CPA Networks

Knowing the players is as important
as knowing the game.

Who the Players Are

This is a small chunk of the affiliate network companies.

You're welcome to pursue relationships with others if you'd like / it's needed. These platforms probably represent >80% of the advertisers running CPA campaigns in the U.S. today, so it's unlikely you'll need to go elsewhere.

For our purposes, affiliate platforms are in three categories:

General B2C / B2B Products
(Including Software)

Digital-Only /
Software-Only Networks

  1. CJ
  2. FlexOffers
  3. Linkshare
  4. PepperJam
  5. ShareASale
  1. Avangate
  2. Cleverbridge
  3. DigitalRiver / OneNetwork
  4. Partnerize
    (formerly Performance Horizon)


The third category, Adult/Gaming, is outside the purview of Instant Audience; we'll ignore it.

If you start working with even a couple of these major networks, you'll be far ahead of where you are today in both the quality and quantity of advertisers you have in your magazine.
