Networks
There are so many networks out there. I’m only going to recommend those that I’ve tried personally, or those with near unanimous praise.
CPA
Adsimilis – If you’re sick of networks posturing over who has the biggest grapefruits or the dopest bling, then sign up with Adsimilis. They ‘get’ the affiliate mindset, without adopting it for themselves.
A4D – Led by Jason Akatiff, A4D is one of the most highly regarded affiliate networks in the business. You’ll be tough pressed to find a bad word said about them.
Convert2Media – Recognized by 500 INC. as one of the fastest growing companies in America.
Neverblue – Tons of great mobile offers, and one of the rare few genuinely ‘international’ networks. Made my first ever CPA commission with Neverblue. *le sniffle*
Above All Offers – If Eli Aloisi puts even half the time in to his network as he did with the BlueHat blog, this has to be worth joining.
F5 Media – Founded by the same guys who brought you the STM Forum, F5 packs a bunch of strong dating offers.
Monetise – Promising network with a heavy slant towards UK offers.
Peerfly – Strong industry following, popular launch pad network for beginners.
Incent.ly – Owned by Peerfly, dedicated to incentive traffic.
Mundo Media – I haven’t tried them, but I’ve heard good reviews. Mobile seems to be their specialty?
Ploose – Good for adult dating and hookup offers.
Cupid – Vast selection of dating offers from Cupid.
People Meet – Home to the People Meet brand. Excellent converters.
Date Connected – Another direct dating/hookup merchant, home to JustHookup. Can you guess which niche I work in?
Traditional
CJ – Known for its shoddy treatment of affiliates, but with so many good offers, you’ll want to join regardless.
ShareASale – Much respected Chicago-based network. Large selection of boutique CPS offers.
LinkShare – Another colossal network. Better support than CJ.
ClickBank – Where many an affiliate marketer sold his first shining turd. Sketchy digital products galore. They have the audacity to start deducting commissions through ‘admin fees’, which will piss you off.
Amazon Affiliates – Underrated by CPA affiliates, overrated by everybody else.
Google Affiliate Network – Boo the irony.
Mobile
OfferMobi – One of the leading mobile performance networks.
Revived Media – Created by the prolific IMGrind team. Dedicated mobile network with great reviews.
KissMyAds – Mobile affiliate network. Regrettable name for the dinner table?
Linking Mobile – UK based, recommended to me. I haven’t tried them.
Conferences and Meetups
Affiliate Summit – The premier affiliate marketing conference, where affiliates convene to talk shop and party in strip clubs (or drown in sausage).
A4U Expo – Popular performance marketing conference, especially in Europe. A bit suity.
ad:tech – Digital marketing conferences scattered all around the globe. Very suity.
LeadsCon – Vegas/NYC based event dedicated to lead generation.
AM Days – Specialised conference for the management of affiliate programs (aka, how to deal with unprofessional slackers in their underpants).
Self-Serve Traffic Sources
Below is a relatively small selection of traffic sources that I can personally recommend. For a more comprehensive list, see this sprawlingbookmark cert on 3things.
Search
Google AdWords – Still the King of search PPC. Not an easy dragon for the affiliate to slay.
Bing Ads – Closest alternative to AdWords. Less booty lashings.
7Search – You’ll need to be on your game to find a converter in here. Only troopers hit the green.
Social
Facebook – Hugely competitive. Potential to make you rich. Quickly.
Twitter Ads – …Good luck.
POF Ads – Target dating users down to the hair color. Saturated but still powerful.
Adly – There’s something I find immensely entertaining about the prospect of affiliates soliciting celebrities for their ads. What’s the worst that could happen?
Cubics Adknowledge – Advertise across a selection of over 1200 Facebook apps.
Contextual
Media Traffic – Good PPV network for single opt-in submits and gaming offers.
TrafficVance – Highest quality PPV traffic in the business. Requires $1000 deposit.
Lead Impact – Good starting point for PPV marketers. Lots of room to scale your campaigns.
DirectCPV – Haven’t tried them but they’re always giving free coupons away. Sign up and make the most?
Display
AdBlade – Self-serve, popular choice for the CPA affiliate (particularly those who dabble in rebills).
50onRed – Intext and display ads available. $500 to get started.
BuySellAds – Buy direct placements on high profile websites. Easy to use. Tough to find the good spots.
Buy Ads – More direct placements.
Pulse360 – CPC-based with lots of high quality traffic. Expensive. Won’t work on lower payout offers.
engage:BDR – High quality display traffic that you’ll need some budget for.
SiteScout – Low risk media-buying entry point for affiliates. Suggest you start here.
MochiMedia – Great launch pad for newbie affiliates in the gaming niche.
Ad2Games – Lots of quality gaming traffic. Heavy German influence.
CPM Star – More gaming traffic. Only limited experience with this one, looks decent.
Juicy Ads – Incredibly lenient, self-serve adult dating platform. Cheap. Great for learning the ropes.
Traffic Junky – One of the most popular sources of adult traffic in the world. Big volume. Equal competition.
Exoclick – More adult dating by the bucket load. Probably not *quite* as good quality as TJ, but offset by cheaper traffic.
AdBucks – Don’t be fooled by the minimal interface. This adult display source packs a donkey punch.
Retargeting
AdRoll – Named the #1 Advertising Company by Inc. Magazine. Growing fast, seems to be everywhere. Oh wait…
Retargeter – Renowned for having one of the best customer service teams in the business.
Chango – Specialises in search retargeting rather than site retargeting.
Mobile
AdMob – The daddy of mobile advertising. Now owned by Google.
Leadbolt – Temperamental but popular platform.
InMobi – Lots of traffic, not the best interface for a newbie.
Adfonic – Over 100 billion monthly impressions.
AdModa – Has a useful Campaign Planner to help you avoid desolate markets.
JumpTap – Hit and miss customer service, high quality traffic. Worth sticking with.
Search Marketing Tools
SEOMoz – Powerhouse in the SEO world. Monitors your search and social performance for a good price.
Open Site Explorer – Part of SEOMoz, but free to use. Offers a bird’s eye view of your site’s current standing in relation to competition.
Spyfu – Download your competitor’s profitable keywords (then do your d*** best to find them).
SEO Book Tools – Useful all-in-one resource covering most of the SEO board.
Google AdWords Keyword Tool – Don’t live by this tool, but don’t completely ignore it either. Useful when applied in context.
Forums
Subscription
Stack That Money – My forum of choice for affiliate marketing discussion. I’m a moderator here, and it’s the only forum I post on. This is high-end CPA advice for those who are actively running campaigns. Costs $99/month, worth every penny.
AffPlaybook – Another popular forum, particularly with North American affiliates. This started as a specialist forum for PPV, but it now covers pretty much every avenue for the CPA affiliate. Costs $67/month.
IMGrind – I’ve never seen it. Reports suggest it attacks Internet Marketing from a broader scope and is not aimed directly at the CPA affiliate. Costs $99/month.
The Dojo – New paid addition on the CPA Fix forum. Lifetime access for a one-time payment.
Free
WickedFire – Where the occasional golden nugget can be found buried between tits, ass and Rick Astley. Generally NSFW.
Affiliates4u – Very active forum, heavy European influence. Better place to network with merchants and product owners than it is to find other affiliates.
ABestWeb – Largest affiliate marketing forum in the world, with a heavy corporate slant. Where the utterly blind converge with the suited and booted.
CPA Fix – Mostly focused on CPA marketing, seems to specialise in free traffic sources and generating leads on a budget.
Must-Read Books
The Affiliate Marketing Survival Guide 2013 – Written by yours truly. My uncensored take on where the industry stands in 2013, and most importantly, where your business needs to stand in 2014.
Ca$hvertising – A must-read for any direct response marketer. Golden tips for improving your sales funnel with an emphasis on getting the conversion now.
The Millionaire Fastane – A book of two halves. Skip the preaching first half, but burn the value creation tips of the second half in to your retinas and live by them.
Influence – A seminal classic from Robert Cialdini that many affiliates glow over as the most important book they ever read.
Ogilvy on Advertising – Classic work, now decades old, yet Ogilvy still speaks more sense than most. The lessons of an advertising great.
The Happiness Advantage – Wise words for those whose happiness depends on the next stats refresh.
Thinking, Fast and Slow – A modern classic on understanding people. A skill that pays the bills in this biz.
You Are Not So Smart – Light, fun, breezy read on the many psychological biases and flaws that an affiliate marketer could do untold damage with.
Outsourcing and Delegating
ODesk – Great place to hunt for programmers, designers and virtual assistants.
Easy Outsource – Hit and miss pool of Filipinos for hire. Some golden workers, some… not so much.
Elance – Slightly more expensive, and generally more ‘westernized’. Use Elance to hire specialised writers for your ‘money’ sites.
One Hour Translation – If you are running foreign campaigns, it can be tempting to cut corners with language translation. Don’t do it. Use this site to get your landing pages and creatives translated within the hour.
Guru – Another big cat in the outsourcing world. I’ve never used it.
Fiverr – Seriously, is there anything that can’t be outsourced to Fiverr? This site is like a slap in the face to every freelancer who cherished his hourly rate. Good for us though…
99 Designs – Crowdsource your design work. Pricy but spoils you for choice.
Mailing Software and Tools
AWeber – Popular email marketing tool. Loses points by charging for unsubscribers, still my favourite.
MailChimp – Has a free option up to 2000 subscribers.
OptinSkin – Sends your opt-ins through the roof. Used on this site. Developed by Mr. ViperChill.
Mobile Resources
Inside Mobile Apps – Probably the best resource on mobile app dev.

