I am somewhat new to the Affiliate space and looking for advice on which networks to AVOID. I've been trying to do research on networks, and all I can find are positive reviews. I have found articles and information on things to look out for, but I am specifically looking for a list of bad networks or campaigns to AVOID. Any companies, offers, or networks to avoid, please help. Any reasoning or explanation would be great. Thanks!

    There are 1000's of companies, its better to look at this from the other direction...

    which companies are best to work with... I have had good experiences with clickbank and adscend media.
  • Hello Olivia

    Why wondering about bad networks? Just stick and work with the good ones. I think your question could be what the best affiliate networks are? Instead of this one.

    Have a great day

    • I agree with you. What networks do you recommend?
    • Okay, so now after doing some research, I'm looking at MLM opportunities. I’ve come across several MLM programs, and trying to figure out which programs to avoid and which I should run. I’ve read many things about scams and don’t want to start off on the wrong foot. Any advice here?

  • I can't answer your question because I haven't tried them all but I can tell you that Commission Junction has worked well for me for many years, as has Linkshare. I've tried a few others but they don't attract the kind of quality advertisers that CJ and Linkshare do.

    • That's hyperbole to the max! No, there aren't thousands of companies...just like there isn't thousands of ways to make money online. Don't use hyperbole.

      @ OP- AVOID CLICKBANK. They've really taken a dive into the deep end over the past few years. They've made it clear that they don't give a damn about their vendors...or affiliates.

      Even their "university" was predatory on their affiliates and vendors, and only exists to funnel more people to create their worthless ebooks. Even the two goons that created the "product" were fakers to the max. In short, CB has been acting like the typical gurus they cracked down on years ago: sucking up as much money as possible while delivering as little as possible.
  • Ok so go for the big names. I like to work with big companies. For example, ad sense from Google or kindle from amazon. I just had a small company tell me that $10 was not the minimum pay out any more. It is $30 now. I have been with them for over 12 years. I just got up to the $10 mark and they change it on me. Well, another small company stole my $100 pay out with the typical excuses. I say, they must really enjoy no pay. Few, if any will tell you this, but I worked for an MLM company and they were mean. Always they were giving vendors excuses. Yeah, to not pay em. Finally, I left the company... I could not take it any more. The FTC investigated them and they had to pay fines - pocket change, need I go on.
