Payout models: how the lists differ
Payout structure is the first filter. A8.net lists cpa as its only model, so an offer there pays on a single basis. 3SNET lists CPA, CPL and CPI, giving a publisher several choices, and Admitad lists cpa, cpl and cps, pairing action, lead and sales models with revenue share. AdCombo lists CPA, CPL and CPS and covers the same action, lead and sales ground without revenue share.
Click and impression pricing changes the shape of a deal. Adscod lists CPC, CPA and CPM, the only list in this group that includes CPM, and Adsterra lists cpa, cpc and cpm, a similar set. AdMarula lists cpa, cpc and cpl, which swaps the sales model for cost per click. A publisher weighing those two can start with the AdMarula review.
A longer list is not automatically a better deal. AdvertStar lists CPA, CPI and CPL and AdsMain lists CPA, CPL and CPS, so both offer lead, action and sales options, while Advidi lists cpa on its own. A narrow list is quicker to read and simpler to approve offers against; a wider one gives more room to move as traffic sources change.
Reach: reading the publisher counts
Publisher counts show how much of a market a network already works with. A8.net counts 3,726,707 publishers, and ACCESSTRADE Vietnam lists 1,500,000, putting both near the top of this group. 2Performant lists 106,127, and Admitad lists 100,000 while AdCombo lists 100,000.
The rest of the list runs from tens of thousands down to thousands. AdWork Media counts 50,000 publishers, Adsterra 16,000, Affiliaty.ma 10,000, AffiliatePort 8,000, Affmy 7,000, AdvertStar 5,000 and Advidi 5,000. Affiracle lists 3,000, Adrecord 1,000, and Adshqip 20.
A large count says nothing about what an offer pays. It points to a network with a big existing partner base, which usually means more competition for the same placements. Count and model list answer different questions, so a publisher should read both. The A8.net review and the AdCombo review pair wide reach with short model lists, which shows the split clearly.
Revenue share, hybrid and single-tier deals
Publishers chasing a recurring cut start with the lists that include revenue share. AdPick lists revshare and Affiliaty.ma lists revshare, both single-model, store-shaped offers. Affmy lists cpl, cps and revshare, adding lead and sales options to revenue share, and AffiliatePort lists cpa, cpl and revshare with a similar trio.
Ace Partners lists CPA, CPL and RevShare, and the hybrid entry there matters: a blended deal ties part of the payout to an action and part to revenue share, which changes what a publisher earns as a campaign matures. Admitad also carries revenue share in cpa, cpl and cps, while Admitad RU lists cpa and cpc without it.
AdultForce writes its payouts out in words at Revenue share, Pay per sign up and Pay per lead, covering revenue share, pay per sign up and pay per lead. Adrecord goes the other way, with single tier describing a single-tier structure, and the Adrecord review covers how that reads in day to day use.
Regional footprints and language splits
A single brand can run on separate sites per market. ACCESSTRADE lists cpa and ACCESSTRADE Indonesia lists cpa, both on a single action model, while ACCESSTRADE Vietnam lists 1,500,000 publishers. Advertise.ru lists cpa, cpl and cps, and Admitad RU lists cpa and cpc and counts 100,000 publishers.
Local specialists sit beside the global names. affi.co lists cpa and cpl on a narrow pair of models, and AdWork Media lists CPA while counting 50,000 publishers. A publisher with traffic from a single country only should check that a network runs a site for that market before reading payout terms, since the model lists differ from regional site to regional site.
A comparison routine that works
Read the model list first and cut anything that does not match how a site earns. Then check the publisher count to see whether network size helps a placement or crowds it. Third, confirm that the regional site and language match the traffic, and note where a parent network and its national site carry different model lists.
The affiliate network rankings set the group in order, and the individual reviews hold the detail behind each listing. The Admitad review and the Admitad RU review make the parent versus regional comparison easy to run, and the Ace Partners review covers a hybrid deal in detail.
