CPA network
An affiliate network that pays per action: sale, lead, install, deposit. It aggregates offers from many advertisers, tracks conversions and pays affiliates on a schedule.
The network sits between advertisers and affiliates. Advertisers get one place to publish offers and one bill; affiliates get hundreds of offers, one tracking system and one payout. The network keeps a margin between what the advertiser pays and what the affiliate receives.
Most networks specialize: nutra, iGaming, dating, finance, mobile. Their reputation is mostly about paying on time and not shaving.
