To Contents ↑Where to find highly-rewarding affiliate offers?
After you sign in, the Network redirects you to the main page of your account. It’s the Offers page where you can look through all public offers, filter, save them, and get links to use in your advertising campaign.
First, check the filters available. They allow for the fastest offer search. You can select offers by:
- Vertical
- GEO
- Offer tags (exclusive, private*, new, top)
- Conversion type (CPL, CPI, CPA, Revshare)
- Offer ID
Select multiple items from each filter list, but make sure you remove the unnecessary ones when you don’t need them. Click RESET FILTERS to return to the default offers’ set.
How to get offers from the CPA Network
Read through the descriptions and select the offer you think you will succeed with. With public offers, you get the link to advertise immediately. Let’s dive a bit deeper.
Click the GET OFFER button on any public offer and look through the requirements.
First, check the general information and read through the restrictions. Here you can also look at the offer’s preview, find whether it comes with a pre-lander or not if you’re allowed to add creatives or not. Vital is the conversion flow you will need to comply with to get paid. It may be pretty simple as an app install or “1-click”, or rather complex like a deposit.
On the vertical Geos and Goals tab, you see how much the advertiser is ready to pay for conversions and what type of conversion you are going to deal with.
You also see the list of GEOs whose traffic is accepted. With multiple GEOs allowed, you can see the payouts differ from country to country.
After clicking on the GET LINK button, you can copy the offer’s link to start advertising on your traffic source.
* While public offers are available instantly, private offers may require some additional confirmation. After you click the GET LINK button from the Offers page, you’ll see a REQUEST FOR A LINK button below the offer’s description. That’s how you can apply. Usually, applications are reviewed within an hour, but sometimes you will need to wait a bit longer. Our managers may ask you to provide:
1. Creatives2. Traffic sources
3. Ad unit
4. GEO
5. Device format
6. The image that will be used itself
IMPORTANT: To receive a faster approval, just paste this information in the online chat (the icon in the right lower corner of the screen) after requesting a private offer link.
But generally, affiliate marketers won’t just take the link and start driving traffic. They use tracking systems to manage all conversions and control spending. Thus, they operate with Postback URLs and tracking tokens. Affiliates also profit from backlinks that protect them from budget losses. Let’s take a look at those parameters a bit closer.
To Contents ↑URL parameters, Postback and Backlink URLs
URL parameters
Right under the direct link, you see four empty fields. Although one can copy the offer’s URL without adding any parameters, those who use trackers will definitely need them.
You should take the ‘click_id’ parameter from your tracker and paste it to the first field. This one is a must for conversion tracking as it sends information about users’ clicks.
Trackers have unique names for “click_id” parameters; you will encounter “sid,” “subID,” “click_id,” “cid,” and all sorts of variations. So first off, find out how your tracker defines the “click_id” and then paste the parameter into the first field.
Once done, you will need to copy and paste your offer’s link with the “click id” added to your tracking system.
Now let’s scroll down till the Postback URL settings.
Postback URLs
Postback URLs allow for informing your tracker about each new conversion. When the conversion fires, postbacks send this data to your tracking system. This is vital for keeping your spending and revenues under control.
To work with the Adsterra CPA offers, you will first need to generate the Postback URL on your tracker and paste it, adding “=##S2S##” token after the “click_id.” You already have the “click_id” value copied from your tracker by this time. Now just paste it as is adding “=##S2S##”
Here is an example. This could be a Postback URL taken from your tracking system.
https://tracker.com/832/postback?subid=clickid&payout=payout
You will need to manually replace “clickid” with “##S2S##”, just like that:
https://tracker.com/832/postback?subid=##S2S##If you want to track payouts, add “##PAYOUT##” to the Postback URL.
https://tracker.com/832/postback?subid=##S2S##&payout=##PAYOUT##
* Each tracking system provides you with its unique documentation and workflow, so please read all instructions carefully as the sequence of events may change.
To Contents ↑** Trackers empower you to set up conversions limit, which is more than helpful when you’re on the test period. On Adsterra CPA Network, advertisers usually limit the initial number of conversions. On your tracker, you can set up this limit to protect yourself from overspending if you surpass the conversion number.
Backlinks
Imagine that you started sending traffic that does not match the initial offer requirements. Instead of losing money, you can monetize this traffic by redirecting this traffic to another page. That’s what the backlink is for.
Backlinks are fallback URLs that will help you earn on traffic that don’t match the initial offer targeting. You can find the field for pasting your Backlink URL rignt after the Postback section.
