Affiliate Pay Per Click

 Affiliate Fuel
Affiliate Fuel is one of the smaller and most underestimated affiliate networks out there. Currently they offer around 130-150 different offers to choose from, most of which are highly converting and require no credit card. The majority of their offers are on either a cost per sale or cost per lead basis while they do offer some offers on a cost per click basis. While they have a rather limited number of available programs compared to some of the larger networks out there, the programs they do have tend to apply to a broad spectrum of internet users as well as tend to have high quality creatives including, banners, text e-mails, and html e-mails. Most of the programs in the network do not require further approval by affiliate program but, a select few do. Their site’s user interface is a bit odd with every section being named with some sort of automobile analogy but, once you figure out exactly what each section is it is highly intuitive and easy to surf around. Their statistical interface is clear, easy to use, and straightforward, and is updated typically every hour. One unique element of the statistics they keep is click to conversion rates and the average earning per click across the network which helps you see exactly which offers tend to convert well. They offer a banner ad rotator to ensure your ad space stays fresh. One of the nicer things about working with a smaller network like Affiliate Fuel is the human touch of the network. Each affiliate is assigned and affiliate manager and their customer service is excellent. There minimum check amount of $25 is great and they pride themselves on making payments on time. The only downside that I really see is that your site must have more than 1000 unique visitors a day and they only approve applications for sites in the USA and Canada, making an exception for sites in Western Europe and Australia whose traffic consists of 90% USA or Canadian. So if you have the right traffic levels, we’d definitely recommend this program for you!






 Fast Click


FastClick is a relatively young affiliate network that has quickly become one of the best performing networks. They pay on both a pay per click and pay per impression basis and give their members get back 65% of their total revenue! Their payments, via check or Paypal, are always prompt and accurate. They offer 468x60 banners, 120x600 skyscrapers, InVue ads, or pop-unders, which ensure that you can customize your programs to best fit your site. In addition, you get to choose exactly which campaigns are put into rotation. They have one of the most complete and easy to use stat reporting systems-complete with graphs! The only negative thing is the $50 minimum payment, which is a bit high. Other than that this is a great network that we highly recommend. 






Piramid Ads



PrimaryAds is a relatively new affiliate network that shows a strong potential to be a great source of income for your site. They are a medium sized network, offering 69 different programs (at the time of this publication). The majority of their programs pay on either a per sale or per lead basis; they do also offer pay per click programs.

One of PrimaryAds’s strengths is their commitment to supporting their affiliates. When you sign up to use the network, they assign you an ‘Affiliate Manager’, who can offer advice on which programs best match your site’s audience and which ones will convert the best for you. In addition, their customer service staff is very accessible, happy to help you and take your feedback and suggestions.

PrimaryAds is dedicated to bringing their affiliates the best commissions possible…and it shows. Their commission rates are fair and their programs tend to convert well. In addition to normal buttons, banners, and text links, they offer a co-registration program that makes it easy to add check boxes to your online forms and intergrate various programs into your signup forms.

The statistics they offer are pretty standard (impressions, clicks, leads, sales, EPC) and are presented in an easy, straightforward manner. In addition, they allow you to download in CSV (comma separated values) format your sale and lead information, which makes it easy to import into your favorite spreadsheet program.

It is fairly easy to be accepted as an affiliate to PrimaryAds. They only require 3000 unique page views per month, which is pretty easy to achieve for most sites. While they do accept international sites, the language of the site must be in English.

Overall, PrimaryAds is a great new affiliate network and is highly recommended for all sites, small or large.

This is a great, solid network for sites, big or small. There are so many options for webmasters that you are sure to find an advertising method that will fit well with your existing site. The only thing we can find that detracts from the site is their lack of real time stat tracking. They have a strong online stat menu, but the numbers are only updated every 24 hours.
