Hi

What is the difference between Affiliate Network vs Traffic Sources?

Traffic Sources is where you get buy you traffic,

But, how about affiliate network such as Mobidea?

hello @seneca .
your Question is weird
any ways if you checked this section What is Affiliate Marketing? (START HERE) you will not ask this Question.

traffic source is where you get(buy) traffic

affiliate network is where you get the offer you want to promote as simple as that .

Hi @tyoussef

Hey Seneca!

We are an affiliate network, which means that we are a mediator between you and the advertiser (offer's offer). You promote the offer, get leads to the advertiser, and receive payment from him (CPA, CPI, CPS, CPL models), and affiliate network is normally keeping some percentage of the payment. Roughly speaking, this is how it works, but you can also check the article we've posted here recently, which should clarify all your doubts!

Cheers!

Hi @Mobidea,

I still have some questions although very basic ones.

I will ask them in the thread that you shared, so maybe everybody can get something all of it.

Cheers!
