get paid a per click rate from a search results page. I put the roar box anywhere I couldn't be bothered customizing advertising - its good filler!!
I can answer some q's, but if you want to add some sites i'll get someone from DB here to help
I can strongly recommend giving it a try - even if I am biased
