About CPA Silk Road
The old Silk Road was not one road. It was a web of routes, markets and middlemen, and the traders who did well were the ones who knew which route led where, what it cost and who could be trusted along the way. Affiliate marketing looks a lot like that, and this site is our map of it.
What you will find here
Affiliate marketing is usually explained one tool or one tactic at a time. We describe it as a connected system:
- Niches, such as nutra: what is sold, to whom, what the offers pay and what goes wrong.
- Methods, from business models like affiliate marketing to disciplines like tracking and attribution.
- Traffic sources, such as push, native and Facebook ads: how buying works, what the rules are and where they bite.
- Tools: trackers, spy tools, landing page builders, ad networks and CPA networks, described by what they actually do.
Every page links to the others it depends on, and every important link says why it is there. "Keitaro is an alternative to Binom" is not enough; the page tells you in which situation you would pick one over the other.
How we work
Few strong pages beat many weak ones. We check facts ourselves, date them and name the source. We write down the limitations of every tool we cover. A page is not offered to search engines until it meets that bar, and the check is done by our software, not by hand. The details are in how we review tools.
We started with nutra and have added iGaming, each with the traffic sources, methods and tools that go with it. We add more only when what is already here is good.
Who is behind it
CPA Silk Road is an independent project run by Denis M. It is not owned by any of the vendors, networks or affiliate programs it covers.
How the site is paid for
Through affiliate commissions on some links to tools. That never buys a placement or a verdict; see our affiliate disclosure.
