Worth flagging before anyone else acts on it — PeerFly shut down back in 2019, so that's not a usable recommendation anymore even though it gets mentioned a lot in older threads. Mundo Media and A4D are legit calls though for AV offers without the big private-network approval hurdle. A few more...

For nutra beyond CB/Digistore, the FB/Google compliance angle matters more than the network name itself — weight loss and appetite suppressant offers get flagged fast on both platforms regardless of which network you're running through, so the real differentiator is whether the network gives you...

Turkish sports traffic at that scale is a decent fit for testing ExoClick and HilltopAds alongside whatever you're already considering — both have real demand specifically for Turkey/MENA traffic, which not every pop-focused network does well. One thing worth checking before committing to any...

Worth adding actual numbers to the intent vs volume framing everyone's giving: at low daily budgets (think $5-10/day range), Quora's CPC tends to run higher per click but the clicks themselves come from people already in research/comparison mode, so conversion rate per visitor is usually better...

The zone-filtering advice above is solid, but worth understanding why pop traffic specifically has this problem more than other formats. Pop/popunder inherently has weaker engagement signals to filter against — the user didn't click an ad creative, they just had a tab open. That makes it much...

One angle not really covered here: a lot of people frame this as "native is dead vs native still works," but the real variable is which network you're testing on for your specific vertical. MGID, Taboola, Outbrain, and Revcontent have meaningfully different approval bars, minimum CPCs, and...

IM Dude's breakdown is accurate — it really comes down to margin control vs risk distribution. Owning the offer means 100% margin but you're fully exposed if the product/conversion rate is weak. Affiliate means lower margin per sale but you can test multiple offers and only scale the ones that...

The "pick one thing and stick with it" advice in this thread is right, but I'd add a reason why: most beginners quit not because the strategy failed, but because they switched before any single approach had enough time/data to actually prove or disprove itself. A traffic source or offer usually...

EPC over a meaningful sample size is the one I keep coming back to, same as a few people said above. CTR and even raw CR can both look great and still lose money if the payout or traffic quality doesn't match. The segment breakdown point is underrated though — campaign-level ROI can hide a lot...

Fair point, and that's a real problem in this space — plenty of "review" sites are just thinly-veiled affiliate pages ranking for the network's own name. The way I'd filter it: look for sites that show negative info too (declined applications, slow payment complaints, networks that closed down)...

All the networks mentioned above (CPAlead, CPAGrip, MyLead, Mobidea, CrakRevenue) are solid starting points — but worth flagging that "instant approval + crypto payout" together is a slightly unusual combo worth treating carefully, since the lowest-friction networks sometimes have weaker offer...

Good breakdown above. For the specific verticals mentioned (SOI sweeps, mobile installs, VPN/utility, leadgen), worth noting the network choice matters almost as much as the vertical — some networks have much better fill/approval for beginners in these exact categories than others. For SOI...

All of this is solid vetting advice, and honestly this is exactly why a lot of affiliates default to "big networks only" — doing this level of due diligence on every independent program is exhausting, especially the test-buy-twice and chargeback-wording stuff. One thing worth adding to the...

For pay-per-install campaigns like this (game/utility app, worldwide minus one GEO), the cheapest scalable sources are usually CPI ad networks rather than influencers — influencer cost per install tends to be much higher and harder to predict. Worth testing: Mintegral and Liftoff for...

Sure, go ahead
