i could be wrong on the PPA term. I have tried all of these affiliates. Linkshare is piece of... they constantly ask me to change password, I change it, then cannot log-in for a few hours, actually it is days. + no sales. Maxbounty...a few click so going thru but no sales. ( limited advertisers. ) CJ. - click going thru but no sales supposedly ??. I am skeptical on them ..recently I had a few sales go thru for mortgage leads and 10 days later they reversed them saying they were unqualified. that's BS if you ask me as I know the industry..almost all are qualified and to notice 10 days later because the lending standards have changed is "cheapo advertiser" to me. CJ has a huge selection . So, I maybe I haven't found the right niche anyone else have success using affiliates with financial websites, if so who would you recommend. ?
It depends on the niche and the traffic. I had sites that people click in the products, but then they don't buy, and i'm no talking to 10 or 20 clicks, i'm talking about hundreds. Normally certain niches for each 1000 clicks 1 convert to a sale. Has in every niche, traffic, big big traffic is the most important thing.
I do a lot of mortgage stuff too, and the bad news is that CJ might be your best bet right now. clixGalore has quite a few financial related offers, so you might want to check them out. Like jonixkonios said... traffic. Tons of it. That is the key.
It might be worth checking out Shareasale also. They do have a few mortgage / debt consol. etc offers. If you want some variety for your site, I run a CPL program for a debit card on Shareasale.
