Best affiliate network for eCommerce site?

[ByronM]

Anyone have affiliate network recommendations for a new ecommerce site carrying electronics/technology products and which affiliate network may best match?

Obviously CJ is more expensive than i can front right now and there are 1000s of others out there that seem so focused on specific niche's that they may not be viable for pushing many products/services.

i did browse the affiliate forum here but that looked focus on the affiliate sites rather than commerce/affiliate network selections ;)

Depending upon the situation it might be worth your while to look into running an affiliate program external to CJ and their competitors. In some of the niches that I work in, it's been much more beneficial to run the affiliate program within the ecommerce website.

I was thinking of that.. that extra fee you owe to the network really cuts into the payments you can make so running your own may make more fiscal sense.

Recruiting affiliates is most of the work and very expensive, can't do this well with an in house program. Try Shareasale.

Depending upon the traffic and niche it can be quite easy. Again though, there are a lot of variables involved.
