Q: Should I launch on a network or build an in-house program first?
Start on a network if you're under ~$50k/month in affiliate revenue and need affiliates fast. Networks bring an existing partner pool, handle payouts and tax forms, and absorb fraud disputes — you pay 25-30% override on top of commission for that.
Go in-house once you can answer two questions: do you have a recruiter or manager to source partners yourself, and can you afford a tracking platform (Everflow, Tune, Affise) plus a payout rail? In-house drops that override and gives you raw click-level data the network won't share.
The honest middle path: run both. Keep a network for reach and tail partners, move your top 10-20 producers in-house where margin matters most. Most programs that 'graduate' fully too early just lose volume.
Caveat: in-house means you own compliance and chargebacks. No safety net.

Google отменил ручную пессимизацию в Еврозоне
Google перестал пессимизировать крупные новостники за паразитные страницы с казино и другими партнёрскими офферами в ЕЭЗ. Для арбитража вывод простой: в Европе схема с «пирогами» больше не даёт преимущества от траста основного домена, а Google впервые применяет разные правила по GEO под давлением регулятора.

Q: CPA or revenue share — which payout model should my program use?
Match the model to your retention curve, not your preference.
— Use CPA (a flat payout per acquired customer) when your product has low or unpredictable lifetime value, or when you want affiliates to predict their earnings and scale traffic aggressively. You cap downside per conversion.
— Use revenue share (a % of what the customer spends, ongoing) when retention is strong and you'd rather align affiliates with quality. It self-corrects: junk traffic that churns earns the affiliate nothing.
The sharper move is a hybrid: a small CPA upfront to cover the affiliate's ad cost, plus a trailing revshare. This recruits performance buyers who won't touch pure revshare, while still rewarding quality.
Caveat: hybrid is harder to reconcile and tempts fraud on the CPA leg. Keep the upfront small enough that a fake signup isn't profitable on its own.
