NETWORK UPDATES:

Having put an end to the AdSense Referral program, Google Affiliate Network (GAN) is fully integrated with Google Accounts and already boasting several merchants in the Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability (LOHAS) sector. Many of these were originally in the Performics network and include Arbico Organics, Garden's Alive (excluding New York based affiliates like myself), MicroPlace Social Investing, HebsPro, CO Bigelow Chemists, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, eLightBulbs, and bamboo/cork flooring providers, iFloor and Build Direct. In case you are wondering, online purchases of thousand dollar + orders of bamboo flooring do indeed take place online. One of our partner sites, www.hardwoodbambooflooring.net has converted sales more than once!

If you are not already a member of GAN and don't have an AdSense account (it's free), you must first Apply to open an AdSense Account

If you already have an AdSense account, you can Apply to open a GAN Account HERE

Note: Even if you were previously in the Google Affiliate Network or Performics, the integration time period to sync your account with AdSense is over. You will have to Reapply to GAN. Simply provide your AdSense ID for a fast approval.

PERFORMANCE-BASED NETWORK update:

If you didn't hear already the Performance-Based solar products merchant, SolarSphere, has added a new campaign paying 15% on Build-Your-Own solar power kits. This is one of the only affiliate programs of its kind, carrying a large supply of solar panels and solar power kits.
