How to create your own affiliate network in the traffic arbitrage niche and not go broke? Where to get the engine, what employees to hire, where to look for advertisers and webmasters? All information in the blog!
As an arbitrage techie to the bone, who single-handedly created the AlterCPA Pro affiliate network engine, I have a deep understanding of processes. I often laugh at how affiliates perceive and try to solve problems, creating another cargo cult. Myths on one of these problems I will destroy today. And let’s talk about malicious software – the simplest mistake in Google advertising campaigns.
There is a topic in our community that is rarely discussed among the masses and remains the lot of smoking rooms and kitchens. Conferences. Are they needed at all in 2023? Who cares to go there? What to expect? How to behave correctly? What goals to set and how to achieve them?
How to determine in five minutes that you are opening a stillborn affiliate program? Very often, a couple of minutes of communication with a future businessman is enough to understand that his project is already dead, at the stage of conception. Given that I have a platform for affiliate networks, I have been communicating with this audience very often over the past several thousand days. The eye is trained, the conclusions are made, and today I will share them here.
Why a huge part of traffic arbitrage is gray niches: gambling, crypto, nutra, dating, adult? The answer is pretty obvious. There is a lot of money in these verticals. Huge demand, large invoices and payments allow you to give more dollars to the partner who brought the client. However, there is a niche that is not inferior either in demand, or in the size of invoices, or in marginality. She is completely white and fluffy. This is the vertical of finance.
In previous articles, we figured out how to open an affiliate program using gambling, crypto and nutra. Let’s talk about dating today. Why is it possible to fall into the creation of a dating affiliate network only with great experience? This vertical is very controversial. On the one hand, there is very cheap traffic and low fees. On the other hand, there are a lot of offers and a lot of money with the right work. But my position is simple: if you don’t have specific experience in dating, it’s better to open an affiliate program in another vertical. The same gambling or nutra for relative beginners is just that.
As part of this series of articles, we have already discussed gambling and crypto. The rubric is designed to help novice affiliate program creators understand the intricacies and peculiarities of creating such a specific business in different verticals. Nutra is an extremely interesting thing, and the affiliate network also works under special conditions. I think even guys with experience will get useful theses and thoughts from today’s material.
In the previous part of this series, we talked about launching our affiliate program in the gambling vertical, you can read it here. Today we will plunge into a completely different industry – crypto. There are a lot of features for creating an affiliate network in this niche. But, like gamble, crypto is an extremely monetary vertical and any mother moneymaker can envy the income of even medium-sized affiliate programs.
If someone thinks that an affiliate program in gambling is at least somewhat similar to an affiliate program in shopping or sweepstakes, you are greatly mistaken. These are radically different businesses, different partners, different problems. Let’s take a look at how to search for offers and attract affiliates.
We continue the topic, how affiliate networks can protect the contacts of its direct adverts. In this article I will tell you how to technically implement the described methods.

I have already told you how you can find the contact of almost any direct advert in the cryptocurrency vertical through an autologin link. It’s time to find ways to protect yourself. Affiliate networks try to hide the contacts of their advertisers, otherwise some of the affiliates will stop sending traffic through the affiliate program, or competitors, having received the contacts of the advertiser, can connect it to themselves.
