I’ve complained about the lack of transparency, or at least communication through blogging, from the networks here before. Of course there’s no immediate ROI in blogging if you’re a network. But, when you realize that many of your affiliates are actively engaged and reading blogs… why wouldn’t you do it? Plus, it’s just good for the soul of your company.

Jonathan (Trust) sent along a helpful note that Performics is now blogging as of today (even though it’s on Typepad…). This is interesting given their recent release of the HouseLinks platform. Comments are open, so it should be interesting to see what sort of back-and-forth develops.

From Larry Adams’ (Affiliate Product Manager) initial post there…

This is the first post on what I hope will become a useful source of information about our technology, our network, and affiliate marketing in general. I’ll be using this forum on an ongoing basis to keep you informed on new product developments and to solicit feedback on how we can continue to improve our platform. Others from the organization will be posting less technical material as well. Stay tuned for more interesting developments in the coming months.

So, here are the (affiliate) networks who are currently and actively blogging and discussing relevant and interesting topics in affiliate marketing…

ShareASale

Kowabunga

Performics

CJ? Linkshare? CPA networks?

Now, if we could just get a network rep or network tech person actively on Twitter…
