Affiliate Reviews

These are some of the affiliates that I believe all publishers should sign up and give a try. I have hand picked the ones that I believe are the best for an incentive based website as well as added useful information and my two cents for each affiliate. There are many other incentive affiliates that I have tried out but did not mention due to lack of support and incentive campaigns, which I believe are not worthy of signing up for. I will continue to update this list as I try out more and more incentive affiliate networks that are worth signing up for. Make sure to check the blog posts on the home page everyday to see if any new affiliates have been added.

Adscend Media
Pay Date: Net30
Method of Payment: Check, Paypal
Minimum Payout: $50
Amount of Incentive Offers: +/- 145
Postback Tracking: - Do offer postback tracking.
Pros:

- Credit Requests are taken.

- Support is easily reached through email or AIM.

- Variety of incentive campaigns.

- Good conversion rate for campaigns.

- Custom tracking script.
Cons: - Very new network.

- Had a few revokes early on, but some were returned.

- Not many exclusive campaigns.
My Two Cents: I personally know the owners of Adscend Media, but I won’t bring any bias into this review. One great thing about them is that their affiliate script is custom made which I always believe helps more in campaign conversions. Their base rates are always higher then their competition and always try to beat any rates that are higher elsewhere. They also have a good amount of incentive campaigns and take credit requests for the campaigns that did not convert. I did receive a few revokes from them early on, but Adscend Media did take the hit on a few campaigns and paid. Even though they are very new, I do believe they are here for the long run and would suggest them to everyone!
Update 3/8/10: Still use them every now and then. They have many incentive submits/surveys/quizzes, not as many trials though. Still pay on time and would recommend them.

CPAStorm/Adperio
Pay Date: Net15/Net30 (based on amount of traffic brought in)
Method of Payment: Check, Paypal
Minimum Payout: $50
Amount of Incentive Offers: +/- 320
Postback Tracking: - Do offer postback tracking which you will have to specifically ask for.
Pros:

- Abundance of incentive campaigns.

- Fastest and most reliable support in the business reached through email or IM.

- Payment sent promptly on the 30th.

- Very good conversion rate for campaigns.
Cons: - Rate increases come with volume. – Recently changed their new affiliate policies (read below for more).
My Two Cents: Wooosh…the storm is coming! No! Don’t run away! Go towards it! Yes! Go toward the storm! No I’m not stupid! Just GO! CPAStorm is a great affiliate network that has probably the best campaign conversions. No joke, I barely get any complaints about their campaigns converting, which puts them very high up on my list. Even though they use direct track, they have found a genius way to implement post back tracking with their direct track script, but make sure you ask about it because there isn’t a big blue button you click that magically installs it. The campaign rates they offer are slightly above their competitions. Also, they have many incentive campaigns to chose from, though most of them are no credit card/e-mail submits. There is one frustrating thing about CPAStorm though, recently they have changed their new affiliate policies. In order to sign up you basically have to hump through hoops answering an abundant about of questions about your website. This makes signing up for CPAStorm irritating and can cause most not want to go through the hassle. I wouldn’t mind it so much, but even if I want a separate account I have to answer all these questions, which is bizzare.
Update 3/8/10: Word is that CPAStorm/Aperio booted all the GPT websites that use the ShiftCode script. They’re still good for incents, have tons of submits and such. So if you have a custom/non ShiftCode script make sure to sign up with them.

ExclusiveCPA
Pay Date: Net30
Method of Payment: Check, Paypal
Minimum Payout: $50
Amount of Incentive Offers: +/- 100
Postback Tracking: - Do offer postback tracking.
Pros:

- Exclusive Incentive Campaigns

- Support is easily reached through email or AIM.

- Performance Bonuses Every Month

- Great conversion rate for campaigns.

- Low chargebacks/revokes
Cons: - Low base rates

- Could add some more credit card trial campaigns.
My Two Cents: ExclusiveCPA has impressed me over and over again; first being the great exclusive campaigns that I can’t find elsewhere, second being that they pay on time. The reason I say that they have impressed me by paying on time is because most affiliates who have exclusive offers no where else to be seen do not come through at the end and end up scrubbing many leads. ExclusiveCPA is one affiliate company that does not do that. As well as exlcusive campaigns, they give you a month to month bonus if you reach a certain amount of revenue. So far they have impressed me a lot and I suggest you sign up for them today!
Update 3/8/10: Very good network for incentive websites. Have many more submits/quizzes/surveys than trials, but I know the owner personally and he’s a good guy. They always pay on time if you verify your payment.

InstantDollarz
Pay Date: Net30
Method of Payment: Check, Paypal
Minimum Payout: $100
Amount of Incentive Offers: +/-1250
Postback Tracking: - Do offer postback tracking.
Pros:

- Over a thousand incentive campaigns to chose from.

- Payment sent promptly on the 30th. – Offer a list of campaign conversion percentage
Cons:

- Base campaign rates are pretty low compared to competition.