Mobilizer – Great mobile browser tester, free app.
iMobiTrax – Mobile tracker from the guys behind IMGrind. Looks very impressive.
MobGrind – Useful aggregator for mobile news.

Joomla – Flexible and aesthetically pleasing platform.
Clickthroo – Landing page builder with over 100 templates and split-testing functionality.
600+ places to share your content – Use, don’t abuse!
Research Tools
IMDB Coming Soon – If you like to monetize trends, this is probably the most underrated resource on the planet. Pick a blockbuster movie in the distant future, build your website, eat the traffic.
IMDB Just Announced – Get your first mover’s advantage on.
Google Search Trends – Analyse the latest search trends. You’ll need to act fast if you want to make any money from them.
Google Ad Planner – It’s almost like they want us to advertise with them!
Amazon Future Releases – Drill down your search by categories to find the hottest products coming soon to your niche.
Yahoo Clues Beta – Clues is a pretty good name for it. Data that gives you a headache.

Icon Finder – More arrows and buttons for your landing page than you could ever possibly need.
Ugly Banners Work Better – Oh yes they do. This is a sweet tool for fuglifying your creatives and increasing that all important CTR.

Convertasaurus – Select two calls-to-action and watch them fight to the death. Not sure how accurate but pretty cool?
Browser Shots – Always be testing how your landing pages look in different browsers.
BrowserStack – Best browser tester I’ve found so far. Works for mobile too.

Flippa – Sell websites, buy websites. Flip your god d*** balls for profit if you so wish.
UBot Studio – Beast of an automation machine. Amazing for web scraping and point-and-click task gobbling.

GeoSurf – One of the best proxy tools on the market.
