Best "free" gaming affiliate program(s) that don't require micromanagement?!

To preface this, I've used several gaming affiliate programs and they are fine and all, but the problem is they keep constantly taking down the offers and putting up new ones.

There was one affiliate that I could just put the code for their rotating banner up and they'd automatically take care of swapping out the games, I lost touch with them. If someone knows what company it was, I'd appreciate it!

Anybody know of affiliate companies similar to that? Just put up a code/banner and it will automatically rotate/swap it out with other offers when they expire rather than forcing the publisher to take down the offers every month or so and put up new ones.

It seems like all these gaming offers just vanish after a month or so, I get going promoting them and starting to profit then they expire/shut down and I didn't even realize it for days and it harms my business severely.

The affiliate gaming offers must strictly be for "free" games to keep with the theme of my site. If there are any free games with affiliate programs that have been up for months and months I'd also like to know of them.

Is there any good resource to consult on this stuff? I try searching for "best free game affiliate programs" and it's full of a bunch of junk results no matter the search engine.

Thank you for the help!

    You'll find the bigger networks offer banner rotators. Take Peerfly.com, for instance, great rotator with all the bells and whistles you need. What you really need to be doing though is optimizing monetization much more strongly. I'd recommend ad management software for your site (if you run on WP, you'll find a very good one on CodeCanyon.net), with a combination of rotation and specific targeting. Finally, asset building. I cannot even begin to tell you how simple it is to grow your assets in gaming: list, socials, groups, communities, forums, memberships. Your target audience is very active online (savvy, too, so be careful) and display high levels of engagement. When it comes to VM (viral marketing), for instance, here you have one of those audiences that are a dream come true: plenty of big, high-engagement seed platforms (where you plant viral-infused media), coupled with a willingness to take action (social engagement, offers, asset joins, you name it). You probably know most of that, running such a site, but we're on a forum and not everyone will be so well informed. Last bit of advice: look at your competition (since I'm not sure of your exact niche) and follow their monetization to the sources. Once you've done that, search them in Google but filter for "rotator."
