20+ years of affiliate experience
Affiliate marketing has traditionally been the quintessential form of performance advertising. You gather affiliates and pay them only when they bring you visitors, leads, and sales.
Simple enough, right?
And yet, affiliate marketing gets a bad rep in some circles. Why? Because the way it’s usually handled by advertisers or agencies is far cry from how it needs to be handled to produce true scale and success. What usually happens is this:
- Advertisers or agencies mismanage their publishers needs due to inexperience or previously shady experiences.
- Agencies overcharge to push their own networks and agendas, thus resulting in lower scale or quality from publishers.
- Fancy “results” cover up brand dilution and terrible targeting, actually resulting in a big mess on the long run.
We’re here to help. We have proprietary technology and an overly experienced affiliate management team that has been tried and tested. We know how to identify the right publishers for your company and work with you to help them scale responsibly without sacrificing the quality of their traffic.

The traps of affiliate marketing
The main problem with affiliate is that it looks easier than it seems, so people abuse it and do it wrong.
Indeed, even novices can getting traffic and sales without much effort:
- By design, ad creative, scheduling and targeting are all outside the advertiser’s control, so there’s no apparent heavy lifting to be done;
- Since success simply means “action” vs. “no action,” you don’t need complex media buying experience and data science.
But affiliate marketing done right is actually quite challenging, and the key challenge being optimizing your campaign for long-term success without fraud or dips in quality. In the long run, the number of sales or installs matters little if they’re made via shady websites or apps that dilute the brand or mask fraudulent traffic as real traffic.

Beyond affiliate program management
Not all affiliate management agencies were made equal. In fact, many of them are the reason for the bad rep affiliate marketing gets.
Despite the performance nature of affiliate marketing, the way agencies work is still largely a black box:
- They get to choose their own affiliate partners and channels, and push their agendas
- Their commissions or fees don’t take into account your long-term goals and objectives
- They don’t monitor sophisticated affiliate performance metrics, instead relying on “vanity” CPA stats and prices.
