Whats Your Favorite Affiliate Network? (49)
I'm curious too see which network the STM community prefers.
PS: I was only able to add 10 networks so if your favorite network is missing leave a post 
Also if you want to leave a review/feedback about a network your welcome. But no network bashing please ;-)
W4 FTW!
Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.
My favorite network depends on who has a certain offer I want to run direct. Unless they have a super kick ass affiliate manager that I got teh respect for. The more exclusive offers the better.
So far the only Aff Network I like is Neverblue and for coreg GT and SP =)
I see a lot of people like Neverblue a lot and I always like to hear what they really like about a network. They seem to be favorite besides us and I was wondering what does everyone like about NB that we don't do or could do? I know they have their own custom platform which is very nice and we're working on that for sure which is part of a larger project. What else does NB do very well that people like? And how did you get started with them first?

What do you like about exclusive offers? What specifically do you mean by that and what's good about it? I mean for me I could care less how many networks had the deal I wanted to run all that doesn't matter to me at all. Do you mean they just have deals no other network has that you have access to? If that were the case I'd think all the big networks would have that we definitely do. With that said as an affiliate wouldn't you want to join all networks so you had access to their "exclusives"? I'm just trying to comprehend more what specifically people want in exclusive offers and how we make sure we're living up to that.
Our approach with payouts is basically as a negotiator between you and the advertiser. They want volume and you want more payout so you can pay more for traffic and increase you volume right? So that's how I teach our AM's to work the conversation back and forth so everyone can make as much as possible. Do you think this is a good approach on the payout side of things how can we improve it?
As far as who you started with we're actually inventing some technology that I think will make us the defacto standard for every affiliate to start with. But I can't change that anyone started with them that's already started. 
Again I appreciate all the feedback and just trying to see how we can add even more Value to your businesses that we're not already. Please keep the feedback coming.
#1 - MobAff
Cause Alex is a great guy, a bit angry though...
From the list above: NeverBlue
Primary for their tracking platform.
I'm trying to build my network exactly how I always wanted my networks that I worked with to be.
1. Bring in solid offers that are going to be around more than a few weeks and have room to scale
2. Help my affiliates as much as I can with training and access to ask any questions or brainstorm
3. Keep it private to ensure a level of trust that if you blow something up it won't get posted to 1000s of affs
4. Start with a high payout so you don't have to hunt your AM for a bump before even testing
5. Knowledgable AMs that help you understand your business
With that said I noticed it doesn't matter what the network is, its the people behind it. Here are my favorite AM/Networks :
Jason from Ads4Dough - Always flexible has helped scale when margins and floating capital were tight. Always gives general business advice and helps see the bigger picture.
Eleah - Formerly at AKMG and now at Adsimilis. Single handedly helped me find solid exclusive offers through the ups and downs of Facebooks ever changing TOS policies.
Sarah J. - Even though WebTraffic2Go is no longer around she is still just as approachable as ever and willing to find a way to work together.
Fraser from Mundo - I really appreciate having an AM who gets what makes offers ticks and ways to help improve quality and longevity of your campaigns.
Never mind
Some affiliate managers are just insanely good compared to others. I was running xx,xxx/day profit when I thought it would be a great idea to go on a weekend getaway to a farm house (no phone or internet). A few hours after I left for the trip the offer went down. My affiliate manager called up t202 and asked them to change my links with another relevant offer. He saved me around $20,000. That's the kind of shit that I'll be loyal for.

But it's also the most important part...if you throw high numbers in this business you have to be confident that you are are working with someone that understands you and the way you're working...
don't trust anyone in this business..until they prove themselves ;-) sounds harsh but thats my opinion

