those
I

My

Introduction/Personals
Service.
I
was
skeptical
about
this
from
the
start,
but
they
won
me
over
quickly!
I
began
generating
revenue
right
away
and
they
pay
20
percent,
and
you
get
paid
for
renewals.
They
treat
their
partners
like
partners,
not
like
a
free
lunch,
and
they
send
out
checks
very
promptly...Highly
Recommended!
GRADE:
A
- Art
Today
-
This
program
offers
ten
percent
for
all
subscriptions
to
their
clip
art
archive.
The
service
is
excellent
and
sells
itself,
and
the
banners
provided
get
a
good
CTR,
plus
ArtToday
is
willing
to
work
with
their
partners
and
provides
good
feedback
if
problems
or
special
needs
should
arise.
Stats
are
updated
once
a
day.
Checks
are
received
two
weeks
after
the
end
of
each
month.
This
is
perfect
for
clip
art
and
DTP
sites.

While
I
am
not
part
of
their
partner
program,
which
is
run
through
LinkShare,
they
have
directly
sponsored
my
site
for
several
months
now,
and
I
have
been
very
impressed
with
the
way
they
do
business...payments
are
on
time
and
they
provide
constantly
updated
banners
that
are
often
tied
in
with
the
latest
hit
movie.
I
highly
recommend
this
company,
and
their
sister
site,
SwissArmyDepot.com,
as
a
partner.
GRADE:

- Webshots
-
Webshots
offers
Windows
software
to
create
custom
screensavers
and
wallpaper.
The
software
is
shareware
and
they
offer
lots
of
great
free
images
to
download,
covering
various
topics
such
as
animals,
sports,
etc.
Webshots
offers
seven
cents
a
clickthru
(or
a
referral
fee)
and
their
banners
produce
high
click-thru
rates,
which
makes
this
program
a
solid
winner.
Also,
they
pay
every
other
week.
GRADE:
A
- Xara
-
Xara
offers
shareware
that
is
graphic
arts/web
related.
The
banners
get
good
click-through
rates,
but
the
sales
from
this
program
were
only
so-so
when
I
tried
it.
They
pay
20
percent
commision
each
quarter
on
amounts
over
50
dollars,
otherwise
the
amount
is
rolled
over
to
the
next
quarter.
This
program
is
recommended
for
graphics
and
web
development
sites.

I've
heard
bad
things
about
this
company.
Be
careful
before
doing
business
with
them.

Now
that
Amazon
offers
5
percent
on
all
referred
purchases,
plus
15
percent
on
direct
referrals,
this
program
looks
much
more
appealing.
But
experience
shows
that
you
must
integrate
this
program
into
your
site
to
achieve
even
minor
success.

The
name
sounds
like
a
funeral
parlor
to
me,
but
it
is
a
matchmaking
service
that
offers
a
40
percent
commision.
If
you
have
tried
it,
I'd
love
some
feedback
on
this
one.
- beyond.com
-
Beyond.com
offers
computer
hardware
and
software
for
sale
online.
You
must
earn
$75
in
commissions
for
payout.
They
only
pay
once
per
quarter,
and
then
you
may
wait
up
to
45
days
after
a
quarter
ends
to
get
paid.
Against
my
better
judgement
I
tried
this
program,
sending
about
250
well
targeted
visitors
a
day
to
beyond.com
for
over
2
weeks.
After
sending
some
3,000
visitors
to
their
site,
I
earned
a
total
of
$12
in
commissions...you
do
the
math.
They
only
give
a
bare-bones
sales
report
twice
a
month.

Hosting.
I
signed
up
for
this
program
which
promises
ten
dollars
per
domain
name
registration,
but
have
been
terribly
disappointed!
They
apparently
do
not
report
at
all,
and
I
have
not
made
a
cent,
even
after
hundreds
of
thousands
of
exposures(and
thousands
of
click-throughs)
for
their
domain

service.

- BigStar.com
-
BigStar
sells
movies
and
videos.
They
offer
8
percent
on
sales.
They
pay
quarterly
on
amounts
over
$90.
I
was
told
that
they
provide
daily
sales
stats
even
though
I
could
not
find
mention
of
this
on
their
site.
- Booksnow
-
They
seem
to
have
a
good
infrastructure
in
place
to
provide
feedback,
but
sales
were
almost
nonexistent
after
I
sent
over
500
visitors
to
their
site.
Then
I
started
to
target
sellers
more,
but
things
have
not
improved.
The
problem
could
be
the
bookstore
itself.
I
did
receive
a
check...for
$1.50.

This

I
tried

Despite
a
high-profile
banner
at
the

of

page,
this
program
earned
very
little
income,
but
then,
people
don't
visit

This
program
could
work

Not
recommended.
They
insisted
that
I
use
their
banners
as
opposed
to
my
proven
sidebar
links
(which
work
great
for
One-And-Only's
program,
which
is
highly
recommended),
which
means
they
want
their
"partners"
to
do
branding
for
them,
rather
than
really
share
in
the
revenue.
Skip
this,
and
go
with
One-And-Only,
which
has
a
proven
track-record
and
doesn't
tell
you
how
to
design
your
web
site.

I
tried
out
their
partner
program,
but
despite
sending
over
a
hundred
visitors
to
their
site
each
day
I
never
recorded
any
sales
until
I
quite
linking
to
their
site...then
I
had
one
measly
sale.
It
makes
me
wonder
how
they
stay
in
business.
It
also
makes
me
wonder
about
their
reporting...

Claims
to

planet's

store.
They
offer
8
precent
of
gross
revenue
on
their
movies.
They
have
low
prices
and
a
very
attractive
site.
I
was
told
you
can
check
your
sales
stats
on
a
daily
basis,
though
they
don't
mention
that
when
you're
signing
up.
Some
of
the
other
worries
I
had
after
reading
the
contract
were
lessened
after
receiving

reply
from

The
main
drawback
here
is
the

for
2

There
are
two
problems
here...first,
nobody
signed
up.
Second,
if
the
service
stinks
and
they
switch
to
another
ISP,
it
somehow
becomes
my
fault.
I
gave
their

at

one
of
my
pages,
along
with
over
50,000
impressions
of

on
my
sidebar...few
clicks...no

The
stats
are
first

they
seemed
willing
to
work
with
me,
but
unless

it's
