Review: The CBS Sportsline affiliate program is an offshoot of the very popular CBS Sportsline web site which provides up to date coverage on all of the major sports in North America. As part of the site, CBS has a online shop that sells a very wide variety of licensed merchandise from the NHL, NFL, NBA, MBA and others. In addition to licensed merchandise, you can also sell various gift items, videos, electronic products and even subscriptions to CBS Sportsline memberships and fantasy leagues.

Payout: CBS pays a flat 5% commission rate on all sales, of all merchandise that result from your links. The program is administered by LinkShare which handles both tracking and reporting of commissions. CBS provides a variety of banners for your use, and also allows email and text links directly to individual products. Commissions are paid monthly, once $25 has been accumulated.

Will work best for sites that focus on spectator sports, and target mainly U.S. and Canadian visitors. Although commissions are below average, CBS does provide a professional shopping experience.

The Everlasting Images revenue share program is administered by ConnectCommerce, a third-party affiliate management provider that shows a lot of promise. One of the benefits of working with ConnectCommerce is that you deal directly with them regarding any questions or concerns you have about the program. This should help alleviate the common problem many affiliates have with trying to find the right person to contact at an affiliate merchant if difficulty arises.

Payout: The Everlasting Images affiliate program has been set up to pay 12% commissions on all sales you refer to their web site. After referring a customer to their site, you will also be eligible for follow-up commissions for a 60 day period. This means that if the visitor you refer returns to Everlasting Images within 60 days of their first visit, and makes a purchase (or additional purchases), you will be credited with the same 12% commission, even if they did not return to your site to follow your link.

Online commission reports are available, detailing, in real-time, product sales you referred and the commissions you have earned. Checks are issued monthly by ConnectCommerce, once $50 in commissions have been reached.
