Japanese affiliate programs

from a sellers perspective

[David_M]

Does anyone know of Japanese affiliate systems that let EC sites jump into an established network?

...you mean like LinkShare Japan? That's one of the more well known ones.

Thanks Bill, thats exactly what I'm looking for.

I found some others too:
A8.net
ValueCommerce
TrafficGate

Any experience with any of them?

The impression we had last time we looked was the establishment and the overheads were way too high. From a publishers point the commissions (as a percentage) that are offered by most Japanese affiliate programs are too low. I suspect it has to do with high establishment and overheads.
