Advertising Networks

Many merchants choose to outsource their affiliate program or other type of banner ad campaign to one of the networks. The advantage for the merchant is that the program is run by specialists who already have tracking and billing systems, along with expertise. The advantage to affiliates is that you can find and access numerous programs from a centralized login, application, and reporting system.
Signing up with one or more networks is an excellent way to get started in affiliate marketing.
Typically, a network will present a list of sponsors so that you can choose the most appropriate ones, submit an application, and generate individualized links all in one place. When you first sign up with a network, you will enter your URL and other site information, so applying for individual sponsors just takes one click. Some sponsors automatically approve all applicants, while others will manually review your site beforehand.
All of these networks are completely free for webmasters to join, and they accept sign-ups from almost anywhere in the world.
We strongly suggest using all of the various payment models, and using several different networks to get as many appropriate advertisers as possible.
CPA / Affiliate Ad Networks - These are oriented to paying a commission on product sales, leads, and sign-ups by visitors. CPC Ad Networks - These offer payment rates based on how many times the ads are clicked by visitors.
CPM Ad Networks - These pay according to the number of times each banner ad is displayed to a visitor. (These networks also often offer CPC campaigns.)
Ad Networks For Non-US Audiences - Here are some networks oriented to countries outside the USA.
