| The
network is also a guarantor in case of
any problems. Under affiliate networks,
any action done by affiliates is tracked
and reports are generated for the use by
both affiliate and merchant. Even the big
players (Disney, Dell, Sony) use a.n.
because of their features. See network
reviews below.
II.
Specialized networks
These
networks gather sites with same topic but
few different (variants of) services,
e.g. Personals sites, where there are
different language and interest sites, to
suit every target group.
See match.com network review
below.
III.
Individual affiliate programs
Are
programs with their own tracking and
reporting solutions. Websites promote
their program for themselves and they
collect all the profit for themselves.
There is no third party involved,
affiliates get paid directly from the
seller of the product/service. Their
products might be great but their
reputation considering affiliate
marketing doesn’t have to be. That’s
why it is smart to find reviews and read
their terms and conditions before
joining.
