Ask Shawn Collins: Best Auto Merchants

Thanks for visiting the Affiliate Tip blog. Subscribe to my RSS feed or enter your e-mail on the top left to get updates by e-mail.

What companies offer the best auto related merchants in their affiliate programs? I just signed up with LinkShare and Commission Junction, but they don’t seem to have that many automotive merchants.

It all depends on your criteria as to what makes the best affiliate program. There are automotive merchants for various auto-related brands and products across all of the networks.

For instance, a cursory look in the Automotive section in the AffiliateTip.com Directory reveals the following examples:

• Be Free: CARFAX

• CJ: Eastwood Company
• LinkShare: DriveWerks
• Performics: AutoAnything
• Shareasale: DIYAutoparts.com

I am not aware of any one network specializing in automotive merchants, so I would suggest going to your favorite auto sites to check whether they have an affiliate program.

Often, if a company has an affiliate program, they will have a link in their footer that reads: Become an Affiliate or Affiliate Program.
