Comparing and Contrasting Affiliate and CPA Networks

Blogger and affiliate Ian Fernando has created a new site called AFFpinions, which is a sort of directory of affiliate and CPA networks.

Affiliates using the networks are able to submit their candid impressions and opinions of the networks, as well as rating them on five areas: overall, tracking, support, offers, payout.

He posted a funny video where he gets the pitch from a bunch of the networks, and that reminds of the problem he’s solving.

I’ve often heard as affiliates visit the booths of affiliate and CPA networks at conference that they all make the same claims - they’ve got the best payouts, unique offers, etc.

So this site should help clear that up and enable the affiliates themselves to explain the points of differentiation for the various networks.

The only peril is that some might post positive reviews about themselves or negative reviews of the competition. So hopefully, most reviewers identify themselves.

risky venture, as this has been tried before and it was blackballed quickly. This has to be done anonymously from a computer in southern russia :-)

thanks for the plug shawn - I kinda almost have that issue figured out. every time an affiliate leaves an opinion about the network they are not allowed to enter another opinion on that specific network - so it stops users giving favors to a network

look out for affpinions - there is going to be a huge upgrade to it as I would like it to be a social environment for both pubs and networks

Sure gives you a sense for what a conference attendee has to listen to when walking the floor! It's enough to make you hit the blackjack tables.

Good work Ian
