We are excited to announce the launch of Profitistic.com (http://www.profitistic.com), a new affiliate marketing network offering campaigns form the US and the UK.

Profitistic has been launched as a means of allowing online merchants to enter the affiliate marketing industry without having to endure high set-up costs and minimum monthly fees. This is achieved through the abolishment of all costs associated with joining the network, ensuring that all merchant fees are entirely performance-related.

“The rationale behind affiliate marketing should dictate that networks are only paid when a merchants campaign achieves a certain level of success. The current culture of huge set-up costs and high monthly minimums distort this and act as a barrier to entry for many merchants, and we felt this was unjustified. We are aiming our service at those merchants who can offer our affiliates quality campaigns whilst seeking to raise awareness around their brand,” said Dave Bird, affiliate marketing manager of Profitistic.

Affiliates who partner with Profitistic can expect to benefit from this pricing policy through the emergence of fresh and interesting brands into the affiliate marketing channel.

Bird continued, “many of the current networks will accept established brands only, but we are excited by the fact that there are many high-quality, innovative merchants and advertisers who are emerging into the online market and who will be able to benefit from the service of a network as never before. This will, in turn, provide our affiliate partners with a wider range of merchant’s offers to run and the associated revenue benefits’.

Profitistic will offer commissions to affiliates upon the generation of leads, sales, clicks, impressions and other performance metrics. Affiliates will also benefit from reliable tracking technology, fast payouts, and friendly, experienced affiliate managers who will assist in offering advice on maximising affiliate revenues.

Congrats on the launch of your new network Dave. It's always good to have new options and alternatives.

I was unable to find a list of current merchants. Could you direct me to that page?

Thanks and good luck.

I would also like to see a list of merchants.

Also, perhaps it is a language issue, but when I see a program like this use the word "offers" so often, I assume this is really mostly a CPA or lead network. Perhaps you could clarify how many of your 150 "offers" are lead-based versus pay-per-sale. I can also find no mention of datafeeds on your site.

I also note that you pay non-UK affiliates only by PayPal, not by check or direct deposit. That would be a concern for me, as I recently experienced a PayPal account security issue which led me to stop accepting payments via PayPal.

I'm sure others will also ask: Do you allow sub-affiliates? What are your policies regarding parasites, pop-ups, and adware?

I'd like to see policies, terms, conditions, etc. Is this a network without rules?

Thank you all for your feedback and support... it all helps!

@ Mack: All of the terms, conditions and 'rules' can be found at the affiliate application stage, and require a digital signature of acceptance. Maybe it would be good to 'shift' these into a more prominent position, so thank you for the feedback.

@ Mark (& Rematt): Again, thank you for the feedback... it is invaluable at this stage! We have decided to add a list of merchants in response to this request. Initially, we decided not to do this based on keeping some degree of privacy from other networks, but I now think this was the worng decision based on comments received. Expect to see this in the next week or so.

Also, we will flesh out our website to include details of datafeeds (which we DO accept) and highlight that we do not knowingly accept or tolerate parasites in any way.

90% of our current offers are CPA, although over time, we are looking to have more and more CPS merchants on board through offering zero set-up or monthly minimum fees.

Finally, on the subject of payment to our US affiliates, we will be introducing Direct Deposit over the next month or so. We did aim to have this in place in time for our launch, but as usual, the banks weren't quite as efficient as we were! We are keeping all of our affiliates in touch with developments on this as they happen.

So, again, thank you all for the feedback. We will make some changes as suggested to the website, etc over the next few days and then see how things look.
