Screw PrimaryAds*, and CPA Empire*, go with Copeac instead. I'm not just saying it because I am friends with them or because they sponsor shit with us, I'm saying it because they will give you better payouts than any of the other 2nd tier affiliate networks out there, on top of the fact that they always make sure the affiliates are paid, no matter what.
A quick story..
One of my former project managers ran a pretty shady campaign with them. Now, Copeac isn't a shady company by any means, but the advertiser APPROVED the campaign because they got all greedy about volume leads. Fine then, Copeac agreed to monitor everything, and the campaign went live. Needless to say, the campaign converted like shit. My PM spent a few $1k's promoting it, got the leads, but the leads didn't convert for anything for the advertiser. So the advertiser figured he could cut and run. Copeac suspended my PM's account (with good reason) BUT they paid him out. Not only did they pay him out for what he made, but after the asshole advertiser refused to pay, Copeac paid the affiliate OUT OF POCKET, and the total amount was $19k or $20k total. That's a big hit to take when an advertiser refuses to pay you. And what's more this was AFTER they had suspended the affiliate for what he had done.
Why did they do this? Because Copeac fucking rocks. That's all there is to it. They actually value the affiliate, and are in this game for the long run. Advertisers come and go, but affiliates will stick with a network for a long damn time if they are treated right. Copeac knows how to keep their word, and when they say "we will pay you" they fucking mean it. I have NEVER seen a company do that before. Most companies would just ban the affiliate, keep the cash, and side with the advertiser, but not Copeac. Balls of steel is what they have, and their word is as solid as an oak tree.
That's why I stand by Copeac. Nothing to do with money. I rarely even promote through them anymore for cpa offers. I don't even take percentages from affiliates I send them. But I always recommend them, because they are top notch, and until you can show me another affiliate network that would stick their necks out for their affiliates, both big and small, then I'd be glad to recommend them too, but it just doesn't exist, except with Intermark/Copeac. They may not be the biggest company out there, and their name may be a little gay, but hell, they will make you money guaranteed and always pay you out for it.
High five to Copeac.
(I'm not going to link drop them either, but their address is copeac dot com -- and they love WF members because they are members here too, first network to come around and help people too)
* - Both of these networks are on my blacklist for "do not pay affiliates". If I were you, I'd consider never using them again.
