Our methodology

How we rank this list The signals behind every score, and where the data comes from

We rank programs by commission value, cookie duration, conversion quality, support, and creator fit.

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.
