Networks provide merchants with a wide variety of tools which help them create effective campaigns and monitor the successes of these campaigns. Most networks can also offer merchants a large number of affiliates who are currently actively promoting similar sites/brands.
Networks provide a much simpler way for affiliates to sign up to CPA campaigns. Affiliates can browse through a directory of merchants viewing information such as commission levels, average earnings per click, how long the merchant has been with the network etc… It is then possible to sign up to these networks and start promoting them straight away. One of the main advantages is the simplification of having to bill merchants. If you are working with 10 merchants on a single network you will only have to worry about receiving money from one company instead of having to invoice 10 different companies separately.
In the UK, the main affiliate networks include Affiliate Future, Affiliate Window and TradeDoubler. Most networks are free to join for affiliates, but merchants have to pay fees which can stretch well into the thousands of pounds. Affiliate Window requires £5 to open an affiliate account, but this is credited to your account and is paid back as soon as you have earned £20 in commission.
