We’ve reviewed the brand new text-link network InLinks which has received a lot of buzz lately.
Here is a small excerpt of the review:
“Instead of selling text links in the sidebar and custom snippets at the ends of posts, InLinks sells text links that are placed right inside of the blog posts themselves. This sounds like it operates in much the same way as Kontera ContentLink or IntelliTXT, but the system is actually quite different. Bloggers are given more control and the in-text links are more natural-looking.
Whereas the ads served by Kontera ContentLink results in “pop-up” ads that appear when a site visitor hovers over the advertised link, the InLinks process makes the paid links look as though they were placed there by the blogger in the first place. There is no hovering ad box. This “natural” link provides advertisers with not only the benefits of advertisement and exposure, but there may also be search engine optimization (SEO) benefits as well…”

A review of the affiliate network AdValiant, a Toronto-based CPA network, has been added to the site.
Here is a small excerpt of the review:
“Winner of a Best Affiliate Marketing Campaign award from ad:tech 2007, AdValiant says that its system is set up so that everyone wins. The affiliate managers are trained to maximize the commissions of publishers, because when a publisher makes money, so does AdValiant (and the advertiser as well).
In order to achieve these goals, AdValiant offers a range of unique, exclusive campaigns that are said to offer greater return-on-investment (ROI) and higher payouts. The stat tracking tool operates in real time, so publishers have access to real-time data to better promote the various affiliate campaigns. Depending on the level of performance, AdValiant may also create custom-tailored campaigns for optimal performance and payouts…”

A review of the up-and-coming affiliate network Amped Media has been added to the site.
Here is a small excerpt of the review:
“Amped Media appears to have all the makings of a successful affiliate network. Every publisher is assigned a personal affiliate manager. This affiliate manager acts as a personal point of contact, assisting the publisher with finding the most lucrative and appropriate advertising campaigns. Amped Media also offers several other benefits, like a searchable database of campaigns, a low minimum payment threshold ($25), and a series of useful tools such as a banner rotator.
Boasting 250+ “quality programs at industry leading payouts,” Amped Media has a good variety of different advertising opportunities for publishers to consider. The net-15 payment schedule also appears to ensure that publishers get paid sooner…”

A review of the Hydra Network, one of the more popular affiliate networks, has been added to the site.
Here is a small excerpt of the review:
“The term “hydra” can take on several different meanings, but perhaps one of the best known refers to a Henry Kuttner deity. The supernatural being consists of a multitude of living heads, some human and some alien. While this ghastly image may strike fear in some people, it is perhaps a great metaphor for the business of affiliate networks. That’s partly how Hydra Network came to be.
Collecting the affiliate programs from several different advertisers around the Internet, Hydra Network provides a proverbial one-stop-shop for publishers who want to promote a variety of affiliate products. Hydra offers CPA-based campaigns from a number of sectors, including financial, health, education, insurance, entertainment, and retail. It also guarantees the best payouts in the industry…”

A review of the popular blog ad exchange network Entrecard has been added to the site.
Here is a small excerpt of the review:
“Rather than offering a number of different advertising styles, the Entrecard network specializes in just one ad format: the 125 x 125 square. For each blog that a publisher includes in his or her Entrecard account, a single 125 x 125 ad is uploaded. This ad creative, which is also known as a “card”, can be changed at any time.
There are a number of ways for publishers to earn Entrecard Credits (ECs). These credits, as mentioned earlier, act as the currency within the Entrecard network...”

One of the larger affiliate networks, RocketProfit, has now been reviewed by PublisherSpot.
Here is a small excerpt of the review:
“One of the more noteworthy features at RocketProfit is Rocket Rewards. This is a program that rewards high-performing publishers who achieve certain milestones within any given month. These dollar figures include all money earned through affiliate commissions and through the referral program.
The reward comes in the form of a gift card from a number of different retailers and restaurants, including Barnes and Noble, Home Depot, Gap, Bath and Body Works, Red Lobster, and California Pizza Kitchen. If a publisher earns a total of $5,000 in a month, he or she earns a $25 gift card. This escalates through six levels in all. The largest reward (a $500 gift card) is for earning $100,000 in a single month...”
