Good Affiliate programs- Suggestions?

[slashdot fan]

I am researching good affiliate programs. Could you please contribute to my list?

What I mean by "good" is that the programs
- Are very reputed.
- Provide access to product listings by web api.

A couple of the ones that every body knows are

- Amazon
- ebay

I would be interested in all categories jewellery, healthy and beauty, automative, telecommunications, etc..

You would do well to go and look at the merchant lists in the major affiliate networks. Try CJ for starters.

Thanks.

Any suggestions for sites that provide access to their inventory through APIs/

[ska_demon]

API's are not my thing. You can get datafeeds for a lot of merchants if i'm understanding you right. I think you have to pay for them from cj tho. A lot of the other networks give them away.

$200 for CJ feeds unless you can generate 10k in sales in any single month I think.

Data feeds are good too. Any suggestion on good data feed merchants?

[ska_demon]

From my past experience datafeeds vary in quality from merchant to merchant. Some are an absolute nightmare and some work brilliantly. You will have to join the networks and find out for yourself. Be aware that by pushing another datafeed site out there amongst the 1000's of others using the same feed is a difficult way to succeed unless you have something extra to add that your users will love.
