Our verdict
LinkHaitao runs on cps and cpa and suits publishers who want a light, self-serve network based in Hong Kong. Earnings clear at CNY 100 and payouts go out monthly before the 20th, so it fits marketers happy to wait for a monthly cycle and read results in the platform's own reporting.

Pros and cons
Pros
- platform tracking and reporting keeps clicks, conversions and earnings visible inside the network.
- A base of 30,000 publishers, and an operator named as HONG KONG SHOPBUX TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT CO., LIMITED in its terms.
- Founded in 2014, it has the operating history to judge payouts against newer entrants.
Cons
- Support runs on email and help centre, so no live chat or phone line is listed.
- The CNY 100 minimum is above the €43.85 typical across the networks we compare, so a first payout takes longer to reach.
- Revenue share does not appear in cps and cpa, so publishers after a share of sales need a different network.
Who it suits
- Publishers who want a single place for tracking and payouts, with platform tracking and reporting built in.
- Publishers after a network with its base in HK and a named operating company.
- Anyone who can plan around CNY 100 before the first payment and a monthly cycle.
Who should look elsewhere
- Publishers hunting revenue share or pay per lead deals, since AWEmpire (LiveJasmin family, casual-dating tier) runs PPL, PPLR and PPS while LinkHaitao pays on cps and cpa.
- Publishers who want lead and revenue share models as well, because Admitad lists cpa, cpl and cps.
- Anyone after a CPA only programme, since A8.net lists cpa as its model and LinkHaitao also carries cps and cpa.
Where it sits among rivals
On minimum payout, LinkHaitao ranks 20 among the 105 networks we compare, and on publisher count it ranks 42 of 93. Mid table on both measures, it is neither the cheapest to run nor the widest reach on our list, so weigh it as a steady middle option rather than an outlier at either end of the range.
Getting paid
Payouts run monthly before the 20th once commission passes the CNY 100 threshold. The schedule is fixed rather than on demand, so the practical planning point is a single monthly date that earnings must clear beforehand. Anyone starting from a small balance should treat the first cycle as a wait, not a payday.
Frequently asked questions
What commission models does LinkHaitao pay on?+
LinkHaitao pays on cps and cpa, so a publisher can choose a sale based payout or an action based one. Revenue share is not in that set, which is the clearest gap against larger networks. Money is paid on a set monthly cycle, so the model choice matters more than the timing.
How much commission do I need before LinkHaitao pays out?+
The threshold is CNY 100, and anything under that sits in the balance until the next run. Compared with the networks on our list, where the typical minimum is €43.85, this is a higher bar for a new account. Plan for the wait before judging the programme.
How often does LinkHaitao pay publishers?+
Payouts run monthly before the 20th, a fixed monthly rhythm rather than an on demand release. Anything earned after a run waits for the next cycle, so cash flow planning matters most for smaller balances. The schedule is worth weighing against your own earning pattern before you send it traffic.
How do I track clicks and conversions in LinkHaitao?+
Everything happens in the platform itself, through platform tracking and reporting, with activity, clicks and earnings reported in a single place. That keeps checking simple, though you would still want your own analytics for traffic quality and placement tests.
What support does LinkHaitao offer?+
Support runs on email and help centre, meaning written answers by email plus a help centre for self service questions. Live chat and phone lines are not listed. For anything urgent, such as a payment that has not arrived, the documented route is email.
Who runs LinkHaitao and where is it based?+
The network is based in Hong Kong, and the operating company named in its terms is HONG KONG SHOPBUX TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT CO., LIMITED. It has been running since 2014, which gives you something to weigh the payout terms against when comparing newer entrants.
Is LinkHaitao a good fit for a new publisher?+
For a new publisher the setup is easy to read: cps and cpa, a CNY 100 threshold and a monthly payout run. The trade-off is patience, since the first payment has to clear both the threshold and the cycle. Steady traffic suits it better than a single burst of link clicks.
