AzoogleAds is a good, high-quality affiliate network that has been online since 2000, and is based out of Ontario, Canada (although they are opening a New York office). They offer two separate programs for publishers, one based on CPA programs and the other CPM programs. Their primary focus seems to be on CPA (mainly lead based) programs, and for the purpose of this review, this is what I will focus on. Their major selling points are ‘guaranteed highest payouts’, net 15 payment scheme, and ‘fanatical’ support.
Support wise, AzoogleAds are very easy to contact via telephone, e-mail, or instant messenger. When you sign up to be a publisher they assign you a specific manager who you can contact to help choose the best programs for your site. In addition, when you sign up they actually call you in person to verify your information.
AzoogleAds offers publishers roughly 150-200 different programs to choose from in their CPA network. The vast majority of these ads are lead based, many of which are exclusive to this particular network. Many of these programs only require an e-mail address or a zip code to be considered a lead, resulting in high conversion rates. When choosing offers to run on your site, you can either browse through a categorized list or use a search function to find specific programs. Most of the programs offer a wide variety of creatives that you can use for your campaigns. Some of the programs are allowed to be incentivized, and many of the programs offer a co-registration option. The payouts seem to be on par with the industry standards however, they claim to offer ‘guaranteed highest payouts’ so I am sure that if you find a higher payout elsewhere, they will match it. One thing that would be nice to see while choosing what offers to run would be the cross-network EPC’s and clicks-through rates for individual offers…AzoogleAds doesn’t seem to offer this.
AzoogleAds offers pretty much the standard set of reports for offers that you are running. In addition to the standard statistics, they allow you to download your stats in CSV (comma separated value) format for easy import into your favorite spreadsheet program. They also allow you to append your own subid to the affiliate links which can be used to track the statistics for specific links. This comes in handy if you want to promote the same offer across a variety of pages, but want to see how each one of the individual links on different pages are converting.
In order to join AzoogleAds, your website must be published in English.
One nice feature of AzoogleAds is that they offer a rewards program for top performing affiliates. They offer some nice gifts based on various reward levels. The lowest level to receive a prize is $5000/month, something that is most likely difficult for the majority of affiliates to achieve.
One problem that I ran into with AzoogleAds is that their affiliate interface does not function under the Mozilla Firefox web browser. It seems to me a bit questionable that they are not able to get their affiliate panel to work under ALL web browsers. If they cannot get their own affiliate interface to work in Firefox, it makes me wonder if all of their creatives will work properly in this browser.
Overall, they seem to be a good solid network with lots of potential. They offer a nice variety of lead based program which should work well on a plethora of different kinds of sites.
