Directory of affiliate program networks.

  Affiliate Program Networks
  These are companies that manage the affiliate programs for other companies. The good part about being accepted into a network is that you can represent many different companies, with less time and hassle, and you can usually track your statistics a little better.

  It pays to join several networks. Not just to get different merchants, but also because many merchants will have a program on several networks. Sometimes the pay for a program can vary as much as 10% to 50% from one network to another.

  So it's usually a good idea to compare and keep notes. But it can be confusing at times, and that's compounded by the fact that you don't know what the pay rate for a program is until you get accepted into the networks.

  For a typical example:
Network A) runs promo#1 at a CPL* of $1.50 and promo#2 at a CPL of $2.00
Network B) runs promo#1 at a CPL of $1.75 and promo#2 at a CPL of $1.90
so what do you do?

  Simply join both networks and run the higher CPL for each. Keep notes, and just do the best you can. It may not seem like much - the example above is only a difference of $0.35 total - but after only a hundred leads, that's an extra $35.00 in your pocket. So it's worth it.

            * - CPL = Cost Per Lead. Aka: Pay Per Lead

I strongly recommend that you get some sort of tracking program to keep all your affiliate data organized. If you want a recommendation, it would be hard for me to find anything wrong with Affiliate Manager - it's easy to use, reasonably priced and will keep all the info you will need safe and secure.

AffiliateBot.com - Mostly sale programs, good scattering of lead programs. OK affiliate control panel.

Affiliate Fuel! - A good mix of lead and sale programs. Excellent affiliate support. New affiliates must meet strict guidelines and minimum traffic levels...

Affiliate Window - A great affiliate network that pay in POUNDS, Dollars and Euros. They have a growing list of great affiliate programs and offer great commissions. I'm not currently using this network, a high percentage of their programs are based in Europe, UK, etc.

Kolimbo Network - Mostly sale, a good scattering of lead programs. Kolimbo is not really a 'network' like the others listed here, it's more like a 'central co-op' of different merchants with their own "In-House" programs, but they all use the same affiliate tracking software (Kawabunga)... you can apply to merchants and track simple stats from Kolimbo, but get your checks, links & such from the merchants directly.



LeaderMarkets - Over 500 Top-Performing CPA Offers.

LeadHound - Mostly lead programs. OK affiliate control panel, OK statistics, relatively low pay rates... I don't use this one much, but only because when I signed up they had mostly the same programs I was already advertising for through other networks and they generally pay less for the same campaigns.

Link Connector ~ Earn money from your website traffic!

LinkShare - Mostly sale programs. Wide variety of merchant programs, OK but clunky affiliate control panel, good statistics. Good variety of linking options.
