It’s been sometime, 51 days to be exact, since I’ve signed up with Clickbooth - the affiliate publisher network. Although I haven’t used it in this blog, I find it as an affiliate marketplace which offers “something for everyone”. After all, there must be something to it since they seem to be doing well with a monthly turnover of about $25 million!

Clickbooth is a CPA (Cost per Action) based affiliate marketplace. The logic is simple: You refer potential customers, you get paid for the lead.

Here’s a question - If I did a review on the hypothetical affiliate site called “site.com”, and had a link that pointed to http://www.site.com/refer.php?id=XZ89FNOWND909; asking you to signup on that site, what are the chances of you actually clicking it?

My findings have shown me that people are often hesitant to click on affiliate links as such due to two reasons.

1. It looks really weird with the id numbers and so on.
2. People actually figure out it’s an affiliate link and directly go to the site because they just don’t want others earning a buck online.

Affiliate marketing is a million dollar industry and most of the time, affiliates tend to lose a lot of money because of their users not going through their affiliate link.

Pepperjam can probably be called affiliate marketing 2.0! Everything that I’ve heard about their system as being innovative, out-of-the-box, profitable lead me to signup with them a few weeks back to see what the buzz is about. And I should tell you that they have surpassed all my expectations. If you’re hoping to make any money at all by being an affiliate, I recommend that Pepperjam should be your first choice.

Pepperjam is a network which connects advertisers and publishers.
