Affiliate for publishers: extra revenue without more ads

ADQ Links is ADEQ's affiliate technology. It shows brand offers on your site that fit each article and each reader's country, and pays you a commission on every confirmed sale or action. It adds to what you already earn with display, in the same report and the same payment.

01Why affiliate

More revenue from the same visit

Display pays per impression; affiliate pays when the reader buys something they actually wanted. They are two different revenue streams, and the second one does not need more banners.

  • It adds, it doesn't replace

    It does not take the place of your ads: it adds a new revenue stream on top of the same traffic.

  • No extra ad clutter

    Useful offers, related to the page topic and matching your site's design, instead of more banners.

  • Only what can be bought

    Each format detects the reader's country and only shows offers available there.

  • Brands without one-by-one deals

    Direct campaigns from local and global brands, plus campaigns from affiliate networks. You sign with none of them and keep the larger share of every commission.

02Formats

Seven ways to show an offer

You choose which ones to use on each site. They all take on your fonts and colors, stay isolated from your CSS and carry a “Sponsored” label.

  • Editorial strip

    Three or four offer cards inside the article, after the paragraph you choose.

  • Offer feed

    A horizontal carousel that opens with regular content and mixes in sponsored offers.

  • Spotlight card

    A small corner card that appears once the reader scrolls or has spent some time on the page. It can be closed.

  • Side rail

    Stays in view while reading and fits a standard 300×250 slot.

  • Product shelf

    A product grid with prices, discount codes and categories.

  • In-text links

    Relevant words in the article become sponsored links. Never in headings or code, and five per page at most.

  • Outbound links

    The store links already in your articles start earning commission, without rewriting them.

  • Not sure which to pick?

    We help you combine them based on your content and design.

    Confirmed commissions show up in your ADEQ report and are paid together with the rest of your earnings.

05Quality and transparency

Clear rules for readers, sites and brands

Affiliate only works if every party can trust it. These are the rules we work by.

  • Tied to content, not intrusive

    Offers sit alongside the article and never cover it: no format is a pop-up, and the spotlight card can be closed.

  • Disclosed advertising

    Every placement carries a “Sponsored” label and every link rel="sponsored nofollow", the markup Google asks for on paid links.

  • Your readers' privacy

    The formats set no cookies on your site and build no reader profiles: each offer is chosen by the page topic and the country, not by who is reading.

  • Every click shows where it came from

    We work as a transparent sub-network: each click carries the originating site's identifier and is signed. Bot clicks and repeated clicks are discarded.

  • Brand-safe offers

    Only live campaigns from real brands, on sites reviewed one by one. A campaign that is paused, expired or not selling in the reader's country is never shown.

  • One tag, one report, one payment

    No other platform or account: you manage it from ADEQ and get paid by ADEQ.

01

What is ADEQ's affiliate offering and how is it different from display?

They are brand offers paid on results: you earn a commission when a reader buys or completes an action, not for showing the offer. ADQ Links picks each one based on the page topic and the visitor's country.

02

Which sites get the most out of affiliate?

Sites that help people decide on a purchase: reviews, comparisons, travel, tech, home, sport or personal finance. A general news site can use it too, especially with the feed and the spotlight card.

03

How are affiliate commissions paid?

Through ADEQ, like the rest of your earnings: they appear in your report and are paid once the brand confirms the sale. The larger share of every commission is yours.

04

Does affiliate affect speed, SEO or my readers?

It is designed not to: it loads after your content, marks every link as sponsored and only shows offers the reader can buy.
