Affiliate Marketing Directory 

ClickBank.com
Clickbank is without a doubt, the number one Digital Products Retailer bar none! They have been at this over ten years and each year they have upped the ante and gotten better. They list more products than anyone. They have more vendors and affiliates than anyone and they pay on time. You can join the Clickbank affiliate marketing program and market affiliate products even if you don’t currently have a website.

The only two drawbacks: (1). If you are just starting a new account, they will withhold your first payment until you have a mixture of sales from credit cards, checks and PayPal. They do this to prevent fraud. (2). Their system has a loophole that allows people to purchase products and then seek a refund; essentially, when they exploit this loophole, they get the product for free. Currently, there is no fix for the second drawback. Other than that, check out Clickbank!

PayDotCom.com
PayDotCom.com is the brainchild of the Internet and Affililiate Marketing Machine, Mike Filsaime. I call him the IMM because he never stops! Once you get on his e-mail list, you will receive a constant stream of offers and sales pitches for: new products, joint ventures, memberships, tips, DVDs, Trainings, ebooks and seminars. Mike designed PayDotCom.com as an alternative to Clickbank, but without the restrictions. You can buy or sell both tangible and digital products and earn cash as an Affiliate. Their payments are processed through PayPal.

PayDotCom.com is quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with in Affiliate marketing. They will really impress me as soon as they upgrade their search system for finding affiliate products. The current one will have you searching for days even when you put in the name of the affiliate program you are looking for. Other than that, they are A OK!

ClixGalore.com
I am an affiliate with both ClickBank and PayDotCom.com, but not ClixGalore.com. My reasoning is, too many people that I personally know in the business have done split testing with the exact same product and ads with ClixGalore.com and another affiliate provider and the ClixGalore.com numbers always came back skewed. Meaning, they weren't getiing paid for their efforts through ClixGalore.com but they were geting paid for the same efforts through other affiliate marketing programs.

That was enough for me to say, NO THANKS!” As an affiliate marketer, you work too hard for your money and the last thing you want to experience is lost sales no matter what the reason. Personally until the folks at ClixGalore.com can show me why they fail to produce the same results on split testing I cannot endorse them in no shape, form or fashion.

Click2Sell.eu
Click2Sell.eu, not to be confused with Click2Sell.com, is somewhat of a rather new affiliate startup. As of June 2009, they don’t have a lot of vendors and most of the people who are excited about the company are actually affiliates who get paid a commission if someone signs up under them. Of all the people I personally know who are doing Affiliate Marketing, I know of no one who has made any real money with the Click2Sell.eu program.
