mThink just came out with their Top 20 affiliate network list and Shareasale, CJ and MediaTrust came out on top. There is some good information about each network that made the grade and this is worth a bookmark for future reference.

The Blue Book Top 20 Performance Marketing Networks

The first 2010 Top 20 ranking of the best performance marketing networks and exchanges comes after a tumultuous six months that have seen some networks driven to the wall and others merged, acquired, refinanced or reorganized. The overall effect has been of a “flight to quality” by many advertisers and publishers, in which reputation, trust and service have counted for more than ever.

The new Top 20 list shows this dynamic in action as bigger networks have become more popular with our readers. Affiliates are choosing larger networks because they want the confidence that they’ll get paid, merchants because they appreciate the advanced fraud prevention systems and technology in which larger networks can invest.
