Value Commerce - Japanese Affiliate Program
So far in Japan one of the best run affiliate programs is operated by Value Commerce . They literally have hundreds of thousands of affiliate products. When I signed up just less than a month ago I actually loved the system since it was bilingual, English & Japanese. The only problem I had was the affiliate URLs. You have to make what is called an “Ad Flight”, this is code that contains ads for a particular theme, or category.
For example I have a few Career related IDN sites.
I can create an Ad Flight called “Career standard banners”. I can set it to contain only 468×60 image ads with the career related affiliate programs I choose. It works like a built in Banner rotation tool.
The amount of margins I’ve seen can range from $5 to $200. It depends on the niche. You can also use the amounts as a guide to see what markets are spending money online. I haven’t put up too many links yet but I think the system is great.
The big problem that people are having is you need a Japan based bank account. I spoke to a Value Commerce employee the other day & they are fully aware of that. The can not offer it right now but people within the company do want to get a solution.
