Not that all other networks are bad, but there have been numerous instances where you feel like the affiliate manager cares about nothing other than sales numbers. What really blows my mind is when you try to take the time to get a deeper understanding of the brand, and all the affiliate manager does is push for more banner ad placements. Avantlink, overall, just seems to get it. Keep up the good work guys!

I had such a difficult time starting off because my focus was SALES, SALES, SALES. Thanks for the share. I will definitely be back for more of your value.

I also agree with the point that affiliate marketing is bigger than just the raw sales numbers. It’s amazing how things like brand exposure, vocal advocacy from affiliate partners and more so often don’t stack up to “the almighty sales count” number that seems to be the only metric to judge effectiveness.

SEO juice from organic sources not only helps the old Googlgod out but more importantly “branding”. We have had partners in the past that advertised and spent much more then they earned in returns ( a negative ROI perhaps…) why?

Maybe the customer doesn’t make the sale now, or tomorrow or even the next day but in the future they will remember those brands and logos and shop in familiar territories or in your case online stores.

Brands that invest in me, our site and outdoor sports as a whole, understand that I will forever have there back just ask any of my friends, peers or colleagues. Business is business however we all need to grow our bottom lines..

Looking forward to working with you again in the future.
