    Awin is a far friendlier and easier to use interface, though Partnerize offers a different variety of merchants.

    Likelihood to Recommend
    CJ Affiliate (formerly Commission Junction)
    CJ would be a great place for any publisher looking to monetize their blog or social media accounts. Products that have broad targeting or rely on bargain hunters would perform really well as there are tons of coupon sites and fashion blogs. Niche products would have a harder time growing as they would probably still need to do a lot of outreach.

    • The reporting interface for publishers could be improved to be more user friendly.
    • Contract term special conditions are difficult to find and sometimes not available so this area could be improved.

    My business is able to extract what we need from Partnerize to access and analyse performance data. Once you know what you're doing and where everything is, it's great. There is always room for improvement as the industry evolves and more metrics become available though

    Alternatives Considered
    CJ Affiliate (formerly Commission Junction)
    CJ definitely has the largest pool of publishers and is well built out in terms of features. However, it does appear that they have a lot of dead weight in their pool which is something that their competitors claim they have solved. We ultimately selected CJ because we had previous experience with the platform and wanted to tap into their affiliate pool.
