Commission Junction (CJ) is a strong network with a lot of high-end merchants to choose from. We would use it more if they offered some better product and deal feed options, and the reporting system wasn't so confusing (seriously, who designed that thing?). The programs aren't as clean as SAS, but not as shady as some claim LS to be. But we have heard about CJ cracking down on people who get traffic to affiliate pages using PPC ads (arbitrage) and banning accounts with little or no warning.

ValueClick Media Review
ValueClick Media is the resulting network of the acquisition of Fastclick by Valueclick in late 2005. This new combined network combines the best part of Fastclick, namely their impressive publisher interface and statistics, and Valueclick, which was their large international media selling team.
ValueClick Media currently represent the pick of the independent online publishers due to their great support and service, as well as decent payouts ($0.50+ eCPM for banners/skyscrapers and $3.00+ eCPM for pop-unders). They always answer any questions promptly and politely, and most importantly pay on time every time, on the 20th of the month following you earning the revenue (NET 20).
They offer one of the widest options of advertisement types of any network, ranging from traditional banners and skyscrapers to the larger modern standards, pop-unders. Most interestingly, they have recently introduced an interstitial, which is a full page ad displayed for 10 seconds when a linked is clicked before forwarding the user onto the next page. This is a very useful addition for sites with long, multipage articles, as they are finally able to monetize the article as a whole in a similar way to magazines showing ads between pages.
The interface gained from the acquisition of Fastclick is also the best available, as it gives some great graphically represented real-time statistics, and lets you (de)select each campaign individually. The eCPM is shown for each campaign, as well as a number of other things, although this lets you compare all campaigns (CPC and CPM) on how well they are performing for you personally. This means that you can deselect the worst performing campaigns and make use of ValueClick's industry leading defaults manager, so you can send your remaining traffic to any number of other ad networks. They have even recently released floating defaults which allow you to set up default campaigns which are put into rotation at a set eCPM, so working as a real campaign.
The previous main fault with Fastclick was the amount of flashing 'punch the monkey' and 'you've won' campaigns in rotation. However, since the acquisition by Valueclick, the results of Valueclick's large international sales team has started to come to fruition as there are now an even larger amount of high quality advertisements from reputable companies targeted to numerous international geographic demographics.
Overall, ValueClick Media is a great company to work with, and is a very reliable source of income, constantly improving and adapting to improve their services.

Clickbank Review
Clickbank deals in digitally delivered products for example, downloads, sign-ups, e-books, memberships, etc. Because of this, these commissions are usually high (can be up to 75%) and also conversion is not bad as the buyer gets his product immediately.
Why we mentioned above regarding this network to be good for beginners is because most Clickbank products are marketed on the advertisers’ landing page which does a lot of the pre-selling for you. Pre-selling is a process where you get the potential buyer in the right frame of mind to make that buy and as Clickbank deals with digital goods, a good landing page can get those impulse buyers to convert.
Products: digitally delivered products
Views: Success with Clickbank as with all affiliate marketing depends very much on choosing the right product, targeting the right audience and selling to them well. Clickbank helps in the selling but its important to read through the landing page of the product and make the decision yourself in the shoes of the buyer. Does the landing page make you want to buy the product or report it to the Internet Crime Complaint Center.
There are thousands of products to choose from so take your time and read through and research into what you are marketing.
Payment: check - min USD10 - ClickBank will withhold the first check to be issued from your account until the payable balance contains sales made with 5 or more different credit card numbers, including at least one Visa card, and one MasterCard in order to be eligible to receive a check.

Fabulous Review
Fabulous is a parking service with some fabulous features. They are also a domain registrar, and they have tools to help you manage your entire domain portfolio - even those domains registered elsewhere. Their parking tools are some of the most flexible in the industry, allowing you to park using Roar.com's pay-per-click service or Dark Blue's affiliate program. You can create custom sites with their "Dynamic Generator," which allows you to create custom landing pages for every domain in your portfolio by combining Layout, Color and Relevant Images. Another handy tool is their Auto Optimization engine which picks the best converting configuration (Layout + Color) based on CTR. Fabulous requires that you own at least 50 domains. Their portfolio tools are excellent and highly recommended. Their parking and site creation tools are not quite as user-friendly. Their Fabulous 5.0 service is designed for domain professionals. It is reported to work well with high quality keyword domains. Based in Australia, Fabulous also does better than most for gambling-related domains.

Domain Sponsor Review
Domain Sponsor has been highly praised by most domain professionals. Their system "automatically optimizes" your domains. Domain Sponsor sends out checks quickly and reliably. PayPal payments are now available too.
Domain Sponsor was one of the first PPC parking services that moved to a hybrid pay-per-click / pay-for-performance model. They no longer pay the same amount per click on a keyword - rather they attempt to analyze the "quality" of your traffic. This appears to mean that they want to know if visitors really buy stuff from the sites that they click through to. As of 2008 almost everyone does this.
Domain Sponsor allows you to create a site with custom graphics. You can also set whether the domain rotates between different landing pages or gives peope the same page every time.
Domain Sponsor's "auto optimization" process starts with semantically constructed generic search page that keeps track of what people search for and click on. These links eventually migrate to the main page. The process works quickest for high-traffic domains. You also have the ability to add or remove keywords. The have upgraded their processes several times. It is now possible to get graphic-rich pages that will rotate with the more generic pages for the system to see which pages earn more revenue.
The stats that I get from Domain Sponsor always show fewer visitors than other services show for the same domain. Payouts are competitive, however. Digital-Daycare.com is an example of a Domain Sponsor domain.

Shareasale Review
Shareasale (SAS) is probably the most trusted and respected affiliate network by experienced affiliate marketers. Although it is relatively small, and has less-known merchants, when compared to Linkshare, this network's programs are probably the cleanest in the industry. If you are worried about affiliate parasites and cookie-theft, or getting paid in-full and on-time, this is the network for you. There are some big name brands, as well as many lesser-known brands. Sometimes it is the smaller brands that pay out the highest commissions and convert the highest anyway.

Active Audience Review
ActiveAudience is a second generation domain parking service from the creators of Gold Key. This newer service appears to target owners of larger portfolios and domain professionals with higher-traffic domains. Gold Key and BuyDomains merged some time back to become Name Media. ActiveAudience is built upon the experience of professionals who were involved in both projects.
Their features include:
Don't bother with domains that violate someone's trademark. They are pretty strict about not accepting these domains.
The graphics are crisper than the older Gold Key-style graphics and many of the pages look more professional. The older style pages actually rotate along with these newer pages and more generic (but still attractive) text pages. You have complete control over color schemes and graphic layouts (and whether layouts rotate to maximize cash). We currently recommend this service for people who own more than 50-100 domains. Others can receive most of the benefits by signing-up with Gold Key, which is now essentially a clone of this service.
