Here is a small excerpt of the review:

“Tatto Media, an affiliate-based advertising network, was established in Boston in 2005. As an affiliate or CPA-based advertising network, Tatto pays its publishers based on completed actions of referred visitors. For instance, a visitor to a website must complete a purchase or submit a completed form in order for the referring publisher to receive a commission.

Unlike some other networks that aim to provide the largest number of affiliate offers possible, Tatto Media says that it aims to provide quality over quantity. In this way, it may not necessarily have the most offers of any network, but each offer has presumably been screened for quality.”

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…”

“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…”

“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…”

“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…”

“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 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...”

“Easily one of the largest affiliate networks on the Internet today is Commission Junction. Commonly referred to as CJ.com for short, Commission Junction is home to a wide variety of advertisings, ranging from large corporations to small startups.

This provides publishers with access to a number of different affiliate opportunities, promoting well-known products as well as ones that cater to a very small and specific niche. Instant approval of a publisher application is also a definite plus, especially for beginning publishers who don’t have impressive traffic numbers yet...”

Each review now has a comment box located at the bottom, and only registered members can leave comments. By default, the comments are not shown, but there are links to view the comments at both the very top and bottom of the review which will expand the page to reveal them.

Members can leave comments by simply entering them into the comment box located at the bottom of each review.

Once submitted, the comment will automatically appear with the other comments as seen in the screenshot below.

Additionally, if the member had rated the network, their rating will be displayed with the comment. For example, Tyler voted the network MarketLeverage a 9/10, so a 9 is displayed with his comment. This is done automatically.

If the member did not rate the network, then it will display “Hasn’t Rated Yet” in lieu of a number. If they rate the network later, this will update accordingly.

The addition of member comments to reviews allows readers to get a “fuller picture” of the network by reading experiences left through comments by various members.

PublisherSpot now sports a universal member system which allows visitors to register for a free account which is seamlessly integrated across the entire site including both the forum and blog.

This eliminates any confusion and disorganization caused by requiring separate accounts for different areas of the site.

Furthermore, the universal member system introduces a number of other great new features added to the site which will be introduced throughout the next few blog posts.

This post will give a quick walkthrough to the universal member system.

What Does an Account Get You?

Registering for a free account, which takes literally 15-20 seconds, allows you to:

• Rate Networks
• Comment on Networks
• Post in the Forum
• Comment on Blog Posts

How to Register

First, you will notice a new Control Panel section located at the top right of the site. This section is situated across the entire site, allowing you to access it whenever you require to.

To register an account, simply click on the “Register” link located at the top right. You will then be taken to the registration screen:

Simply fill out all of the fields and you’re done! You will be sent an e-mail confirmation e-mail as well, but do not need to confirm anything.

Using your Account

Within your control panel you can log out at any time, change your password, or edit your name or e-mail address.

When logged in, you can access any of the site’s features. For example, the screenshot below shows a comment being written to a blog post.

This screenshot shows the editing of the forum profile. Again, once logged into your control panel, you will have complete access to any area of the site and not be required to enter in any more information.

Stay tuned in the next few days as we unveil some of the other new features and improvements of PublisherSpot!
