Does anyone know if travel industry affiliate programs can pay well? Are there any that can be recommended? Thanks.

Would be interested in an answer to this too as I have a few geo domains I'd like to develop. ty

Ian.com is a HUGE affiliate company that deals with hotels.com and others....tons of stuff to add but I have of yet done it. Would love to see if anyone is using them and post their site.

The only thing is on their TOS you dont get paid until the reservation is complete and the other company (whoever they used gets paid)

Take a look in the "Affiliate" section here at NP and you will see some posts about travel programs.

Be prepared to do a significant amount of development work. Selling trips isn't anything like selling printer ink and other impulse buys.

So forget about minisites and articles rewritten based on three other people's articles. The serious travelers landing on your site will back right out of this crap content. Travel affiliates have enough working against them as it is. It's so easy for the affiliate to become disconnected from the referral in the days, weeks and even months they consider the trip.

I Second IAN.com. They are good and have high payouts.

Ian.com which is now Ean.com(expedia affiliate network) is very good. Priceline through CJ.com also has a good program, they also do private label/whitelabel and will even build a site for you if you have a good domain and can bring in lots of traffic.
