Mark's Overall Rating
At some point in your website marketing endeavor, you are going to have to align with an Affiliate or Ad Network in order to find Advertisers looking for related websites to promote their products. The PepperJam Network (PJN) has taken the underlying functions of running an Internet Advertising Network to a new level!
From a Publisher / Affiliate standpoint… I can say that PJN has a wide selection of both advertiser offers and site tools, that are bound to work for just about everyone! From eBay listings to CPA to contextual ads… you are bound to find something that just “works” for your own sites!
Features of The PepperJam Network
When Kris Jones decided he was going to create a better choice for both website Publishers and Advertisers, he drew from his own experience, and what he found was lacking in the marketplace. The result, was a very well rounded for everyone, that has since grown into the #1 Affiliate Marketing Network, as measured by Inc 500!
What can you expect to find in The PepperJam Network?
- Hundreds of Advertisers, Eager to Partner with Publishers!
One of the things I personally find refreshing, are the sheer number of advertisers in the network! To a Publisher, it means I can fill almost all my needs in one central location, versus having to join many different networks to supply content on multiple websites! - Useful Creative Tools to make Publishing Easier!
PepperJam not only brings in top Advertisers, they provide unique creative tools to make publishing those ads easier! From contextual ads, to banners, and product feeds, they have a very well rounded selection of methods you can use to integrate ads into your content. - Reliable Payment and Communication with Managers
The Pepperjam Network pays its Affiliates every 2 weeks once they reach the payment threshold. For Super Affiliates who generate higher volume through the system, they will work on a one to one basis, and do whatever is needed to make sure the Publisher can focus on whats most important, driving sales, versus having the think about managing his relationship with the network!
There are far too many features of the PJN for us to list in this simple review! I encourage everyone to join the Pepperjam Netowrk and see for yourself!

You are too kind with PJN. I’ve waited 6 months to be approved for eBay though PJN and still have not been approved. My eBay earnings have plummeted 99% since the ePN formation at eBay. PJN does respond to my questions very fast, but I have yet to earn a cent through their program. I have a variety of sites, some BANS, some phpBay, one phpOstock powered, and a handful using ReviewAzon. Anything that I send through PJN either through a feed, banner ad or link has yet to produce a cent. I continuously make $$ at Amazon, CJ and AdSense though.

@ James –
Yeah, PJN got handtied from the eBay network when they started dismissing affiliates late last year.
From what I understand, every ePN application that goes through Pepperjam, now has to be scrutinized by both parties to make sure it was not someone who previously had an ePN account, trying to back in through the PJN network.
All said – I still have pretty good luck with PJN offers. Though I agree the ePN earnings have faultered steadily since ePN went inhouse last April.

PepperJam is a great affiliate network…easy to work with and easy to communicate with. You have to apply for their programs individually, but the turnaround time for acceptance is pretty fast, at least that has been my experience.
