  1. Great question! Looking forward to the answers. It’s a question more networks need to brainstorm among their staff.

    I’m very selective about who I allow to advertise on 5 Star and I get a ton of networks that want to, but I usually have a network waiting list.

    One of the qualifying questions I ask is “what sets your network apart?” Most networks I talk to either don’t have a very good answer or it’s the same thing as everyone else says.

    Its funny because a LOT of network owners and bigwigs read Ad Hustler. Come on in and claim your free ad…but you better have something that makes your affiliate
    network DIFFERENT!

    Don’t be scurrrred…

    I ain’t scurred (and props to Josh for being the first). It’s the people Mr Hustle. Every network has access to the same offers and can accommodate most requests – the only differentiator is who you work with, do they hustle for you, give sound advice, are they trust worthy, are they available when you need them? I also like to think having sweet shwag at the shows help too…but hey, I’m biased. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    @E – That was more than one sentence but i’ll give you props for having the balls to write something…even though girls shouldn’t have balls… ๐Ÿ™‚

  5. What makes motive unique? We built and own our technology, not many can say that. There are so many “networks” out there mainly because of a low barrier to entry, just license a system and go, in my option that’s not good enough these days. There is no doubt that it would have been easier and initially more profitable for us to follow the trend and license a system, but we were focused on long term growth and saw technology as one of the things that would enable that. Also, our system is not just a pretty affiliate network, there are a ton of critical features that operate behind the scenes from an operational standpoint as well as a client optimization and tools. Most importantly, having a proprietary technology gives us the ability to adapt to the frequent changes in the industry, and customize to meet affiliate and advertiser needs, that is a huge advantage over our competition that has not invested in the technology side of the business.

  6. Integrity โ€“ Guaranteed higher profit margins via server to server tracking & reconciliation of Advertiser counts where all additional leads (falloff) are added into publisher accounts = HIGHER EPC for our publishers.

    Plus, you get to work with a group of highly successful industry veterans (in the space since 1996) capable of providing you with unsurpassed support, insight and tools to scale your profits.

    It’s time to experience the Globalizer difference.

    That’s it? No more? I delete tons of network promo crap from the comments every week yet when invited only a few post? Weird!

  8. Thank you AdHustler for allowing us networks to post up!

    With that being said, I would like to speak on behalf on everyone here at ECM and give a piece of what makes us different from the rest.

    ECM stands out in our industry because weโ€™re more than a network, weโ€™re a family. When publishers come to us, we genuinely care about growing your business.

    Proprietary tracking is great, but tracking doesnโ€™t grow campaigns. We are one of the only networks in the industry that has the ability to help our affiliates build and grow their campaigns based on our own experience in almost every niche.

    Publishers who run with ECM get the biggest upper hand in the industry due to our custom tools and the unrivaled dedication to your success from every member of our team.

    I know that is more than a sentence but I think the above posts blew that already. =)

    See you all at ASE!

    We have the best tracking in the industry. Our direct track tracking system is second to none. Honest.

    We have exclusive offers, exclusive to only us… and a few select partners, Ok some other networks MAY have access, ok we have the same offers as every one else.

    BUT, we pay more.

    Always we guarentee the highest payouts. By which I mean, I will vaugely use the word guarentee, without qualifing what its guarenteed against…Ok that was a lie, we might not have the highest payout.

    But we have great people. You can bet the farm that someone will always be on the other end of the phone, better make that email, to help you with your payment disputes…Unless we are wrong, in which case you wont hear from us.

    Oh yeah, did I mention you can get a free T shirt.

  10. Effiliate”onlinemonies”Medias – I’ll take a free tshirt for my blog!!! <3333 haha ๐Ÿ˜‰

  11. Hey Effiliate, you hiring? I promise to wipe the makeup off from under my eyes before booth duty…ish.

  12. We don’t have a network per se but we sell products that people love and replenish on a regular basis. That customer is yours once they click through that first time so you can take part in the additional sales as well. We also offer performance bonuses and shortly you can even redeem earnings +10% for GiftCards @1percent

  13. PKM is working around the clock. You can reach me personally at any time day or night. Not many networks are up working at 4-5AM. We charge less for wire fees and are known to send speedy ACH deposits every Monday (not usual Fridays like most networks). No threshold to get paid, better cashflow this way. We’ve got hundreds of offers in popular niches. If downtime happens, we credit you. If we don’t get paid by x advertiser, we pay you any way. No spammy newsletters, only network eMails w/ guides + tips. We show WHERE and HOW to run offers. HOW YOU LUH DAT?

    this is a good idea adhustler. maybe a cool followup would be for pubs to talk about personal experiences / what has stood out to them with specific networks, positive and negative.

  15. We gave away free tracking software. But we don’t have a network any more ๐Ÿ™‚

  16. I dunno, but I’ve been loving Commission Junction because of the performance incentives, exclusive vendors, high payouts…you know: I like them because they were the first to pay me and I stuck with them.

    They’re different because everyone else said no. ๐Ÿ™‚ $20k in sales later, I’m sure they’re not complaining.

  17. Here is what makes Direct Agents stand out:

    On top of the industry minimums of knowledgeable and always available staff, high converting offers, and timely/reliable payments, we set ourselves apart in the following waysโ€ฆ

    -We are a full service agency so all of our deals are direct (no diluted payouts).
    -We focus on representing advertisers exclusively and therefore have a number of AOR clients, which means that the offers are not saturated and there is less competition for traffic.
    -Because we work closely with the actual advertisers, we are able to get custom placements and exclusive assets (landing pages/creative) approved for our affiliates.
