Affiliate programs directories
Encyclopedia : A : AF : AFF : Affiliate programs directories
Affiliate program directories are search engines for affiliate programs.
According to James Marciano, who founded Refer-it.com in October 1997 because he could not find one central place for affiliate programs to generate revenue for his site, TheSquare.com. He decided what was needed was a search engine for affiliate programs with ratings and details.
In January 1998, Allan Gardyne started up a one-page associate programs directory. He had hunted in every major search engine for an affiliate program directory and could not find one, so he started his own version. That one-page site officially became AssociatePrograms.com in February 1998.
