    Such info is puposely kept secret. There are some paltforms that claim to make such info available at the click of a button, but they simply don't work. However there are ways to find top affiliates for a product. Look for reviews, blogs and videos etc. that are ranking high. Those are usually the top guys.

    On Clickbank they have introduced the JV contract feature where vendors can reach out to potential JVs and affiliates.

      In my own experience, those are very rarely the "top guys".

      I can speak only for the situation at ClickBank, where's the answer's "no": affiliates are entitled to their anonymity.

      If you're wanting (as a vendor?) to identify the top affiliates in your niche, there are some ways of trying, though.

      "Through Google" isn't a great way at all, because that will find you preferentially the ones who depend primarily on search-engine traffic (who obviously tend not to be among the most successful ones) and those who use "sniper-ish approaches" (who tend to do very badly indeed, overall, these days). But more productive ideas, in general, may include finding niche-relevant authority sites, ezines and print media publications from which content-authors can be identified and looked up by their names, rather than from "niche keywords", on Google. I've made some interesting discoveries, that way.

    You won't find them. And I'd drop a network if they published them.

    Example: If I sent 50K uniques daily to an offer, generated, say, $20K a day, and my information was published, I'd be inundated with begging messages and the network may have me swiped out from under them by agents poaching top affiliates. (Those aren't actual figures; just an example).

    So, in a nutshell: this is not the way to find a top affiliate.

      Very good point, there: I'd also be dismayed if an affiliate network published details of my affiliate sales (even under something like a "ClickBank-ID name")!

        I know, right?

        I do seem to remember one network doing this, but it was in the distant past, and the information basically amounted to usernames. A leaderboard situation; I suppose to motivate. It was often easy to tell who was who from the usernames, too. Then, on another network, you had raffles (that the term?) where you'd get your name thrown into the electronic hat for every signup you sent in a given period. This resulted in a forum announcement by this major network of who won each contest. Some names appeared several times on the winner's list; full names given. Not a cracky idea.
