Foreign affiliate programs. Foreign affiliate networks. American CPA affiliate programs
Foreign networks of affiliate programs combine hundreds and thousands of affiliate programs, allowing you to receive consolidated payments from many advertisers. The latter can pay for transitions (clicks), registrations and sales. For Russian sites, and even English-language sites created by Russians, not all affiliate program networks are available. I was able to register with the following affiliate networks:
- VigLink[payment received ] - this service allows you to enjoy all the benefits of affiliate networks using just one account, without joining countless advertisers. Instead, you simply place the code on the page of your site, after which the links are replaced with advertising ones automatically. At the same time, the service is able to replace not only links, but also product names with advertising links with them. VigLink gives 75% of earnings to webmasters. But due to the large volume of transactions, VigLink has an increased commission percentage, which is only achievable with large volumes. Therefore, using VigLink can be even more profitable than using direct advertising links. Payments are made monthly via PayPal (no minimum). Website in English.
- LinkShare [payment received ]
- a good American network of affiliate programs (part of the Rakuten group of companies).
1) LinkShare allows you to earn commissions by posting a banner or text link. More than 500 advertisers offer to place their advertisements.
2) Registration in LinkShare is free.
There are practically no programs that pay for clicks. There are many programs that pay for sales and registrations.
Makes consolidated payments from all advertisers (i.e., what is earned from all advertisers is summed up and you can receive one check). - FlexOffers [payment received ]

- RegNow [payment received ]
- a network of affiliate programs that allows you to earn money from advertising software. It’s not very suitable for the Russian audience, but foreign buyers are quite ready to use this service to purchase software. Unlike many other areas, selling software usually pays quite high commissions (usually 30-40%), so you can really make good money. For little activity, the account is deleted very quickly and without warning.
You can receive a check when you accumulate $25. The last amount can be increased to at least $10,000. Earned money can also be received in the USD or EUR wallet of the Russian payment system WebMoney.ru, by bank transfer or to a Visa Electron debit card. The site is entirely in English. The company is very reliable and sends payments to Russia (in particular, I have already received more than 20 checks and bank transfers). - Digital River oneNetwork 2.0 [payment received ] - a network of affiliate programs that allows you to earn money from software advertising. OneNetwork's advertisers include: Symantec, Computer Associates, Pinnacle, Roxio and many others. It is practically unsuitable for the Russian audience, but foreign buyers are quite ready to use this service to purchase software. For the sale of software, well-known brands usually pay 10-20%, the rest, as a rule, 30-40%.
Commission Junction [payment received ]
- this is one of the best ways making money on banners for the webmaster of an English-language site (although Russian-language sites also achieved good results). This network affiliate programs are an intermediary of a large number of advertiser companies (merchants, advertisers), and they are usually of a very high level. Like other foreign brokers, it is aimed mainly at an English-speaking audience. Payment depending on the advertiser - for registrations and (or) sales.
When registering, it is advisable to have an English-language website, as well as a second-level domain, otherwise registration is not guaranteed. Adult sites and sites lacking at least some content are not accepted.
CJ has worked with all countries of the world. Thanks to cheaters, CJ works with Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, and even the Czech Republic, Zimbabwe, Uruguay, Vanuatu, Albania, but does not work with Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. Perhaps, the only way registering there now means buying an old account. Although the latter is risky.
Residents of the USA, Canada and Great Britain can receive their earnings via bank transfer. The rest have to be content with checks.
Payments are made monthly upon accrual of $25 (although this minimum can be increased to $50, $75, $100, $250). The company is really very reliable and sends payments to Russia (in particular, during my work since 2000, I have already received more than 40 checks and bank transfers).
The disadvantage is that if you are inactive for a very long time, namely, do not earn anything, a certain amount begins to be deducted from your account every month. So try to have at least one paid purchase/registration every 1-2 months.
The site is completely on English language.
Fraudsters among affiliate program aggregators (affiliate networks, advertising brokers)
- ShareASale- this affiliate network initially alerted many low-quality advertisers. But some of them were decent, so I started working with them. Everything was fine until I saved up the $500 needed to get paid. After that, the network blocked my account without paying a penny. At the same time, it was stated that part of my site is in Russian, and therefore cannot be verified by the administration. It didn’t even help that advertising links were placed only on the English-language part of the site. IN this moment the company still accepts webmasters whose sites are exclusively in English. The company completely ignores the fact that many advertisers are interested in traffic other than English, so they are losing customers.
- Affili.net- this German network of affiliate programs did not arouse any suspicion at first. But after a while the account was simply blocked. It turned out that they require that the owner's address be present on the site. They refer to German legislation, but it obviously applies to German sites. My site was aimed at Russia and other CIS sites and did not contain German language. All negotiations were useless. I added an address to the site, but for months the link did not generate income. Then I had to replace all the links with new ones. After some time, the site was blocked again. It turned out that anyone who copied my articles, in the opinion of the employees of this network, should also indicate their address. How I should control who copies what and how remains a mystery. But the most interesting thing is that they not only blocked the account, but also did not pay the income. Pure fraud.
