About aliencpa

aliencpa is an independent English-language magazine about affiliate marketing and paid traffic. We publish guides to traffic sources, analytics, fact-checked case studies and reviews of affiliate networks and tools, and we keep open catalogs of companies, agencies, people and conferences.

Who runs the magazine

aliencpa is run by the Lu Discover team. Its public editor, Lu Discover, is an affiliate media buying practitioner with more than 10 years in the industry, and approves every text before it goes live. Authors with hands-on media buying experience write with the editor, and the team grows together with the magazine. Meet the team below.

We sell nothing

We don’t sell courses, mentoring or “secret schemes”. We share our expertise for free because we grow the community: the more people see affiliate marketing as a real marketing profession — built on knowledge and experience, independent from any single company — the better the industry works for everyone in it.

Independent by design

• aliencpa isn’t tied to any other media, network or company. We have no stakes, partnerships or other interests in the companies we write about.
• The only commercial links in our texts are ordinary affiliate links, and we put them only on brands we tested and liked. See the affiliate disclosure.
• Sponsors can pay for clearly marked placements, but they can’t buy a rating, a verdict or a place in a top list.
• When a company is labelled “Caution: scam” or “Closed”, every link to it is switched off automatically.

Our culture

• We test things ourselves before we write about them. See how we test.
• We write plainly and show the numbers, the screenshots and the sources.
• We give both sides a voice when there is a conflict.
• We correct our mistakes openly. We try to stay objective, but we can make mistakes too: if you spot one, use “Report a mistake” under the article.
