Affiliate Marketing Networks

Affiliate Networks are an easy way to become an affiliate or offer affiliate programs.

If you are looking to become an affiliate, Affiliate Networks have databases full of merchants who offer affiliate programs. They are easily searchable by category so you can find the best affiliate programs for you.

One way to find good ideas for niche web sites is by joining small affiliate networks and hunting for niches which don't have many competitors.

Affiliate Networks are free to join.

They can be hard to find. They sometimes call themselves names like "marketing solutions provider", "pay-for-performance network", "cost-per-action advertising network", or even "performance-based online marketing services company".

Affiliate networks provide pay-per-lead (PPL), pay-per-sale (PPS), pay-per-action (PPA) – sometimes called cost per Mile (CPM) – and pay-per-click (PPC) offers from merchants that you promote on your web site or in your newsletter.

Some affiliate networks allow almost anyone to join. Others insist your site must receive a certain number of visitors.

Some let you see a directory of the merchants in the network before you join. Others show you their list of offers only after you join
