There are currently only 2 affiliate networks that operate in South Africa. They are Traffic Synergy and Offerforge. Links to their sites are in the top right hand corner of the blog.

Because of the lack of Merchants here in SA both work with some of the same online stores which is a bit frustrating. But on a brighter note they also offer different campaigns. Off the top of my head between the 2 networks there can’t be more than 40 affiliate programs to promote.

This is not the networks fault, I think alot of South African companies do not understand affiliate marketing and do not realise the full potential off it. Maybe one day they will wake up – lol.

What also tends to happen is new merchants come online, and within 2 or 3 months the pull the plug on their campaign. This is very frustrating and its happened to me many times. So my advice to you is before you put alot of work in to building a website around a merchants product, make sure that between the networks there is a similar product to promote or you will be left with a site and nothing to promote.
