Why ExoClick Outperforms Affiliate Programs in Revenue

Even With a Smart Link: Affiliate Earnings vs. ExoClick (POP-Only Traffic)

November 2025 Traffic Results

Visits: 28,457

Uniques: 13,635

Conversions: 5

Conversion Rate: 0.04%

Affiliate Earnings: $1.41

This was POP-only traffic, and we even used a smart link to maximize performance yet the results were still terrible.

For comparison, the same POP traffic on ExoClick would have earned around $2 CPM or higher, meaning $58+ in revenue.

The affiliate program paid $1 instead of $58.

This perfectly shows why POP traffic almost always performs better under CPM monetization than low-return “smart link” affiliate programs.
