Hi!

I think that some companies have affiliate programs that'll only be handled by affiliate networks. You can directly affiliate with them. Take Xoom.com for example, when you apply for their affiliate program at their website, the link will take you to CJ (or LS). It's more convenient for these company since affiliate networks takes care of everything. Besides, our commissions stays the same.
