Lately I have been playing around with a new affiliate network on one of my other sites to test conversion rates, and frankly I am amazed at how well it has converted so far. The site is in the “make money online” niche and I am promoting a toolbar download and one other advertisement which you can find to the right (try to pick it out).
This new network is NeverBlue Ads, which has been around for a while but in the past few months they have been getting much more attention on forums, etc. They offer many programs, quite a few of which I was shocked to see as I had thought that many programs only used in-house affiliate software and then I found them on NeverBlue. For instance there is one program I had been promoting heavily at around $.15/lead since it was so simple to get leads, and on NeverBlue I saw the exact same program, offer, ToS, etc. for $2/lead.
Being the idiot I am sometimes, I decided to try to implement a flash banner on one of my sites which doesn’t support flash, so I was wondering why my conversion rates dropped off. Right after I did that, I noticed that my lowest performing website had suddenly become my main revenue source with a couple of days bringing in $90 by itself.
NeverBlue is one of those networks that truly offers everything, but I feel that the best niches to implement it in are make money online, paid surveys, internet marketing, health/diet, and gaming sites. Especially for make money online sites, I will keep my secrets as to what programs I use, but I can assure you that if you find the right programs your CPM will massively increase, if I could get those kinds of numbers with the traffic I am getting to this blog I would be quite well off. In the past hour I have had 10 visitors to my make money online site, which has generated $11.75 from NeverBlue.
The main difference between NeverBlue and other networks is that you actually get an affiliate manager that cares about your success. I am in near constant contact with my affiliate manager as they offer great insights as to what will convert the best, which programs have the best performance etc. I also loved the fact that there is a screening process where you apply to the program rather than simply being let in like with ClickBank, this lowers the amount of competition and keeps the advertisers paying high commissions while adding a personal touch to it all.

I’d have to say they’re probably my favorite network and I’ve always had great affiliate managers there. In my opinion they’ve got one of the best websites around and their tracking is outstanding.
