I've been subscribed to Allen Gardyne's
Associate Programs Newsletter for
about as long as I can remember. It's a great resource for those in in the
process of generating website revenue from affiliate programs and exposes many
(myself included) to new market offerings. Today's newsletter was no different.
Many affiliates (super-affiliates too) utilize
ClickBank - a true success story in the arena
of affiliate marketing. ClickBank fell out of favor with many affiliates (as did
straight CPA affiliate programs) several years back due to the rise of
contextual advertising solutions for Web publishers (e.g. Adsense). It looks
like they may take another hit with a new affiliate network and marketplace
called Click2Sell.
While there are only a few products listed at the moment (and mainly in the
Internet Marketing field) it could be a viable opportunity for vendors with a
deep and robust amount of features including tracking, no set-up fees, and the
ability to sell digital and physical products (and membership sites with
recurring billing).