- Campaign conversion rates are unstable (explained below).
My Two Cents: WTF! Over a thousand incentive campaigns?? Hold on, let me get my glasses. Holy smokes Batman! It’s true! With over a thousand incentive campaigns I am almost positive that you will find any category you are looking for and if you don’t, well, go away. I have had my share of good luck and bad luck with InstantDollarz (yes that’s dollarZ with a Z, not an S). With so many campaigns, some do not convert properly, leaving publishers with those annoying users who bother about getting no credit after waiting less than a minute after completion of the campaign (yes the same users from the Motive Interactive review). But the campaigns that do convert well always make me happy, so I suggest you play around with their offers and find some that convert well. They have over a friggin’ thousand, there HAS to be a few that convert well.
Update 3/8/10: Honestly I don’t really use them much anymore. Haven’t even logged into their platform in a while. I’m sure they still pay though. Just keeping it real!

Motive Interactive
Pay Date: Net30
Method of Payment: Check, Paypal, Wire
Minimum Payout: $50
Amount of Incentive Offers: +/- 70
Postback Tracking: - Do offer postback tracking, but you will have to ask support to implement it.
Pros: - Some of the highest campaign rates I have seen.

- Unique AdVent Script.

- Support is easily reached through email or AIM.

- Payment sent promptly on the 30th.

- Very good conversion rate for campaigns.
Cons:

- Heavily revoke for fraudulent leads.

- Advent backs up after 2AM Central time, stats of campaigns unavailable for a few hours.

- Lack of exclusive high paying campaigns

My Two Cents: Motive Interactive has their own unique script, which believe it or not, I think helps in their conversion of campaigns. I can’t explain how it helps…yet, but just take my word on this one. I’m not saying its flawless, but for me its better than most of the other networks. Now don’t get all excited and think you have found the perfect network that will get all those annoying users, who bother you about getting no credit after waiting less than a minute after completion of the campaign, off your back (oops run on!). I brought heavy traffic to them once and had to pay for it, yes, they dropped the revoke bomb on me. I still use them because they have very good rates for their campaigns, but I made sure to take extra fraud measures before I did. I would suggest publishers to test out a few campaigns before they bring heavy traffic to this network.
Update 3/8/10: Not many incentive campaigns anymore. And the ones they do have aren’t very exclusive. Every now and then they get a good campaign, but I wouldn’t use them as my top 5 affiliates.

Never Blue Ads
Pay Date: Net15
Method of Payment: Check, Paypal
Minimum Payout: $25
Amount of Incentive Offers: +/- 50
Postback Tracking: - Do offer postback tracking.
Pros:

- Professional seasoned company.

- Fairly high campaign rates.

- Payment sent promptly on the 15th.

- Very good conversion rate for campaigns.
Cons: - Do not accept all incentive websites.
My Two Cents: I remember getting rejected over and over for this network. I didn’t understand how every other network got accepted besides me! So I decided to man up and actually do something about it instead of crying over the rejection letter. After many e-mail/phone exchanges and a long essay on how I prevent fraudulent leads, I finally got into their network. I won’t lie, I felt like I could climb Mt. Everest after that. I suggest you go back to your high-school days and remember everything your English taught you about writing an effective essay if you decide to sign up. I don’t blame them though, fraud has been ridiculous in this industry. In the end, it was worth the struggle because they have some of the best campaign conversion rates.
Update 3/8/10: Decent amount of incentive campaigns. Don’t really use them much anymore either but every now and then I check to see what they have. It’s always good to have an account with this network, but no need to cry if they don’t accept you.

Panthera Network
Pay Date: Net30
Method of Payment: Check
Minimum Payout: $50
Amount of Incentive Offers: +/- 60
Postback Tracking: - Do not offer postback tracking, but have sub-id reporting as well CSV imports.
Pros:

- Support is easily reached through email or AIM.

- Payment sent promptly on the 30th.

- Very good conversion rate for campaigns.
Cons: - Lack of incentive campaigns.
My Two Cents: I believe Panthera Network focuses more on non-incentive campaigns, but still do have a decent amount of incentive ones. If you’re planning on opening an international website, they have a good amount of international campaigns. Their conversion rates are very good so I do hope they get some good incentive campaigns soon. As of right now, they put me to sleep with the selection of their incentive offers. And its VERY hard to put me to sleep, trust me, I’m nocturnal.
Update 3/8/10: Yeah.. Still don’t use them much..

PublisherRev
Pay Date: Net30
Method of Payment: Check, Paypal
Minimum Payout: $50
Amount of Incentive Offers: +/- 100
Postback Tracking: - Do not offer postback tracking, but have sub-id reporting as well CSV imports.
Pros:

- Support is easily reached through email or AIM.

- Same owner as Anything4Free.com.

- Good campaign conversions.
Cons:

- Base campaign rates are pretty low compared to competition, but do not hesitate to raise campaign rates when asked.

- Not many exclusive campaigns as of yet.
My Two Cents: Publisher Rev. is a fairly new network that I have been with for a while now. They are very friendly and professional, I know they won’t run away with my money so that’s always reaffirming for a new network. The owner does also own the forum at Anything4Free.com, so that’s another reason I trust them more. They are always willing to increase campaign rates if you get them at a higher rate elsewhere. Every time I run a campaign with them it converts very well so I don’t end up with a lot of credit requests from my users. Also, Wes (the owner of PublisherRev) is now working full time on his network so I expect great things to come in the future from them!
Update 3/8/10: Not so new anymore. Have good amount of incentive campaigns. Always pay on time. Support is great. Good network to have an account with.
