Popup
Opens a new browser tab or window on top of the current page when a user clicks a link.
Designed to grab immediate attention, often used for urgent promotions or announcements.
Can be considered intrusive and may negatively affect user experience.
Popunder
Opens a full-size window behind the active browser window.
Remains hidden until the user closes or minimises the main window.
Generally seen as less intrusive compared to popups.
A sub-affiliate network acts as an intermediary between publishers (e.g. bloggers, website owners) and the main affiliate network.
Helps publishers monetise blogs or websites more easily through affiliate marketing.
Simplifies the setup process for smaller or less experienced publishers.
Instead of registering directly with the main affiliate network, publishers join through the sub-affiliate network, creating a second tier under the main program.
The sub-affiliate network manages earnings distribution to its publishers.
Adult/Pornographic/Gambling Content: Strictly disallowed.
Brand Bidding (Unless Specified): Using advertiser brand names in paid search without permission.
Always check the "Available Promotion Methods" section on each offer page before promoting. If your chosen method isn’t listed as “Allowed,” do not use it — even if it works for other offers.
