In my opinion there are no advantages to joining a sub-affiliate network. You are better served by signing up directly with the merchant through CJ or LinkShare. For example, last year NCS was only offering $40 on American Express business cards, while LinkShare will pay you $105. That basically means that NCS makes a $65 profit off of your effort.

The other consideration to make before signing up with a sub-affiliate network is that you don't get paid until after they get paid. For example, if you made a sale for Orchard Bank through CJ, you would be paid on the 20th of the following month. If you were to make that same sale through NCS, you would have to wait until they got paid, and then wait 30 more days for them to cut you a check.

Thank you Jeremy for the explanation!
