    I am using DFF here but find it to be really slow and unreliable. I'm thinking of going another direction.

    I am partial to popshops. With their seo features and ability to have all the links point to your site. You have very few outbound links and less penalty with the SE. Better SEO means more money!

    Ive been playing with goldencan for a couple of days, it doesnt have many customization options so the stores it builds for each affiliate are all basically the same, it also seems slow to load sometimes. It is pretty quick to set up though so could be handy for quickie sites.

    Pop Shops has way more customization options, Ive just been using the free trial but will probably upgrade to the pay version for some future projects.

    Both of these guys are 4th click merchant. Basically they take 25% of your sales, and if your website makes $1,000 a month you're handing them $250 PER MONTH.

    Way, way too expensive.

    They both suck.

    Actually, Popshops is not. and 4th click does not necessarily mean 1/4 of your revenue.

    I've only recently gotten started with popshops and have the pro version. I'm wondering if it makes sense to upgrade to the enterprise package. I guess I'm asking whether folks have seen a ROI that has made the increased cost worth it?

    Hi Had a look at what the wordpress plugin for popshops can do and was well impressed

    The main hang up I have with popshops is that most of its merchants are USA , very few UK merchants and its not getting any better recently,

    4th click is basically 1/4th revenue, maybe less maybe more.

    I checked Popshops only quickly, I guess it's only the free version that is 4th click?

    Their enterprise is $30 a month so not bad.

    POPSHOPS IS WINNAR

    Goldencan has some merchants that are 4th click and some are free.
    Check their site for a list of each.

    I have some affiliate sites that use 4th click software, at first it was a small monthly fee but now that they are making okay money I try not to think of how much Im paying every month! On the other hand the software is allowing me to make a good profit without much work so maybe its worth it, at least Im getting paid.

    For the record, PopShops does not use 4th click with any of its subscriptions (including the free Basic plan). Affiliates always keep 100% of their commissions.

    And centime: the number of UK merchants (via LinkShare and CJ) is going to increase significantly over the next week or so. And although there is no way yet to filter for them, we're working on it.

    i couldnt get golencan's php code to work right in my wordpress site. When selecting an iten from a list, it would take me to index.php which isn't where the goldencan code was placed. Really annoying, anyone know a solution?
    I am stuck using javascript but its not SEO friendly.
