Best Affiliate Network For Directory Listing Sales?

by Charles Goodnight

So I have created a directory as part of my site network. I have done some sales of listing, but the time to market these listing just doesn't fit into my schedule right now.

The niche is fairly new 5 years old and has huge growth potential (up to 2.5 billion in the next couple of years). I am thinking of a 50/50 split with affiliates for listing sales (I have $50 and $75 per year options).

What I am interested in is your opinions about the major affiliate program sites and which one might be the best for finding affiliates who are interested in marketing business directory listings.

So far I've started looking at the Big 3 (Linkshare,CJ and CB) I'm sure there are plenty of others, but I want to find the right affiliates for this type of product.

As a follow up, would it make more sense to stick with one affiliate program, or use multiple groups to get the most exposure?

Thanks in advance.

    So it's been a week and I've done my due-diligence. As it appears (and maybe I'm wrong) the Big 3 sites aren't great places to find people interested in affiliate marketing directory sales.

    Either that, or there are very few people that have offered that as a product on those site.

    So I'm back and wondering if anyone has any suggestions for finding affiliates to sell listings on my niche directory.

    PS: the people in my niche are competitors and really wouldn't be the best people to approach imo.

      I really can't add any value in this specific area, but with this kind bump I'll acknowledge I'm prolly one of the few on here that truly appreciates your choice of names. And to think.....John Wayne got all the glory for "acting" half of the stuff CG "lived" !!!
