It's free and their customer service is great. I had an issue with my sites incentive status and they helped me clear it up in less than 20 minutes all through email. Shareasale is great.

Here is what I like about it as an affiliate program manager: - Pre-screened quality affiliates that add incremental value - Ethical service-driven network - Responsive & helpful support & merchant development teams - Real time transparent tracking - The NEW user interface is excellent! - Ability to upload multiple creatives at a time - Other nifty merchant tools & time saving features - Reporting with useful charts, graphs & a bubble plot! - Actual implementation was rather quick - No need to sign annual contracts - Worth noting again: pre-screened & verified quality affiliates. It is with great pleasure that I highly recommend ShareASale to both merchants and affiliates. ShareASale is a top notch affiliate network.

Mon, 22 Aug 2011 22:19:07 +0000 http://www.affpinions.com/?p=22#comment-504 I have been a faithful affiliate of Shareasale for nearly 9 months without a problem. Drove alot of quality leads and sales, spending all of my commissions on advertising for their merchants. So today, I log into my account to verify my payment for the month. I notice that the payment was rejected and my account was limited without cause or warning. So, I call their company and Bethany, an extremely useless customer service rep, said she would create a ticket and would send it to the managers (who, mind you, aren't there, yet somehow remotely just got done cancelling my payment). I wait a few hours and go to log into my account, and low and behold - I can no longer log in!! So, I call back, and again Bethany remembers me and states that they can do these things without cause or warning, and that these 'managers' would contact me. No matter what the terms of service are, is it not a NORMAL business practice to contact the affiliate (or partner) to tell them something isn't right? I received no emails whatsoever, and STILL haven't heard a peep. Also, this Bethany woman stated they do this to protect the merchant. Funny - alot of merchants would fail to exist without the efforts of affiliates. WE go out and promote for them, saving them advertising expense, time, and find their targeted sales. I am owed in the neighborhood of $2,116.00 - which I am now going to have to litigate to get. Which, I will succeed in getting. BEWARE of this company - Pepperjam is a better affiliate program that actually cares! I have been a faithful affiliate of Shareasale for nearly 9 months without a problem.

They don't explain any of the reasons. Even though they say you can reapply it's BS. Was told I was rejected for a few reasons, they were all corrected, reapplied and basically told my account will continue to be declined? What for? What can I do? What nonsense. No communication. Horrible support, and so far don't stand by their word. Good luck to those that do work with them. Rejections come to easy from them. They don’t explain any of the reasons.

I know that it is just a matter of time. About the concept of the site, I can say that this looks to me fabulous. Like a one stop shop in looking for vendors and also in dealing with payments. It is now premature for me to say about changes I want the site to undergo, I am still in my infancy stage and need to learn from you and from my mistakes. I was thinking in asking about modification in some codes to make things better fitting my site, along with it's preview module. But all together a great help for affiliate program. Thank you.

Quality of affiliates signing up was horrible and never made a single sale despite 6 months of being part of service and having several dozen affiliates. Total waste of money.

My payouts have been better than any other network I work with (the others are CJ & Linkshare). I agree that the interface is not easy to work with but it is being upgraded. Mostly, I love them for their customer support and their willingness to work with affiliates to help us grow and increase our earning potential. I have great experience with SAS.

The ones that tout the company seem a bit contrived and too glowing to be taken seriously.

I realize they are small fish compared to those, but why make their affiliate site impossible to navigate. I don't get paid or any notices from them. I just took down the one advertiser's banner and am trying to get what little money they generated from ShareASale!

They suspended my account as soon as I requested payment from them. I've received hundreds of thousands of dollars in affiliate commission from CJ, LinkShare, BeFree, Google Affiliate Network and some others. ShareASale was the only fraud I have met.

With over 3000 merchants to promote, your niche selection is only limited by your imagination. From an affiliate standpoint the entire team is easily accessible and willing to lend a hand. The network interface may take a little getting used to but they have great features like merchant auto approve, free datafeeds, coupon feeds, make-a-page, widgets, pay-per-call. They take pride in being an adware/parasite free network and have tons of options for reporting and stats too. I have found the tracking to be spot on and actually love that stats update in REAL-TIME! The support is first class! Brian and the crew are always looking to improve SAS by reaching out to merchants and affiliates alike to make the network better. For Merchants I believe they offer one of the most cost effective affiliate solutions around, if you are a merchant I would HIGHLY recommend SAS. In ShareASale I Trust! :) ShareASale is, without question, the best affiliate network!
