Yep, rules. Read 'em. Abide by 'em. Or your sea creature powers may be revoked. Temporarily, or for good.

1. New to the lounge? Get started here. Learn which category to post your note in, and create a forum signature.
2. Spam: just don't do it. Thou also shalt not fill the forums with multiple threads on the same topic, sockpuppet, or link to irrelevant and non-Squidoo sites (includes signatures).
3. Thou shalt not flame, harass, denigrate, spam, malign, or otherwise finger-point and name-call at ANYONE. This one's a biggy. This too can get you banned.
4. Squidstaff love interacting with smart front-line people, so they stop by the forums from time to time to hear your ideas and share updates. However, this isn't the place to post bugs or solicit admin action. Please send those requests through our feedback link.
5. The SquidU forum is a place for users to interact, to share ideas and inspiration (and yes, gripes... maybe another lensmaster can help) and have fun with their lenses. Try searching for an answer or visiting The Answer Deck.

Does anyone have a lens comparing affiliate networks?

I've asked before about Share a Sale, Link Share, and Commission Junction. But I also see some with Click Bank, Peppa Jam (sp?), and some links to affiliate programs I don't even know.

So, my question is does anyone have a lens reviewing the various affiliate networks? I'd love to see a comparison from user.

Re: Does anyone have a lens comparing affiliate networks?

don’t know about a lens but I do have alot of  experience with various ones . My  thoughts on  affiliates are  a  waste of time  as a primary focus ( if you want to know why  most of them don’t make it though  my "checklist" of  things to look for .  You can find that checklist  in the  last text  module of my lens). If you are  using it for some reason  say  for example  an advertising affiliate  then it  would make sense because your main purpose with it is not to make money but to use the advertising. one of the biggest is  I  like things that pay  residuals   and one time commissions.


Just getting commission onece on sales sucks lol P


I look at things though  ROI  (return on investment) that does not always mean money  it can  mean time and  effort  as well.  I will voice my very strong opinion though   stay away form click bank ...  the vast majority of their stuff at   the very best is " shady"   and some are downright scams . This is only my opinion of course.

I agree about clickbank , their time has been and gone !

I use Affiliate Future based in the uk, it is free to join and has some great company's to promote, even my daughter (12) has made a few sales with them promoting a goth, emo and punk clothing shop.

I am on course to make at least £100 in my first month so i will let you know if the payment system is up to scratch.

PS: Do not use the link above as it does not work ????

I just added a new topic to my lens thanks to your inspiration.  It doesn’t review anything specifically but I think will still answer your question and give you some added info on what to look for

Have a great day!
