Merchants can run an affiliate program where you decide the commission to pay and only pay for results so it can be extremely powerful. Note Affiliate Networks just provide a tracking / payment platform and for any affiliate program to get off the ground involves reaching out to partners in your niche with high traffic websites or large databases and getting them to promote your product. That is why any successful affiliate program needs an Affiliate Manager or Outsourced Program Manager (OPM) to recruit affiliates and encourage the influencers in your niche market or the large affiliates / publishers to promote your offer to their databases and to their followers. It is also essential to maintain an Affiliate Newsletter and have regular communications like making a calendar of promotions to keep sending to affiliates to promote. You also need someone who knows what they are doing to reguarly approve and communicate with affiliates and setup the program with the right agreement and put rules in place to prevent rogue affiliates like trademark bidders and malware / adware / toolbars etc highjacking your program.
