Green Affiliate Programs Newsletter - August, 2011

Greetings from the Green Affiliate Programs Network! We hope the first half of 2011 has been treating you well. Here's to a green and productive second half! The Second Quarter for 2011 has seen steady growth in the eco affiliate marketing sectors, and we have several new merchant affiliate programs to tell you about, including three new programs we are currently managing. Considering how lengthy this newsletter is, we will be sending our newsletter out more frequently (rather than quarterly). This one's a doozy! Thanks for subscribing!

New Performance-Based Affiliate Programs

Performance-Based, which is the first and only affiliate network specializing in eco-friendly and LOHAS businesses, has been exceptionally busy this year - so much so, they now have a dedicated forum at ABestWeb.com, which is one of the top affiliate marketing websites and forum communities. No easy feat to say the least, launching a dedicated forum at ABestWeb is a sign that Peformance-Based is experiencing massive growth, not to mention serious about fostering transparent affiliate relations.

Affiliates are encouraged to take part in discussions, leave constructive comments for improvement to the network and keep up-to-date with the latest program announcements.

Below are some of the latest merchants now being hosted at Performance-Based:

GreenAmerica.org - Formerly known as Co-op America, Green America is the largest and oldest not-for-profit dedicated to fostering sustainable consumerism and social justice.

Go Green Solar has reduced their default commission rate from 5% to 3%. Not a wise move (if you ask us), as there are several other merchants offering wind turbine and solar energy supplies such as those resold by GoGreenSolar. However, GoGreenSolar does offer a large collection of hard-to-find energy saving products, such as solar-powered fans and electric car batteries.
