Online Training : Top Sites Make Money Through CPA Affiliate Networks 2016/17

A CPA affiliate network is somewhat different from the affiliate networks listed above. However, you can see that almost all the affiliate networks listed above offers CPA programs and yet they were not classified as a “CPA Network”.The reason is pretty simple… an affiliate program on a CPA affiliate network never pays for clicks or impressions — but there are a lot of affiliate programs on CJ.com that pays for clicks (though it’s very rare).

Also, the primary goal of an affiliate program on a CPA affiliate network is to get a lead and the primary goal of an affiliate program on any other affiliate network is to get a sale. There’s a difference, eh?

On CPA affiliate networks, the advertisers pay for specific action. It can be sale, a survey, form submission, download, or anything that requires an action by the visitor so that it can be tracked and can be paid for.

That said, most of the CPA networks also offers a ton of CPL and CPS affiliate programs as well. It’s just that they are more recognized for their “CPA Offers”.

For instance, if I’m an advertiser and I have a “toolbar” to promote then the best platform could be a CPA network — and never a premium affiliate network like CJ.com, or ShareASale.com — to build a userbase in no time.

Again, if I’m a publisher who owns a high-traffic file sharing site then CPA affiliate programs should generate the maximum affiliate income (obviously, Google AdSense and CJ.com tends to deny such websites).

As all the CPA networks that I have cherry-picked are similar in nature, so I will just avoid the descriptions and make the list simpler.
