AvantLink

I love this network! Avantlink is very selective with their merchants and affiliates. They don't allow Parasites and have some of the most dedicated support you can ask for.  They have merchants in every category but are number one in Wedding/Bridal Gifts and Accessories and in everything outdoors.  They pay like clockwork on the 20th of each month with a low monthly threshold of $25.  They have marketing tools unmatched by any other network.  I can't say enough good things about AvantLink except they are exactly what affiliates have been asking for in a network.  Click here to apply: AvantLink

Pepperjam Network

Pepperjam is a new kid on the block but one of the best!  They have a great selection of merchants, high payouts, great support and an easy to use interface.  Here's what you can expect:

Pepperjam Network (PJN) is a next generation affiliate marketing network, which addresses two primary issues that have been lacking in the affiliate marketing industry for years: (1) poor and unreliable communication tools and (2) lack of transparency. With PJN, affiliates and merchants can communicate in real-time via Pepperjam Chat™, thereby providing a reliable communication system to build better, more profitable partnerships.  PJN also provides affiliates and merchants with a measure of transparency, which helps to establish trust and lays the groundwork for open, long-term, profitable relationships.

PJN is designed to make the experience of affiliate marketing profitable and educational for both merchants and affiliates.  Unlike most other traditional networks PJN uses Web 2.0 technology to provide affiliates and merchants with an easy-to-use, clean interface.  In addition, PJN offers industry leading SID-level tracking and reporting - this robust technology is especially beneficial to search marketing and sophisticated super affiliates that want to take advantage of the most up-to-date technology available to track at the keyword level.

ShareASale

This is one of my favorite networks.  Not only do they have great merchants that perform well, they also provide fabulous customer service, tools to help add products, PAY MONTHLY LIKE CLOCKWORK and NO Parasites!  They are the best affiliate network around right now and they are highly recommended.  They are also one of the fastest growing networks and have almost 3,000 merchants to choose from. They offer consolidated payments with a low monthly threshold of $50.00 - paid promptly on the 20th of each month. I have never known them to be late.  I have to say this again because it is so important - NO Parasites Allowed!  Click here to join ShareASale.

Commission Junction

There are thousands of merchants to choose from. They have consolidated payments with a low monthly threshold of $25.00. Some of their merchants include Bradford Exchange, The Disney Store, Buy Costumes and much more.  They also have plenty of smaller boutiques that carry wonderful merchandise.

*A down side to Commission Junction is that many of their merchants allow Scumware and Parasites to steal your commissions! CJ has posted a "Code of Conduct" but that has not changed much.  Click here  for more on Scumware.

Clixgalore

Clixgalore is a lesser known affiliate network in the US as it is based in Europe but it's a good one. They have a large variety of merchant programs from all over the world and you can choose from over 1,000.  The one thing I like about this network is it has many smaller merchants that don't have a program with one of the big 3 or 4 and they have a new and exciting feel to them.  Click here to join ClixGalore.
