Which should you choose, what information is relevant, and most importantly, which program will make you the most money?
#1 - Size of commission
The size of the commission is, of course, the single most important factor. While this is an easy factor to compare, the comparison between a fixed commission and revenue share can pose a problem.

What are they likely to buy? The more information you have about your visitors, the better off you’ll be.
# 2 - Compatibility
Equally important is the compatibility between you site and the program. Are your visitors likely to click the ads? Are the likely to buymoncler? Don’t settle for just any affiliate program in your niche, you need to find the best affiliate program available for your site. Visit the site you are advertising, have a look around. Would you shop there? Is it a nice looking, easy manageable site? If you wouldn’t shop there, odds are your visitors won’t either.
# 3 - Recurring commission
A very important, but often forgotten, variable to look at is whether or not the affiliate program offers recurring commission. What this means is: The customer referred by you stays yours for a limited time, or for life. If he or she makes another purchase down the line, you still get commission even though the customer wasn't referred by you that time. If you find a good affiliate program with recurring commission, you do not need to send many customers before it really adds up.
# 4 – Promotional tools etc.
A very good way of further increasing your conversion ratio is to look closely at the promotional tools, banners and potential offers the affiliate program is using to convert the traffic you send. In some niches – gambling in particular - the competition is so hard they have to offer their visitors high bonuses or the like, just to stand a chance of converting them. In cases like this, you would want to promote a program offering good bonuses; otherwise you stand a much lesser chance of sending highly converting traffic.
#5 Payout frequency, type and threshold
If you are running a small site or using many different affiliate programs, you will need to look at the payout threshold AND payout method. See to it that you get your commission within a fair period of time, and that they offer easy and cheap ways of collecting your commission. International checks can, in some countries, be very expensive to cash in. There is no fun in having to pay $10 to cash in a $25 check, now is it? You should take a glance at the frequency of payments as well. Most affiliate programs pay monthly or bi-monthly, but be sure to check it out.
