so what is best all round affiliate partner?

[Pred]

Hi Guys,
apart from going direct to a company affiliate, as just gets too much paperwork to have too many affilates with too many firms, what is the best all round multiple affiliate provider.
i've looked over this section and threads and cant really see a clear faqvourite

i tried affiliate future and whilst i found their site easy to use and they have a lot of affiliates, the fact i never received 1 penny over a long period of time on a few sites makes me believe the tracking is wrong or is simply not managed right along with fact thier affiliates seem to fall by the wayside daily. so they are a big no-no imho

so which is the best one acorn members swear by, for all round ease of use, number of affiliates and trustworthy payouts???

grateful for any advice as i have a few travel affiliates im with but need a broad range really of affiliates
thanks

Amazon convert traffic very well, probably as good as anyone but they only give a 24 hour cookie. I also use affiliatewindow for the mass/general umbrella affiliate programs.

Big fan of affiliate window, though have an account with most of the other affiliate networks as well.

AW's interface is pretty good and many of the high street brands have an account there with quite a few moving from others. Only ones really lacking from there are certain niches e.g finance & supermarkets (congregate at buy.at)

I'm making bugger all from parking or affiliate feeds lately.

Is the credit crunch stopping people shopping online or is it that Google is ranking parked / affiliate sites lower in your experiences?

I'm noticing the same. The christmas 'rush' just isn't there and ctr is lower than expected even for heatmapped sites. Saying that I've only a couple of shops currently using the feed application I've developed. Focussing on high commission products is better as well.

Affiliate Window and Buy.at are my favourites. Affiliate Window probably has the best interface and technology.

Affiliate Window definately gets my vote, had accounts with most of the major networks for about 5 years and AW has been top of my list for the 5 years !

I use most, my biggest bug bear with buy.at is if you use a product feed they never tell you if the file is updated so unless you check your site regulary you end up with out of date links or prices. Have recommended a few times that they email when updated but no.
