What are affiliate programs in 2022?
Today we will look at the top affiliate programs and try to unbiasedly decide which network is the most convenient and understandable for an affiliate marketer.
We will review the example of top affiliate programs:
Anticipating the hatred and burnout of those who have been working “with” and “in” these affiliate programs for a long time, let’s say that all these CPAs are proven market players and we in no way want to single out and advertise someone. This review is only the author's opinion of the journalists of the public "Overheard by Webmaster & Arbitration".
1. Ease of registration and authorization
Since the theater begins with a hanger, then any affiliate program begins with registration. Go!
Everad ( +1 )
The registration block is hidden in the login block tab in the upper right corner of the landing, everything is extremely clear and simple, logging in on a mobile phone is convenient and comfortable, just like on a desktop.

The registration block is hidden in the login block tab in the upper right corner of the landing, everything is extremely clear and simple, logging in on a mobile phone is convenient and comfortable, just like on a desktop. There is one unpleasant detail in UX - you can log in using Google or Vkontakte, but when registering, you cannot use accounts from there. Perhaps then it is worth removing them?
M1 Shop ( -1 )
Registration takes place through the anchor button, you just need to enter your login and mail, and then confirm the account by mail, it all looks like hello from 2010. Tired entry window, which has been crying for a long time redesign.
Kma ( -1 )
Registration takes place through a button that opens a popunder with a bunch of fields, it all looks like hello from 2010. Tired entry window, which has been crying for a long time redesign.
Lucky Online ( 0 )
Registration takes place through a button that opens a separate page in the same window. We found it inconvenient.
2. Interface of the affiliate program
After registration, it is important that the affiliate immediately, without wasting time, quickly figured out how to select a specific offer and create a stream.
Everad ( 0 )
The site architecture is simple and intuitive, except that you can delve into the list of offers only when setting specific filters, since the preview of offers looks cumbersome. It didn't take long to create the stream, as selectable options are added in stages.
Offerrum ( +1 )
Simple and user-friendly interface, the list of offers is easily filtered by category. And here we see a feature that I have not encountered before in other paragraphs. We are given a choice of 4 “themes”. Such variability, in my opinion, simplifies the transition of affiliates from other systems to OFFERRUM , since 3 out of 4 topics just repeat the interfaces of other PPs. After connecting the offer of interest, a proposal to create a stream immediately appears in its description.
M1 shop ( -1 )
A very minimalistic interface, instead of the main page with the main info, it immediately transfers to the stat, which will obviously be empty if you just registered. There was no separate tab for streams, but in the drop-down menu “offers” there is a view of the received links.
KMA ( +1 )
Easy-to-use interface, in the displayed list of offers, you can immediately go to the flow creation menu by setting the necessary parameters.
Lucky online ( -1 )
The visual component in general is quite pleasant, however, I did not find any “news” tab. After choosing the right offer, I encountered the fact that the stream creation menu is overloaded with many empty windows to fill in tracking tags, which will not be used every time the stream is created.
4. Convenience of statistics
Everad ( +1 )
A fairly convenient summary, which includes a large number of parameters and options for grouping the results. Separately, the ability to view analytics is exposed.
Offerrum ( +1 )
The interface includes everything you need, even grouping the received stats by hours, filters regulate the display on the same page, without unnecessary transitions and downloads, in the action tab you can see the current comments of operators on pending leads.
M1 shop ( -1 )
A fairly minimalistic design, everything seems to be at hand, but filtering through additionally loading tabs seemed to me not convenient enough.
KMA ( +1 )
Includes two subsections with a common filter, summary statistics with many convenient tabs for grouping
as well as a separate stat with a list of incoming leads, which seemed to me a fairly convenient solution for tracking.
Lucky online ( - 1 )
Again, for my taste, there is a pile of windows with groupings and labels that could be made more compact.
5. Payouts
Everad ( -1 )
Payments are made daily, usually in the evening. The minimum payout amount is 3,000 rubles (you won’t attract beginners like that). There are no extensions. Of course, there is a hold in the system, which depends on the volume of traffic and the selected offer.

The presence of a personal hold, which decreases (and then turns off), if the quality of the traffic is at the level.

6. Speed of response in tickets
Everad ( - 1 )
You often have to wait days for a support response, answers can be monosyllabic, and tickets are closed without a proper solution.
Offerrum ( +1 )
In less than 20 minutes I received exhaustive answers to all my questions, respect, promptly and efficiently.
M1 shop ( +1 )
Relatively prompt support responses, all the necessary information was provided upon request, the nuances were explained
KMA ( - 1 )
As a rule, you have to wait about a day for a response, and instead of information, the employee sends to various links instead of simply providing data. Carelessly.
Lucky online ( - 1 )
It took more than 26 hours to answer an elementary question. Communication is reluctant, specialists are discarded with links or told to write to the manager, who can also answer in a day. Some tickets have not been answered at all.
5. Reputation
For comparison, we will take as a basis the average values of several well-known services with a rating, as well as a brief description of the networks (it will not go into the overall standings):
Everad (7.4)
A vertically integrated company with its own R&D, its own offers, author's promotions, its own CC and its own logistics. Thanks to the expertise in the inside of the vertical and the control of all processes, the affiliate program creates popular offers that convert promos and provides a good approval.
Offerrum (8.3)
A recognized leader and one of the top players in the cash on delivery market. Within the framework of the service, a large number of different offers from all existing verticals are presented, including more than 100 exclusive ones available only to OFFERRUM partners. We did not take into account the reviews about the ad1 project, as the company no longer exists, and some of the employees moved to the GMBL.NG game project
M1 shop ( 7.8 )

7. Bottom line
Here is how the places in our TOP were distributed:
5th place
Kma
Nothing particularly distinguishes the network from the background of its competitors, rather average indicators for all comparative characteristics.
4th place
M1 shop
Over the considerable time of its presence on the market, the affiliate network has periodically lost its reputation, but it is also considered relevant for starting arbitration activities. A sufficient set of offers and categories allows you to choose the right product for your advertising company.
3rd place
Lucky Online
The network relies on its own round-the-clock call center and exclusively author's offers. In some cases, you can find profitable bundles, but in case of serious changes in the market, it will not be easy to switch to another PP.
2nd place
Everad
Affiliate program that prioritizes author's promotions, own CC and personal logistics. For a number of webbusters, this scenario is suitable, but the products will need to be thoroughly tested before getting to a good profit.
1 place
A fairly convenient system for both beginners and experienced affiliates, the simplest and most multifunctional interface, with features that other affiliate programs on the market do not have, for example, the ability to choose a design theme that is convenient for each. Round-the-clock support, promptly answers any questions that arise, both on working with the system and on arbitration questions (checked by the question about fb cloaking), they advise, including through the telegram bot, consideration of early deadlines as soon as possible. A large list of offers from various categories, a tasty showcase of prizes.
