Affiliate Networks
As online advertising gets more competitive and expensive, web merchants are increasingly promoting their products through affiliate networks.
Affiliate networks act as third-party “honest brokers” and function as middlemen between merchants and affiliates. Merchants use affiliate networks to list their products and the details of their affiliate programs, and affiliates can then sign-up for the ones they choose. The affiliate network generally handles sales tracking statistics, provision of marketing tools, and issuing commission checks to affiliates.
For merchants, joining an affiliate network places thousands of eager affiliates right on their doorstep. The marketing value and simplicity of having another company administer their affiliate program is worth the (sometimes) hefty prices charged by the networks.
Joining an affiliate network is free for affiliates, and the process of finding and selecting programs is simplified through categorical search facilities. Because merchants pay top-dollar for a good network's management services, affiliate networks in general tend to offer higher-quality programs.
At most networks, you enter all your contact and payment details (name, address, phone number, etc.) just once. After your application is accepted, you can apply to each merchant's program separately. In some instances, approval is immediate, and in others you may have to wait a day (or seven) for the merchant to get back to you.
Once accepted, marketing material for each merchant is readily available, and HMTL code for links is usually generated with a single mouse click. You simply cut and paste the code into your Web site pages. Banners are usually hosted on the network’s servers, saving you bandwidth charges.
As an affiliate member of a network, you will receive notification when new merchants join the network. Some networks will send only notices of merchants that are relevant to your site, which saves time when sorting through your email. Some networks even let you know which merchant programs are low on funds and therefore may not be a good idea to promote at a given time.
Most networks consolidate your earnings from affiliated merchants into a single monthly paycheck. Access your statistics in a centralized interface is another big benefit to joining a network.
Each affiliate network is set-up and operates differently. So in the section you’ll find information about the network URL, signup restrictions, program types, minimum payouts and payment processes, tracking, the availability of multi-tier programs and whether email marketing is permitted at the 'Net's top affiliate networks.
For each network I've included a list of the program types available. The codes are as follows:
- CPA (cost-per-action/lead generation)
- CPC (cost-per-click)
- CPS (cost per sale)
- CPM (cost per impression)
I have listed networks that offer CPA, CPC and CPS programs, and left the CPM networks out of the equation. CPM campaigns are usually low-paying sweepstakes or other 'freebie' types of offers that simply want to collect email addresses so that they can send out more promotional material for which you won’t get paid.
I highly recommend that you visit the affiliate networks profiled on the following pages, and use the additional space provided on those pages to note your username and password for that network, or make comments about merchants whose programs you may be interested in joining later.

The one page signup process is fairly easy with all the standard questions. I'm always grateful to see that they want to know where to send my checks! ☺
Too, Affiliate Fuel is the ONLY affiliate network that ever sent me a 'We Appreciate Your Business' card. Very nice touch, indeed! Affiliate Fuel's merchant clients include BlockBuster Online, Eterm Life Insurance and LowCostLending.com.

Casino Coins Network
Here is a word of caution about promoting online casinos and Internet gambling. If your client wins a jackpot, your account may show a negative balance until you've generated enough revenue from other players to bring your account out of the hole. Don't worry, you won't have to pay anything, but it is a factor you should consider. Note: 'Casino Rewards' casino network 'zero balances' affiliate accounts that are in the hole at the end of every month.
Casino Coins' sponsor casinos include English Harbour Casino, Caribbean Gold Casino, Silver Dollar Casino, SuperSlots Casino, Millionaire Casino and the All Poker Casino.
| URL | http://casinocoins.com |

| Email Marketing | Permitted |
Casino Rewards
Casino Rewards claims that their top-earning affiliates are raking in over $50,000 per month!
Casino Rewards wipes all negative balances at the end of each month, and negative balances in one casino do not affect positive balances in others. This system is a HUGE benefit to affiliates.