- OffersQuest- a small network of affiliate programs. The commission level on the network was pleasing compared to Commission Junction. For some time the payment was received successfully. But at one point I was unable to log into my account. It was not possible to resend the password. Numerous requests sent to support were simply ignored.
- clixGalore- a network with small advertisers. I especially liked the 2-level affiliate program. But this network receives complaints from both advertisers and webmasters. My site was also blocked without explanation.

If you “wander” on the Internet, you can find many new ones and not always understandable words. Among them is the English abbreviation of CPA network or affiliate program. Everyone who makes money online or is just starting out on this path knows it for sure. CPA networks - what is it and how to work with it?
What are CPA networks?
In short, this is a kind of exchange, system, or, more simply, an intermediary between an advertiser and a person who can bring clients. Most often this is an online store and the owner of a website with big amount visitors.
- goods;
- promotional offers;
- “fresh” discount coupons;
- information about a big sale.
CPA affiliate networks contain information about a huge number of products in various fields that need to be sold. Thanks to such an exchange, there is no need to look for the store owner, try to contact him and build relationships. Everything is open access and as automated as possible.
How it works?
And yet, CPA networks - what are they and how to work with them? In the vast majority of cases, the system pays for certain actions on the part of the client. It can be:
- registration on the site;
- ordering goods;
- its payment;
- call to a specific number;
- installing a program or application;
- following a specific link.
The task of a person who wants to earn money is to “force” the visitor to do the specified action. If this happens, the system will pay a percentage of the cost or a set commission. The list of CPA networks is quite large, and each has its own percentages and established rules.
For example, in some you pay 30% of the cost of the product, in others a fixed amount for registering or installing a product. Before starting your activity in this direction, it is worth familiarizing yourself with all the conditions and nuances of each exchange separately.
Basic Concepts
The first thing a beginner will encounter is simply a huge number of terms and concepts. All professionals communicate in a certain language. To ask a question and understand the answer to it, you need to understand what we are talking about.
Traffic. A certain number of visitors or flow, or mass. There is also the concept of “driving traffic,” which means directing visitors and potential clients to some address, mostly to another site.
Arbitration. This concept was introduced by CPA networks, what is it? The process of "acquiring" a certain number of visitors to one site and redirecting them to another for the purpose of making a profit.
Lead. This is the name given to a person who followed a link and performed a certain action.
Hold time. Due to the “cheating” of leads by some dishonest comrades, a verification time has been introduced into the system. Violation of the rules of the exchange may lead to the fact that the payment will not be made, and those who have distinguished themselves will be blacklisted and will no longer be able to cooperate at all.
Profit. Translated from English it means earnings, profit.
Offer. Affiliate program or offer to earn money.
CPA as a type of business
The best CPA networks provide the opportunity to earn money for all participants. On the one hand, the customer receives a profit from the sale of a product or service, on the other, the contractor receives his percentage for attracting, and on the third, the exchange, which takes its “modest” commission.
Many people, having tried this type of income, left offline work and completely switched to CPA affiliates. To be successful you need to have at least one of two things:
- Own website with a large number of visitors.
- Ability to create high-converting advertisements.
The first method is more popular. It requires less time and effort, but the results may not be obtained immediately. The second allows you to get almost instant results. But you need to have creativity and strong marketing skills.
Traffic for CPA
The main task of the performer is to attract as much as possible more traffic, and even better, they should be people interested in the product being offered. There are quite a lot of paid and free methods, but they all have their advantages and disadvantages.
1) Own site. This could be a group on a social network or a personal website. On the one hand, creating such a platform requires certain knowledge and a lot of time at the beginning. On the other hand, after creation and promotion, it begins to generate passive income with minimal participation from the creator.
2) Announcements on free resources. There are a lot of sites, forums and news portals who are ready to place an advertisement for free or almost free of charge. The advantage is that there are really a lot of such resources. The downside is a lot of manual work with no guarantee of results.
3)Banner. If you place an attractive or intriguing banner where there are a lot of potential customers, it can have an amazing effect. You can, of course, directly contact the owners of Internet resources, but it is better to register with special exchanges. This will significantly save time and nerves.
4) Teasers. The obvious advantage is the large amount of traffic. Disadvantage - it is not suitable for all offers. It is better to use for “feminine” products. You also need to know many subtleties and rules of teaser advertising.
6) Social media. Given the popularity social networks, it would be extremely unwise to miss this place. The main thing is to interest users and offer a truly worthwhile product. They will do the rest themselves. There are special organizations that offer services to promote a group or a specific product at once.
Rating of the best CPA networks
Beginners often ask the question: “CPA networks - what are they, and which affiliate programs are better?” If you read the descriptions of each system, they all praise themselves and tell you what riches you can earn with them. But in reality it turns out that this is not always true. To learn more about CPA networks, the ranking of the best is presented below.
Admitad- a fairly large affiliate program in which you can find products from many online stores, online games, services of some banks and travel organizations. Offers great functionality and detailed instructions for both beginners and experienced users.
