Compare the payout model
Check whether the program pays a one-time amount, a percentage, or a recurring commission. Match the model to the audience and content you publish.
Check attribution terms
Cookie duration and network tracking affect whether a referral can be credited. Confirm current terms on the official advertiser page before applying.
Evaluate audience fit
A higher headline commission is not always the best option. Product relevance, price, geography and conversion intent matter too.
