Merchant Affiliate Programs - What Is the Best Affiliate Network?

You may ask why not just list your product on multiple affiliate networks in order to gain maximum exposure and gain extra affiliates. You can do this, but then you have to create multiple sales pages all with the same copy on the same domain which the search engines won't like and your affiliates would quickly recognize this and abandon you.

The reasoning for this is that if they send the traffic to your sales page with their affiliate link/cookie and that customer doesn't purchase the product right then but tries to come back a few days later and inadvertently finds one of your OTHER sales pages with a different network, that affiliate obviously won't get credit for the sale.

This will severely turn off any affiliates who have this realization, but furthermore it just looks extremely awkward having multiple sales pages on the same domain which is why you don't see it more often.

Then I heard about an up and coming affiliate network which was garnering a lot of praise called DigiResults.

The battle lines were drawn, let's see who came out on top in each of the most important categories.

Product Registration Cost/Transaction Fees

Winner, DigiResults

Obviously there are going to be costs associated with selling your product through an affiliate network because they're doing a lot of the work such as payment tracking and processing.

ClickBank requires a $49.95 activation fee (lame) for every new product you list in their marketplace, and every new product has to be approved to ensure that you meet their strict guidelines for merchants. Additionally, they take a cut of every sale which you log. The exact cut is $1
