Affiliate Network Needed

    I'm building a series of ecommerce sites that need an affiliate network to help with managing/paying the affiliates. But I have some specific requirements and could really use some insight from you all:

    -First and most important: The network has to be TRUSTWORTHY. I've heard horror stories about some affiliate networks...only recommend a network that you have personal experience with please!

    -The network has to be willing to accept "high risk" websites (not porn or pills, but alcohol and products similiar to alcohol).

    -The network must enable campaign tracking for affiliates and present the traffic information to them clearly.

    -The network must be fairly popular (I don't want some unknown network).

    -The websites will use osCommerce, so the network tracking scripts must be compatible with it.

    Right now, the only one I know of that meets these requirements is ShareASale and CommissionJunction. I can't go with CJ because the startup cost, but we do plan on using them in the future.

    I am an affiliate for ShareASale and I've been quite happy with them. But I would like to know what my other options are.

    Thanks very much folks :)

    There are others like LinkShare, Filinet, Linkconnector, to name a few. I am working to get LinkShare on my site.

    Hi Discreet,

    Shareasale is probably the best choice. Very reputable and lots of affiliates like it. Also take a look at www.ShareResults.com They are up in Canada, growing in popularity and also highly reputable. I'm doing some work with them this week so can hook you up with the right person there if you are interested. FYI LinkShare is more expensive than CJ.
