AffTraff: One Platform, Two Audiences
Most affiliate media write for a single reader. A media buyer opens the site and scrolls past SEO tips; a webmaster opens the same site and scrolls past anti-detect browser reviews. AffTraff solves this with a single toggle in the header: choose "Affiliate" or "Webmaster," and the entire site reshapes itself around you.
At AdsCompass, we work with both sides of the market every day. Advertisers buy push, pop, in-page, and native traffic from us, while publishers monetize their inventory in the same formats. Let's break down what AffTraff offers and who will benefit from it the most.
What Is AffTraff
AffTraff is a media platform about affiliate marketing for media buyers, webmasters, and advertisers, launched in 2026. It features articles, independent ratings, a glossary, free calculators, an event calendar, and job listings. The focus is on verticals well known to our readers: gambling, betting, dating, nutra, crypto, finance, and sweepstakes.
The site is fully available in Russian and English. All sections — from ratings to event descriptions — exist in both languages, and the Russian version speaks the language of the affiliate community: buyers, GEOs, offers, affiliate networks.

Ratings for Buying and Selling Traffic
Ratings are the backbone of AffTraff. In Affiliate mode, they're split into three groups:
- Ad networks by format: push, popunder, in-page, banners, Telegram, display, native, mobile, and video traffic.
- CPA networks across 11 verticals. The largest list is gambling with 24 networks, followed by betting (15) and dating (13).
- Day-to-day tools: anti-detect browsers, spy services, proxies, trackers, payment systems, and PWA tools.
In Webmaster mode, ad network ratings are rebuilt from the publisher's perspective, with two additional monetization models: domain parking and link selling. The service ratings also shift to what a site owner needs: SEO tools, DDoS protection, CMS, and hosting.
All ad network ratings use a single weighted methodology: performance — 60%, platform usability — 25%, support — 15%. Ratings are updated quarterly. The table shows the score, minimum payout, and payout frequency at a glance. Each network has a detailed card: supported formats, payment methods, GEO coverage, per-format scores (with separate stability and support ratings), pros, cons, and a written review.
AdsCompass also has a card in the push network ratings for affiliates: an overall score of 4.7 with separate ratings for each of our formats. We think this per-format breakdown is more honest than a single star: a network can be strong in popunder and average in native, and a buyer should know where things stand.

What to Keep in Mind
AffTraff is a young project launched in 2026, and it shows in places. Some rating categories are still short (for example, display networks currently have just one entry), and the tool set is compact. On the other hand, the project has a clear structure, fresh content, and a "two audiences in one site" model that none of the larger, older media in our niche offer.
