Affiliate Programms

[Spaiz]

Which casual games affiliate programms you know are the best?

None.
Promoting most casual games mostly leads to people going back to "bigportalarcade.com" and buy the game for 5.95 with a pass or so. ( you are basically offering free advertising ). People won't buy the 20$ version from you, except if you have 100k visitors a day.( you then make up with the volume )

Your best bet in affiliation is to find unportalized products ( titan attacks from puppygames for example ). That's how i reached the top 50 in regnow... ( discarding all "well known" games lead in an instant increase in sales in my case )
Also choose your affiliate systems carefully, avoid Esellerate, focus on regnow, bmt and plimus.
There are still unportalized hidden gems, look carefully, you'll find them!

I just don't get, why they wont buy 20$ via affiliate? Coz there are more cheap ways to get the game such as subscriptions from big portals etc? 100 k a day is a huge bunch of visits...what's your site url?

You can sell games.. look into reflexive's affiliate program. It works. I've sold quite a few games through it.

Here's an example here if you want to take a look at the Reflexive XML feed in action (they have easier to implement methods as well).

What's wrong with Esellerates affiliate program?

My vote goes to Reflexive as well; great selection of games, good affiliate rates, several choices for integration into your web site, real-time and detailed reporting, etc...

Reflexive is great, but all people can find a crack file from internet. The crack file can crack all reflexive's games. I think it is really bad.:(

ArcadeTown has an affiliate program that is very good :)

And they can set redirects so it isn't sending traffic back to bignameportal.com
