With new blood maybe more competition will arise making commission rates higher and affiliate satisfaction better. At the moment a lot of affiliates are down in the dumps with the attitudes of some affiliate networks, as they've cornered the market many think affiliates have no other options. We want more options! We definitely need another affiliate Network, the current networks at present seem to have a sense of security and order over all internet affiliates.

I don't really bother looking at my main 5 networks these days. I just can't be bothered looking through them all trying to find merchants. Basically the way I work now is look at a product/category to promote > Look through my current networks for merchants > do a few Google searches around that product > see if they have affili progs and then promote them. At the moment I'm in the process of simplifying my business. I'm seriously reducing my exposure to PPC, clients and site's I work on. The last thing I need now is another network to build up a relationship with and track sales and payments - I just can't be bothered! I completely agree!

Seeing new networks springing up almost every week, all with the same direct track software, the same merchants, no real support, no self billing, you have to ask what is the point? Personally, I don't think we need half of the networks that are currently out there - That would leave plenty of Market competition, and would mean that all networks would have to provide something of value in order to stay in business.

Would you approve more of a monopoly? What's wrong with offering affiliates a choice of programmes to run from many differing sources all with their own policies in areas such as payments!
