Whether you\u2019re an experienced affiliate marketer<\/a> or a total newbie, it definitely pays to know the best CPA networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best CPA networks offer comparatively high payouts, boast thousands of CPA offers, and best of all, you don\u2019t necessarily even need to convince people to hit your affiliate link and convert on the spot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Often, you\u2019ll get paid for generating leads, so you can leave the job of closing the deal to someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like the sound of CPA affiliate marketing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019re in the right place. In this guide, I\u2019ll run through Authority Hacker\u2019s pick of the top CPA affiliate networks out there right now, based on research, reviews, and ratings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, let\u2019s get some key performance marketing definitions out.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n CPA stands for \u201cC<\/strong>ost P<\/strong>er A<\/strong>cquisition\u201d or \u201cC<\/strong>ost Per Action<\/b>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In short, that means CPA affiliate marketing is about generating leads. Whereas a CPS-based affiliate program like Amazon Associates<\/a> is only interested in driving sales, CPA affiliate marketers get paid for actions like form submissions and software downloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In practice, that means experienced CPA marketers tend to focus solely on cost-per-acquisition programs because the quality traffic they generate is catered to those sorts of offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s also an incredibly popular way of valuing leads. Our affiliate marketing statistics<\/a> page shows that over 99% of affiliate programs offer a CPA model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But how do you choose the best CPA affiliate network for you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n To find the answer, dive into our list of the best performance marketing networks for CPA advertisers and publishers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clickbooth is now known as Perform[cb]<\/a>, all part of a merger between Clickbooth, Adperio and Ignite OPM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just in case you were wondering why CPA networks like Adperio weren\u2019t listed separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All told the people behind this affiliate network have almost four centuries of cumulative industry experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But more importantly, they have thousands of curated offers spanning a number of popular online advertising verticals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And that includes all the usual affiliate marketing niches like Financial<\/a>, Lifestyle, Health, Dating<\/a>, Entertainment, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll find HBO, McAfee, and eHarmony on their client list, for example \u2013 that\u2019s pretty impressive. <\/p>\n\n\n This affiliate network has a large and diverse selection of offers to promote, has been around since 2002, and also offers a very low payment threshold when compared to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CPA networks can appear and disappear overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So dealing with one that has served advertisers and publishers alike for several years is almost always preferable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n MaxBounty<\/a> is something of an \u201cOG\u201d in the CPA affiliate marketing game, having launched back in 2004.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s highly rated by advertisers, who named it the best CPA network at the 2019 Blue Book Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And it\u2019s got plenty of love from CPA affiliates too, offering a choice of more than 2,000 active campaigns with advertisers from across the planet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Wherever your audience is based (within reason), you\u2019ll find an affiliate program to suit at MaxBounty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As well as providing weekly payments, this global affiliate network offers performance bonuses to top affiliate marketers through regular performance-based rewards. Once approved, you\u2019ll be assigned a dedicated affiliate manager to help you drive more quality traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It also boasts a feature-rich dashboard that makes it easy for affiliates to stay on top of their earnings and keep tabs on the latest, most popular affiliate campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nope, this award-winning affiliate network is not a front for Tyrone Biggums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although it\u2019s not exactly a run-of-the-mill CPA network either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s because CrakRevenue<\/a> specializes in adult affiliate offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, while this isn\u2019t everyone\u2019s cup of tea, it\u2019s worth pointing out that these offers can make you a lot of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You just need to be realistic about the SEO challenges you can face in this area of online marketing e.g. link building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, what this affiliate network has available for willing affiliates are over 1,000 offers.<\/p>\n\n\n This CPA network focuses on optimizing payouts to affiliates based on what gives you the most bang for your buck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An added bonus is that you\u2019ll earn 5% on all sales made by any of your sub-affiliates\/referrals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n ClickDealer<\/a> is a relative newcomer to the CPA marketing scene, starting out in 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But they\u2019ve won an award or accolade of some kind every year since their inception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So they know what they\u2019re doing when it comes to CPA marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From an affiliate\u2019s perspective, there\u2019s a lot to like about this international network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mainly that they have offers in all of the popular niches<\/a> like e-commerce, dating<\/a>, gaming, retail, and mobile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But they also have offers in the sweepstakes, social media, voucher, and software niches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re into partying ClickDealer is your kind of network \u2013 they offer a ton of fun incentives to work with them. <\/p>\n\n\n Payments are made monthly for all new affiliates, once you cross their US$100 threshold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can swap over to weekly payments once you\u2019ve proven yourself i.e. you\u2019re not cookie stuffing or sending them dud traffic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As CPA networks go, CPAlead<\/a> focuses on both mobile and desktop offers, but they have a strong leaning towards mobile<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to this, they also have over 300 products and services you can promote via a number of different formats, including banner ads, popups, pop-unders, and native ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And they take care of all the geo and device-specific targeting shenanigans for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All that you have to do is choose the offer you think will convert best, and drive warm traffic to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you can see from the logos below, this marketing network partners with some of the biggest and best brands in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n Which is probably why they\u2019ve been able to pay out over US$100 million to their affiliate marketing partners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n CPAlead would appear to be one of the more established CPA networks on the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Payouts are via wire transfer, Payoneer, PayPal, Paxum, ePayments, and WebMoney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Next up for scrutiny is Admitad<\/a>, a CPA network I had no idea even existed until I started the research for this piece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That doesn\u2019t change the fact that they\u2019re a global affiliate marketing network with almost 2,000 unique advertisers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And just for once, it\u2019s not just about interstitial ads or app installs \u2013 they also offer a contextual advertising option for monetizing your website traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So your visitors won\u2019t have to fiddle with closing pop-ups, and you still get to monetize your content with juicy CPA offers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That makes them somewhat unique among the CPA networks in this roundup.