added affiliate affiliates barely browse categories click clicked clicking codes didn don down drill extreeeemly feature forward full giving incomplete join link list menu merchant merchants point product program programs promote remember replacement search select show sign-up site system tab tag-based tags web working

From the affiliates tab, I can only browse the full list of merchants. The search feature barely works for me - unless you know the name of the product already. I remember being being able to drill down by categories at one point, but I can't find the link and those categories were extreeeemly incomplete at the time.

How about giving affiliates an easier way to search for merchants to promote?

We're working on a tag-based replacement for the old categories system.

Most affiliates join a merchant's program by clicking the sign-up link on the merchant's own Web site. If you clicked such a link, you should not need to search for the merchant in our system -- that merchant should already show up in your Get Affiliate Codes > Select Merchant menu, and if they didn't get added in there, just click their link again.

looking forward to the tags. I know how it's currently done, but looking for programs I don't already know about
