Affiliate Future
One of the newer networks, and this is our favourite. Their site is perhaps not the most advanced, but they more than make up for that in other areas. The people at Affiliate Future are also affiliates themselves, and they are very proactive in changing this business in the UK for the better. A good selection of programs, very fair commissions, and they pay in 2 - 6 weeks!

Buy.at
Buy.at is one of the newer UK affiliate networks, but it has a good selection of advertisers, and an easy to use interface. The main attraction of this network is it's short urls, which are easy to remember for both online and offline use. The staff at Affiliate Future are generally also affiliates. This means they have a great understanding of what you need! Slow payment though at 6 - 10 weeks.

Affiliate Window
Affiliate Window have been around longer than most, and it shows in many ways. The software is superb, tracking is top notch, and the selection of advertisers is great. AWIN (as they are known), have also recently started to pay more quickly than some. Payment in 3 - 8 weeks.

PaidonResults
Perhaps the second newest of the affiliate networks listed, but don't let that fool you. This network is run by perhaps the most successful affiliate the UK has seen. The software is good, the selection of advertisers is approaching the quality of the more established networks, and the support is first class. Our only comment is the time taken to pay affiliates, being 6 - 10 weeks.

DGM
DGM are one of the older affiliate networks (formerly UKAffiliates). They have a good selection of advertisers and offer good support. However, they also pay slowly (6 - 10 weeks), and the software is so slow it is painful at times. It's an absolute must though.

Zanox
Originally a German network, but they've added the UK to their portfolio. Only a small selection of programs, but some that are not available elsewhere, so worth a look. You'll need to get used to thinking about euros on this site, although they pay in pounds. Good support, and payment is no slower than with the slower UK networks.

TradeDoubler
Only Commission Junction in this list has been around longer than Tradedoubler. The list of advertisers is almost too large to go through, which is a good thing, but large networks also get more complicated to use. This network is a must for all affiliates, although it's not one of our favourites. Payment is 3 - 10 weeks depending on advertiser.

Commission Junction
The oldest of all affiliate networks that I know of. There is no doubt that CJ is the king of all networks, but that's also it's down point.  The true UK networks are small enough to offer a good range of support/stats/resources/ease of use. CJ is international, and there's so much to it that you need a day to sit down and get your head around the software!

OMG
One of the newest UK affiliate networks, and one of the few that specialise. OMG concentrate on finance related programs. They don't have as many advertisers as the others, but what they do have covers their sector nicely. If you have a site relating to money, then this is a must.

Afform
A new affiliate network that concentrates on working with affiliates and merchants that are known to perform. Very few programs at present, but the quality of the programs is fantastic.

Advertising.com
Ad,com are campaign based. So the merchants there generally want a set number of sales/actions. This means it has some good advertisers not found elsewhere, but also means the maintenance of adverts takes longer as they change more regularly. You'll sign up in the end, but it's not a priority.
