Hi Geno,

I’m trying to help a company set-up an affiliate program. I am making a comparative analysis of possible affiliate network to choose. Aside from the attributes you put in here like set-up fee, deposit etc., what other factors should I need to consider in my analysis?

Thanks for the distinction. I’ve been getting into IM just the last six months, so such lines are still a bit blurry to me. Carlen
