UK Affiliate sites

Can anyone recommend quality affiliate sites in the UK?

[travelin cat]

We are looking for quality (as in CJ) affiliate sites that operate in the United Kingdom. What I was able to find via Google searches are some real garbage.

We are specifically looking for finance related affiliate programs.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried trade doubler or affiliate window.

[travelin cat]

maccas, I just discovered affiliate window. Seems to be a good one. I'll check out the other this weekend.

Thanks for the reply....

UK only, I recommend

Affiliate Future
OMGUK

And avoid

Affiliate Window
DGM2 (UK Affiliates)

Global

Commission Junction
Tradedoubler

This reply assumes that you were looking for network sites as opposed to sites actually published by affiliates.

Also, a word of warning, the UK's A4u forum is highly impartial. The membership there is more interested in promoting its own objectives re spyware and the like than actually educating and assisting its membership to become more effective affiliates, which is why I don't waste my time with it any more.

They will claim otherwise until they're blue in the face, but very few of the members make any real money either. Many members here make far, far more.

No offence, but as a major producer in the UK finance arena I felt it worthwhile to present a balanced view based on my experience.

funny I've been using Affiliate Window for years with no problems and monthly payouts, can you elaborate on why not to use them

[mfishy]

There are loads of UK merchants in CJ. You can search for links by region. I don't have personal experience with many of them, but some have very strong EPC numbers.

Anyone with any experience with ClickXchange (dot com)? Have only just signed up with them.

Tigger, yes I can but not on here. I would also suggest that this would be a fairly pointless exercise if you're an existing happy customer- I can't really see what purpose it would serve.

I am using affiliatewindow for three months now and if I can make money with them (their advertisers) anyone can.

If I may suggest an advertiser ;Catalog link

Travelin Cat, you may also find smart quotes useful. Once past the initial month while stats are delivered, which can be notoriously slow with finance, they are a good bunch, and payment is reliable and on time.

Otherwise I'd agree that OMGUK are an excellent team.

Id have to disagree with Michael about affiliate window and DGM, both of which i have used for over 3 years with no problems - if you cant share the experience then why post?

"The membership there is more interested in promoting its own objectives re spyware"

Not sure what is meant by that, but spyware / adware is a serious threat, and one that some shortsigthed affiliates do not seem to realise. Its a shame that you belittle the hard work and personal effort that some people have put in to try to make every affiliates life a better, profitable and longterm one.

[travelin cat]

TheWizard, could you possibly stickymail me the url for smart quotes? Thanks for your input...

[Michael Anthony]

To Matt and all at the a4u forum, my sincere personal apologies - fora are all about sharing opinions, so why should mine count for more than anyone else's? It doesn't, and my first post was unreasonable.

To anyone that is happy with Affiliate Window, congratulations.

Peace and love :)
