ShareASale was founded in 2000 and to date has over 2,000 merchant programs hosted on its Affiliate Marketing Network platform. Advertisers who use the ShareASale services include the University of Minnesota, uBid and Bozai Boy of New York. ShareASale is primarily targeting small and mid-size merchants. ShareASale is among the largest U.S. affiliate networks in terms of number of advertisers who are using an affiliate network to manage their affiliate program.
ShareASale's Affiliate Marketing Network is an Adware free network - not accepting any affiliate who used Adware or similar software products to place ads. ShareASale Affiliate Marketing Network’s stance against Adware and other unethical business practices in the affiliate marketing industry was recognized by the industry. The founder Brian Littleton received in August, 2006 the "AFP Fair Practice Award" and in January 2007 the "Affiliate Summit Pinnacle Award" for "Affiliate Marketing Advocate" at the Affiliate Summit West 2007 industry trade show and expo.
There are currently over 2,000 Merchants plugged in to the ShareASale Affiliate Marketing Network. Each of these merchants has a different type of product that they are selling - and each is ready to give webmasters - publishers - a commission on that sale if you bring a customer to them. The idea - and the implementation - are simple.

ShareASales support is quick, professional and timely.
The ShareASale feature set is pretty strong, with complete statistics, affiliate and banner management. The control panel interface is a little fiddley at first, but after some usage becomes extremely easy to use.
ShareASale manages all outgoing affiliate payments, as well as affiliate support.
For publishers and website owners, ShareASale affiliate programs are a breeze to sign up to and if the merchant has setup auto-approve, you can have banners and text links up and running within minutes. A large range of merchant offers exists to choose from and payments are handled promptly and professionaly.
“ShareASale is changing the landscape of affiliate marketing and I think their success is largely due to their focus on relationships with people. They are building lasting relationships on a strong platform of trust, integrity, and personalized service. It’s no wonder their merchants and affiliates are so loyal.”