"Where is the elephant?" - this affiliate network can easily be considered one of the best and largest. Can offer a large number of tools for working with the system, including CSV and XML upload. It also boasts its own plugin for Wordpress (an engine for blogging on the Internet).
ActionPay- the main difference between this CPA network, whose rating does not lag behind those already presented, is the presence of its own banking system. Otherwise, this is a good affiliate program that offers a huge number of offers.
ActionAds- offers a very large range of offers from various fields. Quite often in this affiliate program you can find very profitable offers that are not available anywhere else.
Foreign CPA networks
On the domestic Internet, this type of cooperation is actively gaining momentum. And here foreign CPA networks, whose rating is simply huge, have been allowing you to earn very good profits for a long time. Among the best and most reliable are:
Affiliatecube. Most webmasters work with this platform. The range of offers is almost impossible to list in full. There are topics for all countries. Despite the English-speaking administration, there is support for Russian-speaking users.
Clickbank. The affiliate program, which operates in the CIS, offers foreign goods at “delicious” prices. The only caveat is the payment of earned funds. This can be done either by check to an address or to a card that will meet certain requirements.
PaydayMansion. The main and only niche of this network is the conversion of financial traffic. The system specializes in small loans, which are very easy to obtain. Today it is a fairly profitable niche and a promising direction.
Features of working for foreign CPAs
In addition to well-established work and proven mechanisms, foreign affiliates work with English, which has long become international. Almost all affiliate programs that operate today have an impeccable reputation and reliability.
Some advantages of working with foreign CPAs:
- the audience is several times larger than the domestic one;
- the system offers thousands of truly profitable offers;
- profit figures are approximately equal to Russian ones, only the currency is dollars;
- hundreds of offers to earn money.
The future of CPA networks
Existing CPA networks offer a very promising opportunity to make money on goods and services that you don’t even need to produce. If you look at the latest statistics, the growth rate is increasing every year.
This allows us to say that affiliate programs of this kind will only grow and develop, which means that you can make very good money by cooperating with them. If you start now, you can still occupy a free niche, but after that it will be extremely problematic.

Features of working for foreign CPAs
Foreign CPAs affiliate networks no less than domestic ones, they overwhelm everyone with work. This method of earning money is chosen by a huge number of webmasters for good reason; there is a lot of money in this niche, and many different mechanisms have been developed to earn it. Just like Russian CPA networks, foreign ones have a huge variety of services and products on the Internet.
The main feature of American CPA affiliate programs is that they work all over the world, unlike Russian ones. They are quite organized and incredibly developed. This is also due to language capabilities; English has become a universal language of communication. In addition, you can work for American CPAs in various formats:
- with payment for certain actions;
- with payment for installations;
- for paid leads;
- on the sale of services and goods using mobile and web traffic.
American affiliate networks more reliable than Russian ones, this is confirmed by the duration of operation of these networks and their reputation.
Advantages of working on American affiliate programs:
- a huge audience, many times larger than the Russian one;
- earnings offers are calculated in hundreds of units;
- earnings of the same amounts of money as in Russian CPAs, only in dollars;
- thousands of offers.
American CPA affiliate programs
This network is the main one for earning money among foreign sites with an incredible number of offers. There are a lot of different topics for all countries: loans for the USA and European countries, dating, adult, products of various profiles, offers for vaptraf, etc.
Administration is carried out in English with Russian-language support. Different offers have different access levels (trust-level) and are carried out through support. The minimum withdrawal amount is $100.
Already working in Russian spaces, as well as in Ukraine. There are a lot of offers, especially American ones. Payments are made by check, which is sent by mail to the address specified during registration. You can deposit money into a bank deposit account. In order to be able to receive earned funds, the user’s account must comply with the CDR (Customer Distribution Requiremen) - the requirements for clients involved in distribution.
ClickBank will refuse payment of any invoices until the account meets the following requirements:
- sales must be paid for with a minimum of 5 different credit card numbers;
- sales must be made in any two ways through: MasterCard, PayPal, Visa, Direct Debit.
If these conditions are met, money will be withdrawn automatically in accordance with the settings. The minimum withdrawal amount is $25.
Another attractive new CPA affiliate program. It has Russian functionality for converting American financial traffic. This traffic is among the most expensive and most profitable.
Here the offer has a narrow specialization, which is focused on short-term loans for Americans - short-term loans up to $1,000 without documents for American citizens.
This is a very profitable niche, primarily because there are no Russian offers of this type yet. You can quickly apply for money without leaving your home and receive it just as quickly.
Registration in PaydayMansion is carried out by invite, moderation of new accounts takes place in manual mode. Many options for draining traffic and excellent promotional materials. There is a referral system.
Payments twice a month, minimum withdrawal amount: for Epese and WebMoney - $100, for Wire Bank Transfer - $1000.
Registration in a foreign CPA network requires confirmation of identity and phone number. Many affiliate programs require work experience; they call registering partners and conduct surveys. If you want to work on bourgeois CPA networks, you don’t need to be afraid of calls if you have at least some knowledge of English. If you have experience working on domestic networks, working on foreign ones will also not be difficult. The differences between them are not significant.