<\/p>\n\n\n When you have an online marketing\/affiliate business there are few things you\u2019ll care more about than being able to make money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because when it comes down to it, money talks and bovine excrement perambulates elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Affiliate marketers working with this CPA network claim earnings of $32,700 in a single day (see above).<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s obviously somebody working at serious scale with traffic, etc. but it still shows you what\u2019s possible when working with Cost per Acquisition offers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Cpamatica<\/a> is a Ukraine-based affiliate network that focuses on two key verticals \u2013 dating and sweepstakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why those two?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because the payouts tend to be on the substantial side of things \u2013 both advertisers and publishers benefit here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In total, you have almost 1,000 different offers to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These span the above two verticals, but Cpamatica also has offers in some of the other popular niches such as weight loss<\/a>, health<\/a>, gaming, beauty<\/a>, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Which means they should have something to appeal to most types of website traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n As is typical with 90% of CPA networks, they don\u2019t publish program details publicly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You also get paid 2% of any sales made by affiliates you refer to this cost per acquisition network. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Toro Advertising<\/a> is a European CPA network that makes some pretty bold claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Such as, \u201c…if you need any offer they have it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Their portfolio spans thousands of offers, across multiple popular verticals like dating, gambling, finance, apps, and mobile content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Plus, their network operates in 90 different countries around the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Is this one of the best CPA networks out there?<\/p>\n\n\n\n They\u2019re certainly worth a second look if you haven\u2019t already tried them.<\/p>\n\n\n Toro Advertising is used to working with CPA affiliate marketers at all stages of their career \u2013 from newbies to publishers who can push a lot of traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And if you can perform you\u2019ll get promoted to their \u201cVIP\u201d bracket, with all the perks that come with that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Payments are monthly but only for the first month \u2013 you can move to weekly payments after that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the norm for many of the best CPA networks<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are lots of CPA networks out there, so what sets AdWork Media<\/a> apart from its competitors?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Apart from having a brand name that comes perilously close to pissing Google off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, the first thing is the number of campaigns\/advertisers they manage \u2013 over 2,500 at last count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But what they specialize in is content locked offers that are also mobile-friendly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Basically, your visitors complete a survey or free trial to unlock the content they want to view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And you get paid when they do that.<\/p>\n\n\n So, as with most CPA networks, you can only see offer details once you sign up with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But they do offer performance bonuses for serious affiliates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You have to work with monthly payments to start but you can change over to weekly after that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You haven\u2019t heard of Advendor<\/a> before today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s okay \u2013 they\u2019re brand new to the market, which is actually a bonus for both advertisers and publishers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Basically, they\u2019ll be keen to do business with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The downside here is that details about them are pretty thin on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Based on their client list though it\u2019s safe to assume they place a lot of emphasis on the cryptocurrency vertical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But the upside \u2013 and particularly for newbie CPA marketers \u2013 is that their affiliate approval process should be pretty lenient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And yes, you\u2019re obviously taking a calculated risk when working with a brand new CPA network.<\/p>\n\n\n This network has a payment threshold of US$50, with weekly payouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ll update this blog post with more information on Advendor, as and when it becomes available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MyLead<\/a> is an affiliate network that offers more than 3,600 affiliate programs across 35 affiliate niches, including beauty, crypto, fashion, gaming, pets, and travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over 490,000 publishers use the platform, which has paid out a total of $8 million in commissions to affiliates in 154 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CPA marketing is only one of many models offered by MyLead; it also does cost per lead, cost per sale, pay-per-install, and lots more besides. But the CPA affiliates programs on its network offer the highest payouts<\/a> of up to several thousand dollars from a single action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MyLead affiliates can choose their preferred payment method:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The affiliate network promises to pay affiliate marketers in no later than 14 business days of making a payment request, although the majority of payments are processed within 48 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MyLead has a low payment threshold of $20 for all payment methods, other than Bitcoin. If you don\u2019t earn $20 in a calendar month, your commissions will be rolled over to the following month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fireads<\/a> is a Poland-based CPA network that\u2019s actually been in business for almost a decade now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They\u2019re one of many European affiliate networks now starting to make their presence felt internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In terms of what they do, they specialize in CPA offers, but also have Pay-per-install, CPS, and CPL campaigns for you to monetize your traffic with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This network operates in a number of popular verticals such as adult, dating, gaming, and cryptos<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n These are<\/em> competitive markets, but the payout is usually more than worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n This CPA network claims to have offers that pay up to $350 per sale, which would be attractive to most affiliate marketers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But with the understanding that this is the exception rather than the rule. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As is the case with even the best CPA networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Withdrawals are available via PayPal or wire transfer within hours of a verified sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Making money as an affiliate marketer comes down to a simple equation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Qualified traffic + great offer = enviable income.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is CPA Affiliate Marketing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
