My favorite's Neverblue at NeverblueAds™ Affiliate Network | Home

They have great offers, excellent payouts, top notch support, and a fantastic selection of ad copy (banners, etc) and they also have a super easy to use banner rotation system. The admin system is a breeze to use and very easy to find offers, select copy, do reporting, etc. I give 'em an 11 out of 10!

I'd like to work more with azoogle, but they need to offer more of the features that NeverBlue offers. Plus I find their new admin area very, VERY confusing to navigate. Maybe it's just me, but it's not very intuitive for me at all.

I've heard good things about NeverBlue too.
They also have really nice digs not too far from where I live.
Good culture ... good services.

You doing CPA with them?

If you could also let us know what things the network you like offers you that's helpful to you ... and then, maybe one thing that you think could be improved upon ... that would be very helpful.

You know that the networks will read this thread, so phrase things in a positive way. We're never trying to hurt anyone, just looking for ways to be better and better.

This info will also be really helpful to all the newbies just getting started.

I'm starting to become a huge fan of NetShops. I've only been promoting their products (specialty items mostly) for a short while, but the conversions are good, the datafeeds are excellent, and they have some pretty good stats.

Good to hear Teli. I always thought that one sounded good due to the wide variety of niches, but never hear anyone talk about it so wasn't sure how well they convert.

Netshops is a good one, but really only caters for the home & garden niche. But then you can put that into smaller niches like clocks, mirrors, water fountains, etc.

Netshopsaffiliates just is a network of all their sites. How I see it is that instead of having 1 large home and garden website they have divided their products up into about 80 smaller niches that are all to do with the home & garden and then use the directtrack software to allow others to promote the products from each of their sites.

Thanks John for mentioning NetShops. I've always been intrigued by their program. The thing with small very niche merchant sites like they have is that I think conversions can typically be very high.

One of the programs managed by our 5 Star client PartnerCentric is similar,
but with a wider range of products than just home and garden.

"Niche Retail is a "Low Price Leader" on virtually every product in their network of targeted vertical niche web sites. The Niche Retail affiliate programs include the following: HighChairs.com - GolfTravelBags.com - VictoryWatches.com - ChildCarriers.com - JoggingStroller.com - GolfPushCarts.com - Elite Car Seats - SpareBed.com - Radarsource.com - Suunto Watches.

Niche Retail is in-house on DirectTrack and also on CJ.

Yeah, nice retail is similar to. I am already a member of their program. I did find the conversions on Netshops were alright, but just like any affiliate program you still need to know quite a bit about affiliate marketing before you start seeing any ROI's

Interesting feedback on Neverblue -- been seriously considering them. Think I'll give it a try now. I even contacted them and they were very kind in their response. Thanks!
