    What are the best credit card affiliate programs out there? I am looking for the most professional template and the widest range of cards to market.

    I saw Anthony Morrison's late-night infomercial a month ago and bought his book. They tried to upsale me to his website for $195 but I said no and read his book instead. I did some more investigating and found some things I thought were unprofessional:

    So I searched around and found a story about a guy who supposedly made money promoting his credit card site offline. He said he used mycreditcardcash.com as an affiliate. After seeing loads of unprofessional-looking credit card affiliate sites I decided to give them a chance. Similar to Anthony Morrison there is no customer service. No one is manning the phones which really ticks me off. They say they market 100+ cards yet they have only 10-15 in their template. It's all too bad since I think their template looks very professional. They have a free trial where if you get two signups within 14 days you have access to their template with no monthly fee afterwards. I did some searching and found some complaints. From reading everything I think they were one of the first to lose major bank credit cards that they had access to market by virtue of their smaller volume relative to say creditcards.com or cardoffers.com...neither which I have tried to apply to yet(but I am leaning towards).

    Is there any legit credit card affiliate company that is has a wide range of credit cards to choose from...something more than 10-15? Obviously I was a little late to the game with the credit crisis and all...but I think I have a decent domain name to market this type of product in a very professional manner offline as well as online. I have some stockbroker/mortgage loan officer in my history so I'd prefer to blog about financial stuff instead of things like weight loss products(which I don't believe in) and combine that with my real life efforts to promote the domain name to my site.

    I want something that's turn key that looks professional enough I don't have to reinvent the wheel on the website design or how to promote the individual cards. I just want my job to market the hell out of the domain name offline which is what I am good at(I think the keyword search game is too crowded and I used to advertise for home improvement businesses in real life). In other words I really hoped something like mycreditcardcash.com would have panned out but now I'm thinking it's best to just try applying to everyone of these affiliate programs and seeing for myself which are decent and which are garbage since it's so hard to find good information about this stuff.

    Oh and as far as starting a financial blog...I'd prefer to see if the credit card affiliate marketing industry doesn't go out of business first by the major banks pulling their credit cards away.

    I am new at this so any suggestions would be helpful...not so much on do this or that keyword search...but to find some REAL credit card affiliate company I can partner with to avoid the hassle of dealing with shady companies so I can finally simply concentrate on marketing a service without having to worry if whoever I'm with is going to go the way of the dodo bird.

    If the banks went through round two of the credit crisis which credit card affiliate marketer would be the last one left standing?
