Found an alternative to Chitika for affiliates

    I was kind of po when I received a rejected email from Chitika... so I went searching for alternatives.

    Chitika turned me down due to not enough traffic on my blog. Fortunately I found a similar service based on a much more fair and open market. DataFeedFile.com is a similar service with much more options and banner sizes to choose from. What I like about DataFeedFile.com is they allow you to choose what merchant to display products for. DataFeedFile.com seems to be a colaboration of hundreds of merchants from the affiliate industry. Check them out yourself, http://www.DataFeedFile.com.

    Who cares Google rank if they pay?

    besides is not the first time that Google gives rank 0 to a site, I have seen MSN and DP with rank 0 during the infamous ranking updates.

    I wouldn't risk using some unknown network that is 2 months old and brought up by a one-post-wonder

    Normally a site like this offering such kind of service should have registered the domain for a long period of time rather than registering it for short term. As others said there is no one yet been paid by this site, so better not to make yourself excited to join.

    I agree it probably would also be more than 2 months old if it were a legitimate company

    I've blogged about them last week and talked to the owner Andrew. Plus publicly called him oput about some major forum spam one of his people did at another forum with like 15 OT dup spam posts which they have since deleted.

    Yes they are new but seem legit. They are using the 4th click monetization option like Golden Can. The key will be to see if they can gain enough traction with merchants. If enough merchants come on board and pay for the 4th click then they may be a good option and their model may grow. Right now they are still in beta so time will tell.

    yes, time will tell until their domain expires, you see whois information is important in finding a legit company or a business like this online, still the thing about short term domain registration.

    What is big deal if a company decides to renew their domains one year at a time? itunes.com is set to expire here in less than 3 months (09-Aug-2006). Does that mean Apple is less stable than Enron because they chose to renew their domain for a longer period of time (2010-10-09)? :rolleyes:

    I understand that these guys may not have much of a history, but since you are not paid directly by them anyway it doesn't seem like much of a risk to take if it was a service that I was interested in.
