Wink Starting an internal affiliate network

Hello everyone,

I have enough experience in using several popular affiliate networks:
PaidOnResults,Commission Junction,Trade Doubler,Affiliate Future.

All of them have great advantages - wide data of merchants & affiliates,
long history & good working teams.

But,frankly speaking,I'm not really satisfied with their services as a merchant for the last time.
My company is running several dating sites - & there is a stable decrease of their performance via third part affiliate networks.The main factors of such a decrease are: inflow of affiliates with low traffic ability;
low level of feedback from affiliates;
Even "Featured Merchant" advertising didn't change the situation.
The promotion of our sites via our own PPC brings us more than 60% of traffic.

So we decided to start our own internal affiliate network to perform all our dating sites - so we would pay our outstanding affiliates their commission + that ones,which should go to the third part affiliate network.

I'll be thankful for your comments & advices.