looks like we have to clear winners here..keep the votes coming!
I'll assume all of the "other" votes are for us 
.
It think i'll try a new affiliate network,
in fact i have these issues at the moment:
neverblue
lately on many different offers i have far more than the "allowed" 10% click discrepancy between traffic sent and their statistics (sometimes even more than 30%). When i contacted my (european) Affiliate manager he replied "The max allowed discrepancy within the industry is most of the time around the 10%" but no further info or explanation were given.
peerfly
the real CR of their offers is totally different from what they say. For example an offer you want to test displays an average conversion rate of 60%, and you get a CR of 6%
I think EWA's great, been trying to get into A4D but my AM is difficult to get a hold of.
^^ Mine never got back to me lol
I'm always here, let me know who your AM is and I'll get it handled. This week we're pretty much closed just FYI. Will all be back in full force on Monday.
clickbooth, and neverblue for easy pasting of pixels.
i like c2m, except with the new upgrades to their cakemarketing platform, need to paste https pixels from time to time
and not all traffic networks have this.
ewanetwork, c2m, neverblue, clickbooth, have always paid on time.
quick mention of Convert2Media, C2M. I was in China for 3 months. Needed the monies to be wired to my
China account, Jeannette from accounting quick responses gave me confidence the wires had been made.
Personally, I am quite happy with Adsimilis, EWA and Neverblue.
Adsimilis has got somes solid smackers.. Very helpful ( and beautiful ) affiliate managers too..
love this thread. for me, I am impressed with network representatives who take the time to answer and help. And in the STM community, a good gauge is this:
not an affiliate of Ads4Dough yet, but will apply to Ads4Dough if they will have me.
Hopefully after I master PPV, I will get the chance to get into mobile and work with MofAff too
A4d, c2m, mobaff
c2m & a4d
jason & mike have been really helpful
Damn NB edging us out by 1 vote
Keep in mind this is before the recent events/news .

My favorite and the one voted for is - Adsimilis.
Alex, my AM is a great guy. I am member of 3-4 networks but my experience with Adsimilis is awesome.
Just to quote an incident- A big amount of mine had to be transferred to my account. I was under impression that it was already done. Later talking to Alex i found that my information was incomplete. Quickly i updated my information and Alex worked with Sean to transfer it immediately without making me wait for a cycle.
From Europe to India the amount was there in same day in my account. I opened my account in evening and it was a pleasant surprise. Sean and Alex really pitched in for me to get it done .........marvellous.
On offers- Alex is just amazing with his knowledge and advices. On Affiliate comfort .....Sean is amazing and a very good support for his AM's.
love adsimilis
Ads4Dough is by far one of my favorite networks. There is no BS, Awesome affiliate managers and they don't hate on other aff networks.
Also Profit Kings Media is another favorite. The owner is a boss. If an advertiser is not happy with your leads and refuses to pay, PKM will take the loss and still pay you. The owner is always there to help. I never talked with my aff manager in PKM. I do all of my business talk with the owner who always replies and never leaves me hanging.
Also Clickbooth. Aff managers always do their best to get you rolling, they give you pay bumps without you having to ask and they are always online.
Those are my top three <3 <3 <3 <3

THANKS for the help!

edit, found you on skype...
for anyone else reading -> the reason I couldn't get a hold of my AM is because he isn't with A4D anymore. Jason sorted it out super fast
Is it in Ads4Dough plans to add Payoneer as payment option ?
It would be great to have Payoneer payments also for Neverblue and EWA
Time to add a new network to that list
Payoneer is getting set up on Neverblue as I type! I hope to have more details later this month on when it will be available to all affiliates. PM me for more details on this or any other payment options.
cheers,
Michelle Reid
Network Manager
Neverblue

Neverblue: less than 24h to fix a big payment problem
EWA: 5 working days (and counting) to fix a little payment issue
AAO, C2M, A4D.
Good offers, On-Time payments. KICKASS AMs.
Adsimilis is my favourite over the past 6 months - great offers, pay on time and a helpful AM (Alex).
I've run out of appropriate offers for CPA Trend at the moment but I'll be looking to use them again very soon. Again great for keeping to payment agreements, very helpful AM (Andrew) and some good offers. I'd like them even more if they could move on from Cake one day!
Thanks Mike. Curious why you think we'd be better if we moved away from Cake? We moved to Cake from HasOffers last may after demo'ing with the major platforms and found that Cake was the best platform. There's some quirks with it from the affiliate end, and on the admin end, but overall it's a great platform. Would love to hear your thoughts.

I know StackMan will have some exciting news to announce over the next couple weeks as well

I don't want this to come off as a bitch post. People are asking why not cake, so these are a few of my reasons. None of them are deal breakers or anything since I don't spend too much time using it and can get done what I need done. I do think there is a lot of room to improve it though.
I don't like how it behaves like a flash site, sluggish, clunky and everything is displayed in modal windows. The magnifying glass previews seem to get stuck open. It would be nice to be able to open various offers in new tabs.
I don't like when looking for offers I have to view them in pages of 30 results or whatever, sucks if there are a lot to look through. Why can't I display all in one page? Would help to be able to search with CMD+F.
The country selector thing is great except that it doesn't seem to do what it should do. I'm not sure what it does but it doesn't filter by country which would be awesome if it did. The flags on the offers rarely seem to match the actual counties.
I can't find a way to set a global postback, myself. I just have my AM do it for me.
Just my opinions, some people may like it just how it is.
