Affiliate networks for niche publishers
Most programs are run through a handful of networks. The network decides how you get paid, how long approval takes, and how much of the reporting you actually see. Here is how they compare.
Program terms change frequently. Every record shows a verification status and links to the official program page — always confirm commission, cookie and eligibility with the merchant before you build content around them. Records marked as unverified sample data are placeholders for testing this directory and must not be treated as fact.

Impact
The network most large consumer brands moved to over the last decade. Impact is a partnership platform rather than a classic affiliate marketplace, so each brand runs its own contract, terms and payout schedule inside it.

ShareASale
Now part of Awin, ShareASale is where a large share of small and mid-size merchants list. It is usually the friendliest network for a site that does not have traffic history yet.
