Just joined - Affilaite program query

[betonthat]

Hello everybody
I just joined while I am setting my websites, and I wonder if somebody can tell me which affiliate programs are better in terms of marketing materials provided, thinking especially about marketing writeups and content in general, rather than banners and such

Thanks in advance!

A lot of the time you will be better off sending an email to an affiliate manager and let him/her know what you want and the good ones will provide whatever you need.

Not all programs list everything they can or are prepared to do.

Thank you, I was more thinking of getting replies/comments from portal owners based on their experiences, but thanks for teh tip!

My 12 top picks are contained in my article Seven Tips for Choosing an Online Gaming Affiliate Program

I believe that there is a rating tool of some kind that has recently launched here at GPWA. Over time, that will be a good source of data about the affiliate programs as well.

Cheers!

There is a good post on Affiliate Guard Dog regarding the affiliate programs that affiliates prefer in terms of the backend: http://www.affiliateguarddog.com/for...ons-t1261.html

Also, most affiliate programs will help you with custom banners or help you with reviews of their brands if you contact the affiliate managers and ask them. They are usually more than helpful with that type of thing.

Yes, I'd say the first thing you should do is get a relationship started with your affiliate managers.
I get requests a lot for special content, links, and such and while I can't always provide what affiliates ask for various reason, I do my best to chase it up.
Generally what you see in an affiliate program backend is just what is commonly required, but there is probably much more available if you ask your AM.
Also, tell your AM how your going to use the content - we always like to know!

I agree with all of the posts in this thread. It is essencial to start up a relationship with your affiliate manager. Most affiliate programs are very willing to work with their affiliate with what they need. The affiliate programs you join Depend on the niche or your focus in the gaming industry. Once you review the many options you have at your disposition then cross check the ones you are leaning towards, for example with Affiliate Guard Dog.
