Merchants with Affiliate Programs

Looking for merchants with affiliate programs? There are products and services that can be found for every category and product type. You simply pick the type of products that will work well with your website, search what merchants offer that product or service and then apply! Depending on the merchant, some will automatically approve you or some will require a review of your website. It is best to have your website fully operational and all the hyperlinks checked before beginning the application process.

Becoming an affiliate advertiser - Once you have decided you want to become an affiliate you need to join an affiliate marketing group. For example if you join Commission Junction there are thousands of companies available that you can promote all you need to decide is which affiliate products to promote. The merchants range from high end companies to new just starting out companies. You can search for the merchants in several ways. You can begin your search using the advertiser categories menu, or by using several of the search options they offer.

Commission Junction offers several useful search options to help filter the search results. You can search for advertisers by promotion types, link types, category, by size of advertising banner you want to use, or by your relationship status. Once you have entered how you want the search to be filtered they will then provide you with a list of advertisers that fit that search. You will see in the list the name of the advertiser, a view links option, a view products option and lastly what you will be paid. LinkShare, Shareasale and Pepperjam offer the same type of services. You simple review the category listing for the merchants, choose which category you have an interest in, and the review what merchants are available to promote on your website.
