I'm very new to running ads/affiliate content, so I'm just looking around at what's available locally (Australia). Anyone tried commissionmonster.com.au? Most of the Australian affiliates I've looked into all have a pretty average reputation - but I can't find many 'real person' opinions regarding commissionmonster.
Im signed up with them. I have some banners placed on a couple of sites but no earnings as yet. Their rates seem good enough, its just a matter of people being interested in Australia products and services (which they obviously aren't on my sites).
An opinion from over the ditch. I used to be with comission monster - it really didn't make me any cash showing ads on my NZ based sites. BUT the affiliate program we run for our NZ business does bring in sales, so I don't think the market is too small - you just need to find good quality affiliate schemes, and place them in context on your site. Comission Monster promised for over a year to add an NZ merchent section - as far as I know they never did, after a year I asked them to stop e-mailing me. I use www.clixgalore.com.au - it works for me.
I am signed up with Commission monster - they have good offers, but I haven't tried yet. Another good Aussie affilite is CMS (checkmystats)
