Review of Affiliate Marketing Platforms

If you are an online retailer or e-commerce focused company you probably already have or are seriously considering launching an affiliate marketing program. Affiliate marketing is an affordable, low commitment and highly efficient way to increase website traffic and ultimately generate more sales from your website.


As a freelance marketing consultant here in Seattle, WA I am often asked by clients to recommend vendors. Recently I was asked to review affiliate marketing networks that would be good for my client who is a small, e-commerce businesses here in Seattle. They also wanted affiliate marketing program support, help in getting affiliates signed on and assistance with program optimization.


Here is a summary of my review of top affiliate marketing companies:
