Overall: 
The affiliate programs conducted by MarketHealth pay top commission. Many people are making an absolute ton of money through MarketHealth promoting products from teeth whitening kits to herbs that help you concentrate. Early in 2008, a controversy erupted and various affiliates accused MarketHealth of being a scam. After investigating these claims, we are satisfied that this is not an issue. Meanwhile, the commissions are still impressive.
Ease of Use: 
The MarketHealth website is a cornucopia of content, including affiliate marketing news, tips, and special offers. On the technical side, you're working with top shelf linking tools and banners, dynamic product data feeds, RSS article feeds, link cloaking technology, and even a custom store download option. Oh, and they also offer more than 100 products to choose from. In other words, newbies have some learning to do, but have come to the right place. The site is well-designed, so that helps.
Reputation/Security:
MarketHealth.com, originally branded as JoeBucks.com, has been in business since 1998. They're a pioneer in affiliate marketing. Thousands of affiliates make good money working with them. However, over the course of the last year, a number of affiliates accused MarketHealth of running a scam on their affiliate partners. To make a long story short, affiliates charged MarketHealth with unethically transferring affiliate sales to a certain affiliate ID that, it was suspected, belonged to MarketHealth itself. The blogosphere blew up. MarketHealth claims that this was all a big misunderstanding. We have spent a lot of time and effort investigating this issue and we are satisfied that these problems, whatever they were, have been resolved. We've been watching them closely, and will update the review if it becomes necessary.
Customer Service:
MarketHealth customer service is reachable by phone, email, fax or letter. The blogosphere was aflame earlier in 2008 about the unhelpfulness of MarketHealth customer service staff during the scandal described above, but we have had positive experiences with that same staff. They're friendly and above all they're knowledgeable, because they've been doing this for a while.
Commission Rate: 
We feel sorry and solidarity with affiliates who think they got scammed by MarketHealth, but at the same time, money talks, and MarketHealth pays out the highest commissions in the industry. Starting payout is 50% of referred sales, and that includes re-orders. Top performing affiliates get bumped up to 60% and, upon generating 20 sales per day, can obtain even more special commission rates. You also receive 5% on all webmaster referrals. Product selection is vast, from teeth whitening supplies to acne cream to herbal remedies. Keep a sharp eye out for new promotions, too. If you're talking $35 per sale on a teeth whitening package that erases coffee stains in one use and customers get a free trial, we're listening.
Ease of Commission Payment:
Payments are sent out every two weeks via check, wire transfer, PayPal, or a pre-paid debt card, whichever you prefer. We've never had any problems and are big fans of the two week paydays. By the time you forget about your last check, here comes your next check.
