How to vet an affiliate network before sending your first click

How to vet an affiliate network before sending your first click

Analyze payment terms and the hold period. A short hold is tempting but can signal shaving if the network lacks capital. Reliable partners maintain a balance between fraud protection and cash flow, ensuring quality traffic is rewarded without delays.

Prioritize direct advertisers. They provide higher payouts and faster feedback. If a network is a middleman, you lose margin and face communication lags. Always clarify the offer source to avoid being at the end of a long chain.

Test technical integration before scaling. Compare clicks in your tracker with the dashboard. A discrepancy over 10% indicates poor redirect logic. Use S2S postbacks, as standard pixels are often blocked by modern privacy settings.

Verify reliability by running a small budget test. This confirms tracking accuracy and the payout process before you commit significant capital. 💸
