Leading the Top 20 CPA Networks ranking is Epic Direct, followed by NeverBlue, Market Leverage and Clickbooth. Among the Top 20 Affiliate Networks, ClickBank rose to the #1 position, followed closely by Commission Junction, ShareASale, Affiliate Window/buy.at and oneNetworkDirect. ClickBank's success was driven not just by the size of its support but also by the enthusiasm expressed.

The BLUE BOOK Top 20 rankings are the result of an industry-wide survey of over 5,000 advertisers, publishers and agencies, combined with expert views from a Blue-Ribbon panel of industry insiders, traffic data and measures of industry influence and reputation. For networks that make it on to a BLUE BOOK Top 20 list, it is a mark of their reputation, service and the high-regard in which they are held.

"2010 has been a year of reorganization and consolidation in the performance marketing industry. It is harder than ever for brands, merchants and publishers to know which networks stand out from the crowd," said Chris Trayhorn, founder of Revenue Performance magazine and CEO of mThink. "The BLUE BOOK Top 20 rankings help advertisers and publishers cut through the clutter to find the quality networks that are best suited to their needs."
