New Affiliate Network PepperJamNETWORK

If you have never heard of PepperJam, they're one of the top internet marketing companies with huge clients such as Jelly Belly, DKNY, and other huge brands. Kris, the owner of the company is literally a genius when it comes to this stuff.

That's why when I got the chance to review their new affiliate network, PepperJamNETWORK, I jumped at the opportunity!

I got to take a look at some of the offers and while the network is not even one day old, they have some really huge names. My objective was to see how they compared to other networks. How would they match up to other affiliate networks such as Azoogleads, HydraMedia, or even Commission Junction?

Here are some preliminary results of offers that I've found in other networks:
1. Flycell Ringtones - Payout: $17 - While you could once get flycell payouts @ $18.50, this has long since gone. The highest I've seen currently is at copeac which is $16.50. So Joining Pepperjam would get you an instant $0.50 raise for doing nothing. Sweet.

2. Go Free Credit - EDIT: This has since changed to $17 payout like all the other networks.

Taking a look at the two offers above seems to present a good pattern, higher payouts. I'm going to check out a few more offers just to verify this pattern.

However, there were some issues that I noticed almost immediately. This payout on Go Free Credit looks great! But... what if I have to do something different to consider it as a sold or accepted lead. Essentially the problem is that every offer I looked at had no details on the requirements to consider a lead as sold. I generally like to know this information right away but I guess you're going to have to email the rep to find more information. Maybe once I'm approved to run an offer I'll get more information on it. I'll be sure to post an update on how long it takes to get accepted.

Another unique thing that I thought was really neat was that PepperJam created some custom "creatives" for offers. Neat! I'm sure with a company with such experience in internet marketing should be able to provide some pretty powerful creatives!

All in all this looks very promising. For any serious affiliate marketer, its no doubt worth it to get in and start using some of their offers. Right now they have around 100 offers with some really big names but I know for sure they will get more advertisers instantly.

Some other major benefits that were quite unique was the features listed below:

- Pepperjam Network introduces pepperjamADS™, which is a first-ever affiliate marketing widget that affiliates can use to serve customized contextual ads from multiple Pepperjam Network advertisers at the same time.
- Pepperjam Network contains a knowledge vault, which is exclusive to Pepperjam affiliates. The vault contains exclusive access to a list of tools and educational resources used by Super Affiliates.

One has to wonder how pepperjamADS will perform. It's a great idea and I'll be testing it out as soon as I can.

The other really cool thing is the knowledge vault which essentially is some affiliate links to some programs. Smart. If I had an affiliate network I would do that too but I'd at least cover up the direct tracking links (you can see the top one goes directly through a CJ.com tracking link hahahaha).

The second part of the knowledge base is essentially a list of super affiliate blogs. Some of the super affiliates listed include: Shoemoney, Super Affiliate Mindset, Zac Johnson, Earners Forum, and CPA Affiliates. I want to get on this list one day! All in all, the resource center really isn't all that useful unless you're just starting in the industry and have never read these blogs before.