ClickBank
ClickBank distributes over 10,000 digital products and services through a network of over 100,000 affiliates. I use Clickbank's services both as an affiliate and as a merchant, and I can attest to the fact that the checks arrive like clockwork. ClickBank withholds back 10% from each check to cover their risk of future returns. The holdbacks are credited back to your account after about 90 days.
You don’t have to wait for acceptance from individual merchants. Simply browse the marketplace, get and post your link, and start making money.
ClickBank's clients and products include Yanik Silver and Jeff Ball's 'Get Fit While You Sit', Jim Edwards’ “How to Write Your Own eBook in 7 Days” …and of course “The Super Affiliate Handbook: How I Made $436,797 in One Year Selling Other People’s Stuff Online”.

| Minimum Payout | $10, adjustable upwards. A $2.50 accounting fee is deducted from each check issued, so you may want to adjust your minimum payment upwards if your two-week earnings are low. |
| Payments | Checks are mailed within 15 days after the end of each pay period, and pay periods end at 12:00:01am on the 1st and 16th of each month. Checks over $5,000 are sent at Clickbank's expense by US Priority Mail (US) or Global Priority Mail (Europe, Canada, Australia, etc) wherever possible. Payment is by check only. |

Commission Junction
Commission Junction (CJ) refers to its affiliates as ‘publishers’. There are no signup restrictions other than non-acceptance of sites that contain or link to sites that are libelous, defamatory, obscene, abusive, violent, bigoted, hate-oriented, illegal, cracking, hacking or warez, or offers any illegal goods or services. Turnaround time on the application is very quick.
Commission Junction's merchant clients include eBay, Etronics, Frederick's of Hollywood, NetZero Platinum, Overture and Yahoo! Personals.
| URL | http://cj.com |
| Programs | CPA, CPC, CPS |
| Minimum Payout | $25/up to $75 |
| Payments | Payments are made on the 20th of the month to Canadian and American publishers (i.e. CJ’s name for affiliates), and on the last day of the month to publishers outside those countries. Advertiser payments are available in 16 different currencies and are consolidated into one monthly check. Direct bank deposits are available. |
| Tracking | Real-time |
| Multi-Tier | Yes, with restrictions. They allow only U.S. and U.K. publishers to earn commissions from introducing new publishers to their service. What's up with THAT? I've contacted them regarding this seeming discriminatory practice, however I've received no acceptable (IMHO) explanation for the policy. |
| Email Marketing | Yes |
Commission Soup
Commission Soup and Credit Soup are part of the same affiliate network that specializes in offering financial related products. Commission Soup accepts affiliates from all over the world, with the stipulation that, "All of our programs (U.S. credit card offers) are only available to U.S. citizens, so you will need to have a site that markets to the U.S." Hurray - a site where sanity prevails.
Commission Soup’s clients include Advanta, Chase and Discover.

Quinstreet
Quinstreet gets points from me for their lovely design. The signup form is really short - it doesn't even ask for your address. But don't worry, you’ll get a chance to tell them where to send the check after you've set up your username.
Based on my experience with Quinstreet's system, it would seem that all merchants are set up to automatically approve applications.
Quinstreet clients include ADT Security, Red Cross, Save the Children Fund and the University of Phoenix.

ReferBack
ReferBack is an affiliate network for online casinos that does not allow adult or adult-oriented sites.
I honestly don't think that I've seen another network that goes as far as ReferBack does to help its affiliates succeed.
Their interface is very easy to use, and marketing tools include an impressive array of banners, rotating banners, Flash banners, progressive tickers, HTML emails, text emails, active scrollers, popup windows, text links, newsletters and site reviews. Contact is made easy with 800 numbers listed for the U.S., Canada and the U.K.
Referback's casino partners include Aces High, Capital, Gaming Club, Home, Jackpot City, Lucky Nugget, RiverBelle, and Showdown.

ShareaSale
It took only a day to have my ShareaSale application approved, and once into the interface, I was informed that my membership level was 'limited' - that I could only apply to pay-per-lead and pay-per-sale program until I'd generated at least one pay-persale transaction or $20 worth of valid CPA transactions. I guess that helps them weed out impatient affiliate spam marketers.
ShareaSale’s has a couple thousand offers and clients include Avitan Technologies Corp., Glamor Shades, DanceSavvy, World Speakers Association, Student Planner and Bonsai Boy of New York.
| URL | http://shareasale.com |

WebSponsors
Websponsors' application process is short, sweet and pretty much automatic.
Everything about WebSponsors' interface is easy to use. The 'Creative Rotation Manager' allows you to add rotating banners to your site that are specific to profiles that you create. This helps with your ad tracking. While other networks offer the same feature, WebSponsors interface is just quicker and easier to use.
One cool feature that WebSponsors offers is their 'co-branding' tool. It allows you to build a subdomain of their Free2Try.com and TrialOffers.com. The tool provides an interface with which you can add a logo and header to your subdomain, as well as choose colors for the text, links and background. Just for fun, I tried out the interface and added my header from finditat.rosalinds.com to co-brand both subdomains. Here are the results:
Î http://webvista.trialoffers.com/ Î http://webvista.free2try.com/
Although those aren't the types of sites that I would typically promote, they do give me very quick access to my link codes. As you can see when you cursor over any of the links on either of those sites, my affiliate ID has been embedded into each of the links.
WebSponsors' clients include AT&T Wireless, IBM, Herbalife and Qwest.
| URL | http://websponsors.com |
| Programs | Primarily CPA |
| Minimum Payout | $15.00 |
| Payments | Monthly electronic transfer payments (ACH) to your bank |
| account on a Net 30 days payment basis. | |

