Linkby review

Linkby pays on the cpc model, so what counts is a click rather than a lead, a sale or a share of revenue. Advertiser fees of Recommended CPC $1.50, minimum $1 set what brands are told to bid, which hints at what a click is meant to be worth. The listed model carries no revenue share or recurring element.

Support runs on email, so email is the listed route for questions about campaigns, tracking or payments. There is no listed phone line or live chat to fall back on when a campaign breaks mid-flight, so keep your questions and answers in writing.

Tracking runs on Third-party tracking via affiliate networks. Credit for a click is therefore confirmed by external affiliate network infrastructure rather than by a tracker Linkby runs itself, so ask how that reporting is reconciled with your own analytics before you scale spend on a campaign.

The contracting entity is LINKBY PTY LTD, and the head office sits in Australia. Linkby was founded in 2020, so it is a young operation: read the advertiser roster and the campaign terms in writing before you commit traffic.

Linkby lists 600 publishers, well under the 30,000 median for the programmes listed here. On publisher count it sits at 87 out of 93, so treat it as a smaller network than the generalists.

It depends on what you want paid for. Linkby runs on cpc, while Admitad pays on cpa, cpl and cps, so a publisher who wants a choice of models has more room at Admitad. A publisher who wants clicks credited through Third-party tracking via affiliate networks can stay with Linkby.

The offer score is 0.7 and the overall score is 0.7. Both parts match, so the rating rests on the pay structure itself, which is why the commission model and the advertiser fee are the first things to read.
