Can anyone provide a perspective on GAN vs. other Affiliate Networks? In your opinion which network is setup to be user friendly while providing both both affiliates and merchants with a high ROI?

Thanks
 


Thanks for taking my post seriously. You have successfully proven that you are not the only person who thinks you're an a$$hole. Congrats

hey now his post was comedy gold.

as for GAN, it's like CommissionJunction. Tons of CPS offers, and little to no support (even less than CJ). Offers typically have individual affiliate managers per company. You'll find a lot of smaller web merchants on GAN. GAN is best compared to CJ really.
 
Google Affiliate Network can be of a great advantage to some but others may say that they have gone on success utilizing Commission Junction and others. Why not have a little research and then you decide what network to do first.
 
Thanks for your responses. CJ is more transparent than Google so i appreciate the feedback.

I run merchants on both GAN and CJ (and linkshare/pepperjam/SAS etc)- CJ is good if you have someone at CJ to manage your account and you pay for all their extra services (they charge for literally anything extra). GAN is better if you just want the tools and backend provided to recruit and manage affiliates yourself.

You look like you manage a lead gen program, which isn't a Google specialty, but be ready on CJ to get a ton of applications without great quality.

Feel free to PM me if you want more specifics, it looks like I'm in a similar vertical as you.
