Pros and cons
Pros
- Broad reach, with 250,000 publishers and 12 of 93 on publisher count in this comparison.
- A reachable cash out point at £20, below the €43.85 median threshold across the networks listed here.
- A UK base and a trading record running back to 2005, useful for publishers planning a long term relationship.
Cons
- Support runs on email only, with no phone or live chat route listed.
- Balances under £20 wait, which suits established sites more than a new one with light traffic.
- Cookie windows in this ranking are short, since the median is 30 days, so long buying cycles earn less.
Who it suits
- Publishers who want to join a large network rather than a small roster.
- Sites that can reach £20 without waiting on a long payout cycle.
- Publishers who prefer a network run from the UK and trading since 2005.
Who should look elsewhere
- Publishers chasing the biggest network, since A8.net lists 3,726,707 publishers.
- Publishers after a lighter roster, since Admitad lists 100,000 against Webgains NL's 250,000.
- Publishors focused on one vertical, since AWEmpire sits in the casual dating tier with a threshold of $100.
Where it sits among rivals
On publisher count, Webgains NL ranks 12 of 93 here, near the front of the field. On the payout threshold it ranks 33 of 105, which fits a network that keeps the bar for cashing out low: this ranking rewards reach more than payout terms.
Frequently asked questions
How much do I need to earn before Webgains NL pays out?+
Publishers cash out once their balance reaches £20. That bar sits below the €43.85 median threshold across the networks compared here, so a smaller site can reach it without waiting on a large balance. Webgains NL ranks 33 of 105 on this measure.
How large is Webgains NL next to the other networks?+
The network lists 250,000 publishers, placing it at 12 of 93 on this measure. A8.net lists 3,726,707 and Admitad lists 100,000, so Webgains NL sits between the two on reach and below A8.net overall.
How do I get help from Webgains NL?+
Support is listed as email, so publisher questions go by email rather than by phone or live chat. A phone route is listed for 29.5% of the networks in this ranking, so an email only setup costs some publishers time.
How old is Webgains NL and where is it based?+
The network has run since 2005 and is headquartered in the UK. Age matters when you pick a network to build a long term relationship around, since platforms change and merge. Put the founding year next to newer entrants before you commit your traffic.
Does Webgains NL pay recurring commission?+
Recurring commission shows up on 45.7% of the networks in this ranking, and cost per action on 45.9%. With Webgains NL the model, the rate and any recurring element depend on the advertiser programme you sign up for, so read the terms per offer before you forecast.
How long are cookie windows in this category?+
The median cookie window in this ranking is 30 days, with 90 days at the top of the range. Long windows reward considered purchases, while short ones suit sites that drive sign ups. Cookie length is set per programme rather than across a network.
Should I pick Webgains NL or a smaller network?+
Admitad lists 100,000 publishers against Webgains NL's 250,000, so the choice turns on how much reach you want next to a £20 threshold. A larger roster gives more peers to compare notes with, and more programmes competing for the same audience.
