    There are many factors which usually affiliates have a look before joining any affiliate program and depending upon those factors they either remain loyal or go to other players in industry.

    So let's discuss which are those factors which you as an affiliate consider most important. I am listing down few factors with its priorities, do let me know what are your views on it?

    * Commission - 1 (highest priority)
    * Product and its pricing - 2
    * Vendor's or merchant's brand or credibility - 3
    * Good and Quick Service from Affiliate Manager/team - 4
    * Good Banners and templates - 5
    * Number of products - 6
    * Good reports from affiliate panel - 7

    Thank you for the reply... What kind of support you usually want? Does that mean if support from affiliate manager is good in providing relevant resources and commission that will be your choice... Product won't matter to you... Let say in pharmacy affiliate programs this is a usually trend, generic pharmacy provides commission of 40% -50% but their products are hardly sold (because people are worried about being fake) and priced very low so that 50% becomes equivalent to 10% of branded medication, whose conversion will also be better.

    Thus i personally feel one should also focus on products along with those factors.