Commission Junction: My Favorite Affiliate Network
Here are 12 reasons why Commission Junction is my favorite affiliate network… despite the fact that they don’t allow anyone but U.S. residents to earn commissions when referring new affiliates and merchants to their network.
1. Commission Junction claims that 64% of top 50 Web properties are CJ clients. I believe this. While CJ wasn't the first affiliate network, it certainly took the lead to become the best in terms of both quality and quantity.
Thousands of BIG name-brand companies use Commission Junction to administer their affiliate programs. Dell, eBay and Sprinks are just 3 of hundreds of brand name merchants affiliated with Commission Junction. Buying online still presents a problem for many folks, but if they can buy from a brand name company that they trust, they’re much more likely to part with their money.
2. The CJ interface is intuitive and easy-on-the-eyes. Unlike some other affiliate network interfaces, CJ's designers did a great job of making the interface easy to navigate and free of eyestrain.
3. Finding programs at CJ is much easier and faster. In most cases you do a simple search for an advertiser, link, or product, by entering a keyword into a search blank. All relevant merchants are then returned. At too many of the smaller networks, merchants are allowed to place themselves in irrelevant categories which makes finding appropriate advertisers that much more difficult.
4. Selecting PROVEN programs is easy at CJ. Statistics showing how well each merchant converts site visitors into sales are given for a 3-month period. You can also see the average commissions paid to affiliates for every 100 clicks for the previous seven days. Using CJ’s ‘dollar sign’ rating system, you can see the volume of commissions paid by a particular advertiser, relative to the rest of CJ’s network.
The dollar sign rankings are as follows:
$$$$$=95th percentile and above
$$$$=80-94th percentile
$$$=60-79th percentile
$$=40-59th percentile
$=39th percentile and below
Blank=No commissions earned
5. At CJ, you never have to search for commission rates. Commission percentage or dollar value per sale/lead, are prominently displayed alongside each Advertiser’s listing.
6. More information is always available at CJ. Clicking on the Advertiser’s name takes you to a page giving a written description of the company, their product and the affiliate program. Below the description is a ‘more information’ link, and below that, a contact link.
7. CJ and its merchants won't spam you with thousands of offers daily. You can choose not to receive email from merchants whose programs you have joined. That email is then delivered to your mailbox on CJ’s system.
8. Contacting CJ merchants is super easy. Within the CJ mail system there is a drop-down box listing all the companies you are currently affiliated with. Simply choose the appropriate one, write your message in the accompanying box and send it. Certainly beats fishing through your own email program and trying to dig up an address that will actually get to the affiliate program manager.
9. Getting linking codes and graphics at CJ is SO easy! Simply click the ‘get links’ link, choose from the wide assortment of text and graphic links returned, and then copy and paste the code that pops up. No saving images to your computer. All the graphics are stored on, and called from, Commission Junction’s servers. I like saving bandwidth!
You can also create your own ‘SmartZones’, which are collections of rotating links that may contain links from the same, or many different advertisers. Each link within the SmartZone is assigned a "weight" that determines how often it will display in relation to the other links within the SmartZone. You get one small snippet of javascipt to place on your page, and then when you want to add or remove banners, you do so through the CJ interface. Nice and easy!
10. Excellent capability for researching your statistics at CJ. You can access more than 100 customizable reports with real-time data through the CJ Account Manager. Publishers can generate reports on their individual links, transactions, and their individual merchants, or "advertiser partners".
11.Ask for help at CJ and you shall receive it. The help system can be searched by index, glossary, contents, or a simple search. If you still can’t find the answer you are looking for, simply send the CJ rep an email. My experience is that they always respond within the same day.
12. CJ commissions are consolidated into one payment. That makes filling out your deposit slips much faster! If you don't want to bother with deposit slips, direct deposit is an available option.
If you join no other affiliate network, be sure to join Commission Junction. Their client list is equally, if not more, impressive than BeFree's list.
