cobranded non porn affiliate programs?

Greetings, in the past I have only gone with adult porn affilates, I am looking into doing something different with my new site. I am looking for some kind of cobranded non porn affiliate program. All I could find was gaywebsitetools.com that offers something like this, however they don't offer very good cobranding tools. As there is no way to change things like bgcolor, link color, or text color of the cobranded pages. I was wondering if any of you know of programs that offer full cobranded that are non porn. Like selling things such as magizines, travel, books, dvds, ect... If I can't find anything good I will just do porn again. Thanks

I don't know what you mean by co branding. I run websites that sell books off amazon com, and magazines through the publishers who have affiliate programs (WSJ on Commission Junction) or places like magazinecity.com

You can do anything with travel. Just look at a site like www.cheapovegas.com and see how they have implemented affiliate programs on there.

For me, I just build websites based on my own interests. And then I have a little diversity in my day.

cobranding means you sell the service or product and the site visitor has no idea they have left your site.

Well there are many affiliate programs which you import their products and prices into your own site from their live datafeed. If you know some programming, Amazon and eBay let you take all their information and put it on your website any way you like it. (this is an API)

BUt there are premade APIs you can stick on your webpage, and customize it pretty easily. I have a few sites that sell eBay this way.

But ultimately if you buy something from Amazon, the customer lands on Amazon and see they are buying it from their website.... I think it makes sense, since they will be charging them, shipping it and providing all service.

I've used Amazon for five years. Their affiliate program isn't as profitable as it once was, but its the best place to sell books. Everyone seems very comfortable with buying from Amazon - it's known and gives a warm and fuzzy feeling. And your customers typically will go and find additional books, movies or something else to buy so they get the free shipping.

Ya, I saw the amazon program and was not sure how they would proform. Overall, I'm just bouncing ideas around and tring to find out what is out there. I have not decided what kind of income I am going to add to my site yet. Thanks for the input.

Template Monster ... there are quite a few ways to do a site up with them, and all support, sales, etc is handled as though they're a member of your staff.

Also spend some time looking around at Affiliate Hog ... might find a few others there that work like what you're wanting.

Off hand I can't think of too many co-branded affiliate programs that I've come across; other than a flower site I used to be affiliated with. Growerflowers I think it was. You could do things like redirect via sub-domain or full domain. And there was also the normal individual product linking scheme.

For my non-adult sites I basically do a mixture of building topic pages or catalog pages of select individual products from a variety of companies, (Amazon is actually one of my favorites too.) Well and there's ye olde banner and text links too...

Personally, I don't worry if a person knows they're going to end up at another site to make the buy. Actually I prefer it that way -- less people bugging me personally about what they want to order etc...:)

Actually, hahaha I still occassionally get people emailing me about things they want to order...Will I ship to their country, will I accept MO's, paypal, seashells, help me my I lost my download and need a new one...:mental:

I think I may just go with porn again, I have used it, it works well, why fix something that's not broken. One of the main reasons I like co branding is it keeps people on your site, and it gives the apearence of it not being a advertisment. I just find people respond better.

Anyever, thanks for the feedback all. :groovy:
