Top Affiliate Merchant "Warehouses "

Share your experiences

[Drastic]

My best performing merchant warehouses are:

1)Commission Junction
2)OnResponse
3)WebSponsors

There are also some in-house affiliate programs for a few individual merchants doing decently.

What are your best?

Nice info. Websponsers? Really? That surprises me. CJ doesn't, and I have no experience with OnResponse.

After the travel booking engines...

befree (a fluke, 80% from one merchant, only 2 really doing anything)
CJ (the best overall selection, I have a good roster of steady performers there)
linkshare (I went to them for one merchant that I knew would perform, there may be some others in there)

not bad for a couple of bucks a day (if they pay)...
clickxchange

Websponsors (not to be confused with websitesponsors) and onresponse have a very similar setup. Most of the offers are for leads for something "free." The offers expire and you have to stay on top of them. It just depends on your audience.

OnResponse has done better for me, and they usually have a higher payout for the same offer.

CJ, linkshare, and befree are all still contenders. I am just getting tired of the bait-and-switch stuff, and having to constantly monitor everything.

Funny... that's exactly the way I feel about OnResponse.

What do you have to monitor with OnResponse?

In my experience, they are usually right on top of the situation, and if you have an expired offer that gets clicked, they fire off an email to you right away - super handy.

Hi everybody,
First of all I beg your pardon for my English:
I started working with CJ because the pay you in a single payment all the revenue you generated with theyr merchants without having to deal with the merchants directly. I think this is very important. As per what I know, LinkShare and BeFree does not payout a single check to you summarizing all the merchants revenues, isn't it?
Which are the Ad Networks that pay out to you a single check summarizing all merchants revenues, avoiding you to deal with the various merchants?

>Ad Networks that pay out to you a single check summarizing all merchants

Hi alaska,welcome to WmW.

I'm not very familiar with all of the affiliate networks, but I believe clickxchange.com pays on a single check.

Welcome, Alaska.

In addition to CJ and clickxchange, there are a couple other companies that aggregate payments from different advertisers.

These companies generally sell advertising packages to various advertisers. Each advertiser may purchase a certain number of clicks, or leads, or a set time frame for expiration of their offer/ad. They have many different offers/ads in a variety of categories. They do require more maintenance because you have to remove/change ads as they expire. These companies tell you what the expiration date is of each program, so you know an ad's expected life before placing it.

These are reputable companies and generally have reliable pay schedules:
OnResponse [onresponse.com]
WebSponsors [websponsors.com]
CyberBounty [cyberbounty.com]
Directleads [directleads.com]
SponsorShips [sponsorships.net]
