What are the top % commissions for each sector (e.g. flights, insurance, shopping..)?

G'day all!

Hope you all had a good Xmas (you'll be glad to hear the weather in Sydney was cr@p!

Anyway, I am looking to improve some of my sites at the moment. These sites are a bit on the amatuerish side with say one page devoted to travel insurance with a descriptive listing of about 10 affiliate merchants.

But with about 20 or so pages of affiliate links ranging from home insurance to DIY, it's increasingly becoming a pain in the @ss updating the pages with merchants going under, playing musical chairs with the networks. So my aim is now to devote each page to just 1-2 merchants rather than 10!

My question to all of you out there: Is there an overall list of merchants (including all networks) that lists top commission paying merchants?

I'm currently don't have time for PPC etc, so just want a list of the top merchants (in terms of commission levels) as currently my pages lists all merchants from 1% through to 20%.

Thanks for your help!

I guess everyone kind of thinks you should
a) do your own research by logging into all the networks and/or using AffiliateBounty and
b) Picking merchants to promote by commission levels alone would be a big mistake and a lazy way of doing things.

Do you have room to promote a clothing website.

Motelrocks.com pays 20% commission and has a conversion rate £46.73, and a conversion rate of 3.2%

We also have a 100% validation record for affiliate sales.

Obviously you should study the conversion rates and other factors but, yes, it is a good idea to focus on the ones with the highest commission rates. No point promoting a merchant paying 3% commission when others in the same sector, with a similar conversion rate, pays 8%.

On some networks you can rank merchants by commission rate or EPC. Then you can focus on the ones ranked highest.

I would recommend you promote Purple Parking as we have increased the commission to the highest of any airport car parking provider on any network (basic tier 10%, up to 15%). eDealsUK, a cashback site, pays 60% residual income, also the highest in its niche. Both these programs are managed by us and we do everything in our power to help affiliates generate the maximum income - each and every affiliate enquiry was responded to within 24 hours over the last two weeks.