Global postback and backlink URLs
The high-paying CPA platform must provide quality offers, but you won’t go far if you don’t have tools that would reduce manual work and save your money. Here’s why Adsterra CPA Network provides you with a Global postback and backlink setup feature.
To open the page, click CPA Affiliates → Global postback tab on the vertical menu.
It’s pretty harsh entering the Postback and Backlink URLs each time you request the offer’s link. You can set up the default one for all the offers you run: precious minutes save precious dollars 🙂
The Adsterra team has also rolled out multiple postbacks, a truly time-saving feature for versatile campaign tracking. Now you can simply add all postback URLs on the offer’s page.
Statistics
Adsterra CPA’s Statistics dashboard is the easiest way to check whether the traffic you stream generates enough conversions and revenues or not.
Filter stats by offers, countries, sub-parameters you added to the offer’s link, and dates. Grouping allows for more detailed analysis: you can group data by:
- country;
- device;
- OS;
- browser;
- offer name;
- sub-parameters.
Download a CSV report will all filters set or reset the filter to leave the default view.
Payouts | High-paying CPA platform that pays weekly and twice a week
Trends demand speed, and it refers to payouts, too. Adsterra CPA Network automatically pays its partners.
- You get your payouts bi-weekly after your traffic is verified, and with earnings under $50.
- If you make over $50 and have your traffic verified, you get paid automatically. All further payouts you receive on demand.
- Trusted affiliates sending massive, quality traffic get paid twice a week (your personal manager will break down all details).
All affiliate marketers can control their balance and payouts on their accounts.
Adsterra CPA Network offers you several options to withdraw money: PayPal, Wire Transfer, Paxum, and, of course, all top cyber-money payment methods. All of them are instant except for the wire transfer that requires 3 to 4 days to complete.
The payment history is also here: you can control dates, payouts, fees, and documents.
Your default method of payment will be the one you entered during registration. If you need to change it, navigate to the Profile page. Make sure you filled out all mandatory fields correctly.
Profile settings
On your Profile page, you can change personal information and the payment method you chose when registered on your Profile page. This option will be blocked only on payment days to avoid payout delays.
Just in case, your balance is available at any page of the account 😉

BONUS PART: tips for choosing an offer
Not every offer is easy to monetize, right? So what should you check before setting up a campaign and start sending traffic?
Conversion flow
The conversion flow states what you should do to get your conversion approved and paid. With a CPA flow of “$350 minimum deposit,” it will be more complicated to drive lots of conversions compared to “1-click” or “install.”
Traffic requirements and limits
Apart from the countries listed, you can find the requirements for OS or device type. Read carefully, as advertisers won’t pay for a high-quality conversion made by an iOS user if they mentioned Android only in the offer. The most common traffic restrictions are “no incentive or motivated traffic,” “no misleading,” “no fraud,” “no bot,” “no proxy,” etc.
Prelanders
Before you start running ads, you need to make sure if you will have to add any prelanders or not.
Creatives
Please always read the advertiser’s notes that concern creatives; your strategy may depend on what you are allowed or not. Here are some typical use cases.
- Your advertiser attached some obligatory creatives and did jot allow using your own.
- The advertiser provided non-obligatory creatives and allowed using your own.
- You need to make creatives but don’t have to get the advertiser’s approval.
- You have to get the advertiser’s approval before using your creatives; in this case you will contact the advertiser via our Support team.
You will also meet some vital restrictions on visuals and messages you use. E.g., the “no mislead” warning means you should not alarm users or promise something they won’t actually get.
Additional limits and comments
When you run Finance or iGaming offers with a deposit conversion flow, you normally have to sync up with the call center’s working hours. See if there are any clues in the Additional comment field.
Example: “Call Center working hours – Monday – Friday – 10:00am – 7:00pm GMT+2”
Conversion limits
To all new partners, the initial test limit is 100 conversions. After the quality checking, limits can be exceeded. You may also see additional limitations like “only $500 per publisher” or “50 leads,” so read the description till the end.
To wrap up
That was a reasonably short guide to the high-paying CPA platform that welcomes pro affiliate marketers willing to unlock fresh offers and meet reputable advertisers. Adsterra CPA broke into the market in the midst of a pandemic bursting with selected and battle-tested offers. It puts quality offers first, making it easier to pick, run, and track offers with proven results. It is your additional powerful source of income, anyway. So why not join?
