Hi Geno,
I’m considering whether to go with CJ or SAS to sell my products.
And your blog post has helped me understand a few points.
Thanks

Yes, Stacey, this would work only for banners in the same category and landing on the same page. They can be different banners, but the landing page for all would have to be the same.

This would definitely be convenient in CJ but would only work for multiple banners that have the same link/category/alternate text, etc. right? (aka different sizes of the same banner)

I think every affiliate network out there has a lot of room for improvement. It is good, however, when the network actually hears you, and implements the changes/suggestions.

I am just starting to see the “merchant” side of things on different networks and must say that SAS beats most of them by the streamlined application and implementation process.

I love the mass upload functionality in SAS. Didn’t know it existed until June.

Yes, Karrine I really appreciate the opportunity to offer my ShareASale affiliates affiliate ID-embedded banners (and other links) right in the approval email, and in every newsletter. I wish CJ had that too.

Alas I have the same time consuming task on CJ. Another banner note … compare CJ and SAS when it come to the ease of inserting banner links and other ‘tags’ within emails to your affiliate partners.

That’s a very cool tool, Gary. Thanks for mentioning it. Email on its way to you.

Allowing multiple manual uploads is definitely pretty slick.

We have an API module that allows creation of ad campaigns in an
automated fashion. Takes some programming, but it’s powerful and being used quite a lot..

Here’s the documentation (with sample usage) for that module:
