We tried TradeDoubler a while ago and was not impressed at all. But for products aimed at the consumer market it might be better, we aim at small and medium sized businesses. We found that websites in the network did not have a suitable audience, mostly personal homepages, and fraud was also a problem. Google AdWords works much better. Im surprised.
