I received a program shutdown announcement from Peerfly.

This definitely came from left field

Hello XXXXXXXXXX

After nearly eleven wonderful years, PeerFly will be discontinuing normal operations on Wednesday, July 31st and will be closing the PeerFly Affiliate Network.

While this was a hard decision to make, we wanted to do it while we still had the opportunity to exit with the respect of our thousands of affiliates and clients.

Please pause traffic by midnight on July 31st. Any traffic sent after that time will not be paid for. Net30s will proceed like normal and everyone that has met the threshold by the 31st will be paid on the regular schedule.

PeerFly might be saying goodbye, but the team who successfully managed PeerFly over the years still has a lot to contribute to the online marketing world, so stay tuned for future announcements.

We outlined questions that you may have below so you don’t have to spend the time contacting support:

Why is PeerFly closing?

Affiliate marketing is alive and well. However, the particular model that PeerFly was built on no longer represents the most efficient or cost-effective method for generating new sales and leads for advertisers. Over the years, many advancements in online marketing have created new low barriers of entry for businesses who want to control their marketing internally. Platforms like Facebook have dominated the ability to precisely target an audience and have made it incredibly easy to scale. Combined with a great economy, where businesses are okay risking marketing dollars to find the right audience, the model of the “Affiliate Network” is one that doesn’t work nearly as well in 2019 as it did just 5 years earlier.

When do I need to pause my PeerFly links?

Please do so by midnight on July 31st. Any traffic sent after midnight on July 31st will not be paid for.

Will I still get paid out my current balance?

We’ve made over 50,000 individual payments to affiliates since PeerFly started and we’ll continue to do so until everyone who’s owed is paid. As long as you’ve met the required $50 threshold by Wednesday, July 31st, you will receive payment on the regular net30 schedule.

This is the part that really caught my attention

"Combined with a great economy, where businesses are okay risking marketing dollars to find the right audience, the model of the “Affiliate Network” is one that doesn’t work nearly as well in 2019 as it did just 5 years earlier."

Do you guys agree? The best years of the AFFILIATE NETWORK model are behind it?
 
Wow, wasn't expecting this at all. Times have changed and their business model is obviously not worth sustaining. :(
 
I've not had that email, I got one on Friday from Luke;

David,


I am happy to be sending you my first email from our new TUNE platform. Below is a list of our top 25 converting offers for last week (data based on traffic we received last week on our new platform).

Luke is my contact as well so I was surprised to see that one.
 
Luke is unresponsive for the longest time now... If this is true then I guess its time to apply to some other network (ugh). Would be sad to see them go tbh though why did they migrate to TUNE (hasoffers) if they are deciding to close the business now? This just doesn't make any sense.

You should be in multiple networks anyway.

PF is not direct and other networks pay better for many of their offers.

***cough*** MB ***cough***

Sad to see them go though as they were one of my first CPA networks and Luke actually gave me some tips for some of my marketing back in the day.

I actually am in a few other networks but none have the offer that peerfly has :p I've applied to MB but never gotten their call and no news from support when I've written an email like 4 weeks ago so I decided to let them be.

EDIT: I've reapplied again just now with my company name... Lets see how it goes tomorrow :P at least I got my affiliate manager contact details now so I can contact em directly.

Good for them
that's because they never accepted me
so that's what will happen always

We are in the same boat. They rejected me 6years ago; so I just went out and started my own network.
