Binary options are slowly becoming similar to Forex in terms of advertising cost, however the trader value is still significantly lower. So if you are a Forex affiliate looking to diversify, or just an affiliate looking for a good deal don't expect CPA's of $500+. The standard these days is $250-$350 depending on volume. Some programs require trading to be executed in order to qualify for commissions, while others absorb the risk. Actually this is important because every now and then you will have people depositing and cashing out or simply waiting a long time to trade because they are distracted. It's also important to check if the broker accepts US traffic or does not, the reasons vary and usually have to do with regulatory considerations.
