Affiliate Programs & Resources for Webmasters Updated Aug. 9, 2010
Our Favorite Affiliate Programs RECOMMENDED AFFILIATE PROGRAMS Casale Media We signed up in April 2004. They pay web publishers 70% of their ad revenue, which is the highest I've come across. Casale Media is one of our favorite revenue sources. One of my favorite features is the ability to auto-format your ads to not show "excessive animation," "gambling," or "political," if you choose. The 728 x 90 ad at top of page is from Casale Media. Other ad sizes are available. Note: Your site must have 10,000 unique online visitors per month to be accepted and it must be in English. No adult sites or warez. VibesUp.com- Vibrational therapy products are becoming increasing popular and doing well on metaphysical sites such as ours. I have met Kaitlyn Keyt, the owner and creator of VibesUp.com and was impressed with her own high vibration and gentle ways. I use and wear many of her products. I love them! I signed up for the VibesUp.com affiliate bandwagon as soon as it was available and have been advertising Kaitlyn's entire line of products at AstroStar.com since May 2009. Commission is 15%; then 5% referral sales for affiliates who sign up from your site. VibesUp received the 2008 Visionary Award. Chitika.com I like the back-up ad system they offer, especially if you're also using Google...and who isn't?! I'll be playing around with this throughout the site and return later with more details about the success or failure of this program. The reviews from other web sites have been mostly positive though, which is why I signed up with Chitika.com. ValueClickmedia.com ValueClick Media bought Fastclick in 2006. I didn't like the old Fastclick enough to keep it on this page. But the new operations and accounting of ValueClick seem more finely tuned now. For every ad impression that you serve you know exactly what you will earn. Payments are through PayPal. It's working well to combine Casale Media ads with ValueClick's. As you look around AstroStar.com, you'll see both. AstroStar revenue, since the ValueClick buy-out, has increased about 40%. Refer a publisher to receive 5% commissions on your ad earnings for the 12 months following the referral's sign up. Refer an advertiser and get 5% commission on all their campaign buys for the 12 months following the referral's sign up. For example; if an advertiser you referred bought two $10,000 campaigns, you would get $1000 commission. Note for Advertisers: ValueClick's Invue ad format gets at least a 13% click thru ratio on AstroStar.com... but we use them sparingly and phasing them out because the ads are annoying to us, too. ClickBank The affiliate program is a breeze, one of the easiest to use, sign-up, short code, fast loading, view your live stats, etc. They offer dozens of astrology and metaphysical merchants. For awhile I had this in the NOT RECOMMENDED category, but Clickbank has changed their tracking system. This program used to be better for the advertiser because it didn't always track referrals, but now that they've changed their codes, I recommend it for all affiliates. LinkShare AllPosters Affiliates Program Earn up to 30% of sales. They have over 50,000 poster and art print images. It's easy to sign-up, track your sales, and build links and storefronts. Some months we earn more on our second tier referrals than we do on selling the posters! FriendFinder.com We've used this program successfully since AstroStar first went online in 1997. It's mostly been on our Romantic Realms pages which aren't as high volume as the rest of the site. But FriendFinder has been consistently a good payer while our links are tucked away quietly racking up commissions. So we finally added it here July 2004. Checks are issued monthly with a $50 minimum. ShareaSale This is a very easy affiliate program for web publishers to use. They offer per lead and per sale referral commissions. It's simple, clean, fast-loading. Merchants are rated. We have used this program since April 2003. Our Favorite Webmaster Resources SelfPromotion Terrific free submission service. Pay $15 annually to get the extras. It's worth it.
