Pros and cons
Admitad
Pros
- Commission models run to cpa, cpl and cps, so a publisher can be paid per lead, per sale or on revenue share.
- A payout threshold of $20 keeps the entry bar low, ranking 24 of 105 on minimum payout.
- Payouts are weekly and can be taken through PayPal, check and wire transfer.
Cons
- Recurring commission is not offered, so each payment depends on a fresh conversion rather than renewals.
- Support runs on email and help centre only, with no phone line or live chat in the setup.
- A 30 day cookie window is shorter than the 60 day windows found across the wider set of programmes.
eSky Partners
Pros
- Direct access: direct means a publisher deals with eSky Partners itself, with CJ Affiliate named as the route in.
- A regular payout cycle, with commissions paid within 14 days monthly, which is easier to plan around than an ad hoc schedule.
- A 30 day window covers a reader who reads a guide and checks a fare before booking, the normal buying pattern in travel.
Cons
- The rate is capped at up to 10% per sale, well short of Divebooker Distribution Partner's 30% revenue share per liveaboard booking on liveaboard bookings.
- A 30 day window is the ordinary travel figure while travel programmes here reach 90 days, so late decisions credit elsewhere.
- Coverage is narrow, with travel as the only vertical, so a generalist site has no second category to promote from the same links.
Who each suits
Admitad
Who it suits
- Publishers who want CPA, CPL, CPS and revenue share available under a single account.
- Anyone starting small, since the $20 minimum payout is easy to reach with a new site.
- Publishers running across markets, because the network is listed as global.
Who should look elsewhere
- Publishers who need recurring commission: AWEmpire (LiveJasmin family, casual-dating tier) lists PPL, PPLR and PPS with recurring pay, and Admitad does not offer it at all.
- Publishers chasing live chat or phone support: Admitad runs on email and help centre only, so weigh a network such as A8.net if that matters to you.
- Publishers running a single offer who want the simplest possible setup: A8.net pays on cpa, which is all some campaigns need.
eSky Partners
Who it suits
- Publishers with converting travel traffic, since the offer covers travel only and rewards completed bookings.
- Anyone who wants a direct relationship with the advertiser: direct with CJ Affiliate as the named network.
- Audiences spread across several markets, because the offer is global rather than tied to a single market.
Who should look elsewhere
- Divebooker Distribution Partner readers who want a larger slice of each booking: it pays 30% revenue share per liveaboard booking.
- CashKaro readers after referral cashback: CashKaro pays 10% of friend's cashback, not commission on a travel booking.
- Publishers after a shopping offer rather than a travel one: Naver Shopping Connect pays Commission per sale or booking via link.
Questions about each
Admitad
Which commission models does Admitad pay on?+
Admitad pays on cpa, cpl and cps, so the same account can hold a cost per lead offer and a revenue share offer side by side. The model recorded for the programme is cpl. Publishers set the payout type per offer rather than accepting one rate sheet for everything.
What is the minimum payout, and how often are payments sent?+
The payout threshold sits at $20 and the minimum payout is listed at $20, so the bar for an early withdrawal is low. Payouts are weekly, which means a cleared balance does not sit idle for a full monthly cycle.
eSky Partners
What commission does eSky Partners pay?+
The programme pays up to 10% per sale for a completed sale, which is the headline rate rather than a guaranteed return on every link. The rate suits publishers with existing travel traffic, since volume and product mix decide the final take.
How long is the cookie window?+
Attribution runs for 30 days after a click, which is the common window for travel offers. A reader who compares fares and reads guides over several visits still credits, but a much later booking falls outside the window.
