    It is worthy running affiliate programs because internet commerce is growing. Also affiliate programs doesnt cost you anything but can partly take your cost of running the site.

    I run affiliate programs for all my below sites

    Toy Store

    NFL Jersey

    NFL Ticket

    Sarbanes Oxley

    Computer Service and Repair

    It totally depends on what sort of sites you are running. It is pretty easy to find the affiliate programs and enrolling. DP has a section which has most of the famous affiliate programs like amazon, CJ, adsense, YPN etc..

    Those look like you are an affiliate for a company, not the other way around. The first two are Amazon AWS stuff. Didn't bother checking the rest. :rolleyes:

    No network will give you all the right affiliates, you still need to do pro-active recruiting with any network you join. SAS is my favorite network right now. But from what I have seen merchants that launch and do nothing seem to just get lots of low quality lotto and get paid to read email type affiliates that don't send quailty traffic. Now SAS has LOTS of top affiliates that prefer that network, but you need to know how to find them.

    TIPS: to attract good affiliates on SAS is you need to sign up for auto deposit or the good ones wont join. Also trying to do what it takes to become a premier merchant helps. You also need to maintain a good EPC.

    Hope this helps and best of luck!
