Affiliate Directory
Definition
A categorized listing of affiliate programs.
Information
Affiliate directories are a popular starting point for finding and comparing
various merchant's programs. The individual networks also provide aggregated information
for their programs, but lack the all-in-one overview of the directories.
Many of the directories provide simple text listings, but a few offer more
advanced search capabilities. Other semi-common features include articles, newsletters,
and forums. A few of the biggest sites could rightfully be called affiliate portals.
There are countless affiliate directories, but only a few differentiate themselves
from the rest. Be careful of directories that are only interested in hyping programs
that make a quick buck for the directory, but offer nothing of lasting value for
your site. A good directory helps you find the programs that are best for your
site and your visitors.
