With the vast selection of sometimes confusing ad networks now offering Affiliate campaigns, online marketing professionals find comfort in utilizing AvantLink’s traditional cost per sale model of performance based marketing.

Park City, UT (PRWEB) February 19, 2007 — AvantLink.com launched a unique Affiliate Marketing Network in 2005, offering savvy online marketers a secure and efficient environment to promote a specific advertiser segment. This segment utilizes the traditional, cost per sale model of performance based online marketing; and consists of “merchants” offering “product catalogs” or datafeeds. AvantLink is a selective platform where Affiliates and merchants are screened to insure professionalism and ethics remain the cornerstone of the network.

In some of the larger networks there are a lot of rogue and unethical Affiliates continuously stealing traffic and revenue from honest and hard working people
As the Affiliate space grows to offer an expanding array of CPA opportunities, AvantLink’s focus remains targeted on progressive and branded catalog merchants. Traditional catalog-based stores benefit the most from AvantLink’s reputable tool center that includes everything from customizable datafeeds to Affiliate-embedded and dynamic RSS feeds to deal of the day technology.

Affiliates also appreciate the strict cost per sale model and quality-controlled environment. “In some of the larger networks there are a lot of rogue and unethical Affiliates continuously stealing traffic and revenue from honest and hard working people,” says Jesse Hoffman from Outdoor Gear Engine, a top tier Affiliate. “I don’t mind competition but I want assurances that we’re all on a level playing field, and AvantLink brings this to the table. With the level of support I’ve experienced and the powerful tools they offer, AvantLink is my first choice in Affiliate networks,” Hoffman adds.

To preserve productive Affiliate partnerships, AvantLink has committed to:

* Fostering an Affiliate-centric and responsive platform.
* Running a network with emphasis on quality over quantity.
* Offering industry-leading technology free to qualified Affiliates.
* Building a merchant-specific platform; no lead generation or CPA offers.
