Buy.At is a UK based affiliate network, boasting over 150 programs from leading merchants such as:

• 3 Mobile
• Carphone Warehouse
• Euroffice
• John Lewis
• La Senza
• Marks & Spencer
• MBNA
  

The user interface is straight forward and easy to navigate. It perhaps seems a little primitive compared to some of the offerings from other affiliate networks but it does what's required of it. It makes it very easy to access product feeds in CSV or XML format, which is a very useful feature.

Another cool thing which I've not seen elsewhere is that they have come up with a cool system to generate short affiliate links. They seem to register a domain name for each of their merchants, and combine that with your user id to create a much shorter affiliate url than other networks provide. Not sure how useful that is, but it's a nice touch.

One limitation is that it seems to allow you to register only one website, which means that if you have plenty of websites, it's not immediately clear to the merchant how you can serve them because you can't tell them the website in particular you want to use their program on. I came up against this problem once, and the support team were quick and efficient in sorting it out for me.

I think payment is only available by cheque at the moment, which is another limitation.

All in all, a decent network with merchants you would want to promote and a useful support team. Find out more by visiting Buy.At
