Today I received the below email in my inbox about the new Google Affiliate Network. I used to be a DoubleClick Performics member, but I couldn't figure out my old password and login, so I reapplied to the new Google Affiliate Network. Hope I get in!
June 30, 2008
We are pleased to introduce Google Affiliate Network . Effective Monday, June 30, 2008, DoubleClick Performics Affiliate will operate as Google Affiliate Network. The integration with Google's brand is a reflection of efforts to quickly assimilate our business and teams, as well as reinforce Google's commitment to the Affiliate channel. Together with our new colleagues at Google we are creating new opportunities for monetization, expansion and innovation in Affiliate Marketing.
Someone clicks the ad on your site... ...buys the advertised product... ...and you receive a commission on the sale.
Within the next couple of weeks you will see some exciting changes to the user interface reflecting the new brand. The platform will continue to be hosted at http://www.connectcommerce.com/, but will eventually migrate to a google.com product url.
As noted in earlier communications, DoubleClick Performics' Search operations are being spun off and sold to a third party. While many advertisers have relationships with both DoubleClick Performics' Affiliate and Search, there have always been separate account teams and product-specific specialists servicing clients' search and affiliate programs. These teams remain intact.
While the formal separation will occur when the Search business is sold, the businesses are functionally separate today.We are proud of what we achieved as Performics and this name change signals a new milestone. Google provides world-class resources and enables us to continue to attract the best talent to support our advertisers and publishers.
Now as part of Google we have an exciting and unprecedented opportunity to advance our industry. We remain committed to ensuring you receive the quality service you have come to expect from us.We appreciate your business and look forward to doing great things together.Sincerely,Chris HengerGroup Product ManagerGoogle Affiliate Network

I also received the email and still I can't understand fully the email. Maybe I will read it again. You shared a lot of tips here and thanks for that ;0
I got the same email, but I can't see much difference between Google Affiliate Network and Google Referrals which they are now "fazing out".
The same principals apply, you web visitor clicks on the link and you only get paid if they make a purchase. Maybe you can shed some light when it's up and running :-) Thanks !
There's a ton of them.
I will definitely be back!
