Maxbounty CPA Network Interview

Posted on January 10, 2008 in CPA Networks, Maxbounty  

First up on the rounds of CPA and Affiliate Network interviews is with Maxbounty.

1. How many offers does your network have?

- MaxBounty currently has about 200 campaigns that are live on the network.

2. What is the Average Payout of all your offers?

- To be honest, I’m not quite sure what the correct answer for this would be. Since we have many different types of campaigns (such as 1 field submits, full survey signups, per-lead offers, trial-with-credit card offers, etc.), with many different payout ranges, an average doesn’t really mean anything as it doesn’t give an accurate picture of how much we pay per campaign.

3. What is your highest Paying offer and how much?

- Our highest paying offer right now is the Tickle IQ Test campaign, which pays out $56.00 when the surfer purchases the IQ Test results.

4. How much a month does your average affiliate earn?

- Again, this is a question that doesn’t have a great answer. The amount an affiliate earns is dependant on the amount of work they put into promoting our campaigns. There are several other factors which would be included in an average number which does not give an accurate picture as to how much an average affiliate could earn with us (such as dormant affiliates, and the 90/10 rule). The Average Active Affiliate Earns 1K a month, some earn less but some earn much more.

5. Do you have a rewards program (If Yes What Rewards do affiliates receive?)?

- No, we do not offer a rewards program. We prefer to offer better rates to affiliates. They can then use their higher commission cheques to obtain their own rewards.

6. Do you offer second tier/referral commission (If Yes what payout or percent and for how long?)?

- Yes, we pay 5% of a referred affiliate’s earnings to the referring affiliate for a period of one year from the time the referred affiliate joins the network.

7. What are your payment terms?

- We pay on a monthly net15 basis. We pay via Check in the affiliate’s local currency, direct deposit, or PayPal.

8. Do you offer Special terms for big earners?

- Yes, we offer special terms to big earners. These are negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

9. What does it take to get weekly payments (if you offer it)?

- We are willing to make weekly payments to affiliates if they earn at least $5K on a week-in-week-out basis.

10. What makes your CPA network stand out from the rest?

- We firmly believe that our attentiveness to the needs of our affiliates is the best in the business. Our AM’s are available through IM, phone, e-mail and respond to any requests in a timely manner. In addition, the owners of the network are also available to speak with affiliates should they find themselves in a situation where they need to escalate an issue.

11. To be in the Top 10 Affiliates of your network how much Revenue
would you have to bring in a month?

- Our top affiliates are earning $20K and over per month. I hesitate to give the exact top 10 “cutoff” as this could discourage affiliates. I’d rather give a target that an affiliate who works hard (and well) could realistically achieve.

12. What was your hottest offer across your network for 2007?

- Due to the constantly changing environment we work in, there was no single named “hot offer”. Categorically speaking, survey sites and ringtones were the hottest campaigns for us.

13. What will be hot in your network for 2008?

- I expect survey sites to remain hot and also expect dating/social networking campaigns to get very hot this year.

14. What conferences do you usually have a booth at?

- We usually have a booth at Affiliate Summit West and Ad-Tech New York

15. Give one reason why EVERY Affiliate out there should join and be a part of your network?

- Because we have direct relationships with just about all of the merchants who actually own the campaigns, we are not stuck in a position where we have to rebroker the campaigns of other networks. This allows us to *honestly* say that we can offer some of the best payouts in the industry.
Unfortunately, all networks claim to offer the best rates, so EVERY affiliate should join MaxBounty so they can see for themselves that our rates are indeed the best.

I want to thank Steven Sauve of Maxbounty for taking the time to answer my questions. They are one of the first CPA networks I joined several years ago. I actively use Maxbounty and I am pleased with their service and offers. If you aren’t signed up with Maxbounty you should check them out.

Do you use Maxbounty? What are your thoughts or experiences with Maxbounty?

    I love Maxbounty and have used them over many of the “bigger” networks simply because I trust them 100% and my AM (Hi Jessica) responds to any question I have, no matter how silly.

    I’d like to give David a big “thank you!” for giving me the opportunity to answer questions like this in a public forum. Based on the questions I’ve fielded in the past in a one-on-one basis, these are things that many people want to know about MaxBounty.

    I like MaxBounty the best so far over any other network. Yes, Adam, my AM, is great!

    MaxBounty is my favorite CPA network for the simplicity of their publisher interface.

    They put all ads per offer on one page. Click, click done.

    I can’t stand how other networks make you wade through their crappy non-intuitive interfaces just to find an offer. Some (like Copeac) even make you download email suppression lists to get banners even if you don’t use email marketing.

    MaxBounty: the site is old-school ugly, but works perfectly. :D

    I agree that maxbounty is one of the better networks out there. They may not be as large as others, but they do care about their affiliates.
