If anything, though, I would suggest offering more competitive commissions to your more connected bloggers, rather than just screening out the less connected ones. After all, sometimes a blogger is still too new to be very connected, and a good network will help such bloggers become better "affiliate bloggers" :) @Seneschall Szene that's interesting that you test support before sendinga lot of traffic. What a great way to test a network's relationship focus! @KushMoney it is an art, and I think that a properly run blog offers an excellent opportunity to contextually target affiliate ads - which, in theory, should really increase conversions.

I'd generally stay away from networks that care for the whales only, simply because it's bad business and you never know who may be the next highflyer. As Hendry said, nothing against tough preselection, but once they accept an affiliate, support that deserves being called support is a must have for me. I tend to test support before sending huge traffic... if they can't deliver, I won't, too. Good article!

The affiliate network should consider the connectivity of everyone involve from the bloggers to the readers as a community.

Being passionate about the topic and the readers can't be more important. Affiliate programs in the future may screen their affiliates too because most never take action. It is best to work with the best 20% than the rest, but get 80% of the results (The Pareto principle). I can’t agree more about the last paragraph.
