I have a company that is almost 2 years old. Like most people I struggle to get traffic to the site. When I advertise on yahoo and google I get really, really good conversions. However, traffic is not always great. I have a great products with name brand recognition and I'm sure better traffic would result in better sales. We offer commissions of about 25% and our products can be used in just about any site, no matter what the niche. I have decided to try an affiliate program. However, most of the info I find here is from the affiliate point of view. I was interested in knowing what programs work best for merchants. I cannot afford large networks that require large deposits of thousands of dollars. I was interested in knowing what merchants had to say about networks such as Dark Blue, clickxchange, etc. I tried clixgalore and it hasn't done that well for me. Clickxchange says that they would promote the program with a premiere account and find affiliates. All help is appreciated.
You will be much better off going with MPORT or Shareasale. Linkconnector may be another option. I have reviews and pricing over here: http://www.5staraffiliateprograms.com/trackingsoftware.html
