100% agree with you Allyn. I tried PJN with 5000 impressions and it was more than enough to know what shit they are up with.

@Waizen: Linkshare is even WORSE than PJN. After Ebay and Paypal, Linkshare is the next biggest scam on the internet. Linkshare is owned and operated by Japanese company Rakuten which also owns thief companies like OneCause, FreeCause, etc. Linkshare is one BIG scam to rip off affiliates. Just search around how many sales do not get tracked. Here, check this: http://www.linksteal.com/

I wouldn’t even vouch for any affiliate marketing network at this point of time. Right now, the question is NOT which is the best network. The real question is, which network is the least scumbag?

I just had two of my merchants (Dick’s Sporting Goods and Sports Authority) jump ship away from Linkshare over to Pepperjam. I hadn’t even heard of Pepperjam until they jumped. So, I did a search for Pepperjam and found this blog.

So after reading this blog, I may not even join up…hesitating giving them my social security number.

Anyone have any opinions of Linkshare and and ideas as to why these two merchants may have jumped there?

I love how Kris Jones was the first to respond…

But anyways I can only trust a company up to the point of their integrity. And since Kris Jones was the head of their corporation, he is the image of pepperjam. And Kris Jones has done some shady business dealings and then sold the corporation to GSI Corporation (now TrueAction)

I believe a sell out who doesn’t repay his obligations deserves no recognition as a business leader. (Im taking bets that True Action phases him out of the company entirely)

I think it is a great idea, but don’t know any developers that could do it. I am sure software exists, but that’s way over my head there big brother!

Allyn, I realize this is a post from last year, but this topic came up just yesterday at a hastily called lunch with some NW Indiana tweeps. @kathysipple the original founder of #nwitweetup asked “why can’t someone build an affiliate network for the region?” Some great follow up convo wish you had been there since we just discussed the same.

I’m wondering if anyone has created a template platform to build your own affiliate network. In essence become your own Pepperjam on a hyper local level?
