mThink, publishers of Revenue+Performance magazine, has completed their annual survey of over 20,000 online advertiser, publishers and agencies in the affiliate marketing industry. The survey is done each year, in part to determine which company is the best Affiliate Network of the year. Rakuten LinkShare has won the honors for 2013, which is the third consecutive year they won.
The survey has been done annually for the past six years, and works to recognize the efforts of affiliate networks. Chris Trayhorn, the CEO of mThink, said, “Now in its sixth year, the annual rankings recognize the efforts of affiliate networks to drive successful online campaigns while also providing deeper insight into the pulse of the industry. With Rakuten LinkShare having earned the top spot for the third year in a row, it’s clear the company is dedicated to its global network of advertisers and publishers who consistently and vocally share their vote of confidence.”
In addition to the survey results themselves, the ranking takes input from an external panel of experts throughout the industry. The annual ranking lists the top 20 CPS and CPA performance marketing networks, out of 500+ which are evaluated.
Yaz Lida, CEO of Rakuten LinkShare, said, “Being recognized as the world’s top performance marketing network yet again is both an honor and a challenge that we welcome. While we’re grateful for this award, we’re also aware of our responsibility to maintain our leadership position by continuing to deliver the best tools and services to our thriving community of advertisers and publishers.
Rakuten LinkShare provides their services to help many Fortune 500 clients acquire new customers. Some of their largest clients include J.C. Penney, 1-800-Flowers.com, American Express, Avon Products, and many others. They promote these brands through their network of thousands of affiliate marketers.
