The affiliate market is not static. Based on the results of the Style meetup, which we attended yesterday, we can safely draw the following conclusions.
Payment solutions for the affiliate sphere are becoming more and more popular. These include e-cards and payment services. The ability to work freely in a highly regulated world is highly valued in this sphere.
The battle between white hat and black hat traffic is still going on. Yes, Tier-1 countries are more regulated, but the pirate spirit of the affiliate community gives space for experimentation. That's why black hat traffic sources will be in trend for a long time.
Optimisation is our everything. Affiliates are getting tired of providing traffic to adult affiliates independently. Some of them are just not that experienced and have already lost their budget, others want to outsource some of the work. That is why the format of a fully managed platform is becoming more and more important.
What trends do you think are the most popular today?
