Hi,

I am looking for the best UK affiliate network for a UK LED bulbs retailer and would appreciate any recommendations as to who at which networks are worth reaching out to and, equally importantly, which networks to avoid like the plague!

All input gratefully received, so thanks in advance.
 


I assume you are going to be using a shopping cart where the total sale can vary and you'll be paying a percentage per sale? If so, you'll want to go with a traditional affiliate network such as Commission Junction (cj.com) or Shareasale (shareasale.com) as they have thousands of affiliates who work on that payment model.
 
Hi MaxSteve,

Yes, that is what we are doing, but I have heard quite mixed reports about CJ and Shareasale and am also concerned about getting good support for the business, to say nothing about the upfront costs these networks look for...
 
Well, thanks for that, but that network promotes dating sites and as I said I am looking for a network for an LED bulbs ecommerce site...
 
Have you tried looking for affiliates OUTSIDE of an affiliate network? It's a ballsy move, but it can work. You can look for an affiliate recruitment service to look and recruit for you.
 
superplatinum: yes, I will be doing that as well but think plugging into a good network will be helpful as well. The trick of iti is to identify the right network...
 
sebastya: thanks for the tip about odigger, which I hadn't come across before. It is very US-centric of course but still a useful looking site. Cheers!
 
Jiujitsu: Webgains is on my currently very short list. Do you know anything about them from a merchant perspective?
 
I prefer ad networks, simliar to affiliates. I am working with reachjunction and some other networks. Making money onine is not that difficult.
 
i just used the affiliate network , I want to know whether there is an affiliate can change the languages, please give advice.
