The questions people actually ask before they trust a network.

AffiliateAdz is a performance marketing and affiliate network. On one side sit 4,800+ publishers with traffic to monetise; on the other, advertisers such as Meridian Fintech, OrbitPay, Kavach Insurance, Playloop Games, Sable Commerce, Nimbus EdTech and Voyara who pay only for defined outcomes. We operate 1,240 live offers across 41 geos on tracking infrastructure we build and run ourselves, and we paid out $24.7M in FY25.

Send an application through the contact form naming your traffic sources, monthly volume, verticals and two example placements. An automated duplicate and domain-reputation check runs in the first two hours, then a partnerships manager reviews it by hand — usually within 24 hours. Our approval rate is 87.4%, and every rejection comes with a reason.

Three reasons account for most rejections. First, undeclared or vague traffic sources — an application that says “various sources” and nothing else cannot be risk-assessed. Second, placements that misrepresent the advertiser, such as fake countdowns, invented approval odds or borrowed brand logos. Third, an applicant domain, payout destination or device fingerprint already linked to a suspended account.

No. Publisher accounts are free: no setup fee, no monthly platform charge, no revenue share taken out of the quoted payout. The number shown on the offer is the number that lands in your ledger. Advertisers carry the network fee, which is why we can keep the publisher side clean.

Five business days is the standard path: commercials and conversion definition on day one, tracking integration and postback QA on days two and three, a soft launch to a small vetted cohort under a hard cap on day four, full release on day five. Programs needing a custom CRM integration, a new mobile measurement partner or regulated-sector legal review run closer to two weeks. We tell you which track you are on at the first call.

Five core verticals: finance (lending, cards, insurance), gaming (casual and mid-core), e-commerce (retail and home), travel (OTA and hotels) and edtech (courses and trials). Traffic splits across 41 geos, led by India at 34%, South East Asia at 14%, the United States at 12%, the UAE at 11%, Brazil at 9% and the United Kingdom at 7%, with 35 further markets making up the remainder.

CPA, CPL, CPS, CPI and CPC, plus hybrid structures that pair a small fixed lead payment with a back-end revenue share. The model is chosen by how cleanly the advertiser can validate the event: CPL suits form-based finance and edtech, CPS suits e-commerce with an order value, CPI suits gaming with an MMP in place. Blended EPC across the network is $0.94.

Precisely enough that two people reading it would reject the same conversions. “Approved application”, “funded wallet with at least $10”, “first order over $20 excluding shipping” — those work. “Quality lead” does not. Write down the rejection reasons you intend to use at the same time, because a rejection reason invented in week three is the single most common cause of a payout dispute.

There is no contractual floor, but below roughly $2,000 a month a campaign rarely gathers enough conversions to optimise against and you end up paying integration effort for statistical noise. For a first vertical test we usually recommend one geo, one creative set and a hard daily cap for three weeks before widening. That structure costs less and tells you more.

Yes. Offers can run open, private to an allowlist, or tiered so that new publishers start on a capped version and graduate once their quality score holds. You can block individual publisher IDs (PUB-#####), whole traffic-source categories such as push or pop, or specific geos at any time from the dashboard. Blocks apply to new clicks immediately; clicks already in flight are honoured for the attribution window.

The offer flips to paused and stops accepting clicks the moment the cap is hit, and publishers see the status change in the marketplace within seconds. Conversions from clicks sent before the pause are still tracked and paid — we never retro-reject on the basis of a cap. Caps reset at 00:00 UTC unless you ask for a different timezone boundary.

You can pause instantly for compliance or budget reasons, and we would rather you did than let a broken funnel keep taking traffic. For payout cuts and material term changes we ask for 48 hours notice so publishers can retune their buying, and we hold the previous payout for any click already inside the attribution window. Repeated unannounced changes affect how aggressively publishers allocate to you.

Every creative that mentions your brand is reviewed against the compliance pack you supply at onboarding, and publishers may only use approved assets and claim lines. Trademark bidding on your brand terms is prohibited network-wide unless you explicitly whitelist a partner. Our compliance team runs sampled placement checks, and a publisher caught misrepresenting an advertiser is suspended pending review rather than warned.

You receive a conversion file at the end of each calendar month listing every conversion with its click ID, timestamp, publisher ID and status. Your named reconciliation contact signs it off within five working days, and the invoice is issued against the signed file with GST applied where the supply is taxable in India. Standard terms are NET-30 from invoice date; disputes must be raised before sign-off, not after.

Bot, emulator and datacentre traffic; cookie stuffing and forced clicks; auto-redirects that give the user no choice; adult, hate, weapons or piracy placements; creatives that misrepresent the advertiser, invent approval odds or imitate a bank or government notice; trademark bidding on advertiser brand terms; and incentivised traffic on any offer not explicitly flagged as incent-allowed. Toolbars, extensions and adware that inject affiliate links are prohibited outright.

Only on offers carrying the incent-allowed flag, which is set by the advertiser and shown on the offer page. Certain casual gaming and app-install campaigns want it; almost no finance or insurance campaign does, because incentivised leads fail underwriting and pollute the advertiser cohort data. Sending incent traffic to a non-incent offer is treated as a term breach, not a mistake, and the conversions are reversed in full.

Every click is scored in real time on datacentre and proxy IP reputation, device and browser fingerprint entropy, click-to-conversion timing distributions, sub-ID concentration and geo-to-language coherence. Anomalies at the cohort level — a conversion rate that triples overnight, or a publisher whose conversions all arrive within four seconds of the click — trigger a hold rather than an instant reversal. A human reviews every hold before any money moves.

A clawback is the reversal of a conversion that was already approved and paid, and it is deducted from your next payout run rather than invoiced. It applies where the underlying event was fraudulent, duplicated, charged back by the end customer, or cancelled or refunded within the advertiser's stated validation period. Clawbacks are itemised with the conversion ID and reason code, and the same 30-day dispute window applies as for any other reversal.

We act as data fiduciary and controller for our own account and click data, and as processor where an advertiser instructs us on their end-customer data, with the split written into the insertion order. Tracking cookies and device identifiers are only set after affirmative consent, consent state is logged with a timestamp, and cross-border transfers rely on standard contractual clauses. Data principal requests under the DPDP Act 2023, GDPR or CCPA go to the Grievance Officer and are acknowledged within 24 hours and resolved within 30 days.

Payouts are held, not confiscated, and you are told the same day which offer and which metric triggered it. You get 7 days to respond with your own logs, placement screenshots and traffic-source evidence. If the traffic clears, the hold lifts and the balance is released on the next Wednesday run with no penalty. If it does not, the affected conversions are reversed with reason codes and the account is either capped or closed depending on severity.
