Our methodology
How we rank this list The signals behind every score, and where the data comes from
We rank ad networks by traffic quality, targeting depth, pricing transparency, anti-fraud measures, and support. Deposit and payout facts are verified against official pages.
Scores are assigned by AFFDigest editors after reviewing each listing against the signals below. Key facts — payout minimums, payment terms, commission models — are traced to an official source with a URL and check date, and the data is re-verified monthly with every change logged. Sponsored placements are always labeled and never influence a score or a rank.
