cool info
pepperjamNetwork is yet another one that launched recently
there needs to be an affiliate manager code of honor where they will direct their affiliates to the company with the best paying offer for the same landing page
It just seems like paying a different amount for your underwear at walmart depending on which register you check out at. Poor metaphor but you get the point.
my 2 cents from the affiliate side.

Sure, but Wal-Mart isn’t going to tell you to go to KMart or Target b/c they have cheaper prices on underwear. Same applies for the CPA networks.
You’ve got to either watch the Sunday coupons or walk the aisles to know where the cheapest underwear in town can be found and you’ve got to shop around the different CPA networks to find the best payouts, creatives and landing pages (those can differ from network to network as well).

I don’t have to leave my house to view the different affiliate offers is why I compared the different prices to checking out at different aisles, or I wouldn’t have to leave the store, just look around.
Like I said, bad metaphor.
However the cashier will many times tell you if there is a coupon in the paper to get the underwear cheaper that day. In that case a $7 walmart worker has more integrity than most affiliate managers.
