What is Prosperent and how does it work?

Prosperent is a targeted behavioral ad network. We make affiliate marketing as simple as possible. Sign up, design an ad, place our ad code on your web sites, and let us handle the rest. We determine what your users are interested in, and we display affiliate products they are likely to purchase. When an item is purchased we pay you a commission.

What is CPA?

CPA or Cost Per Action is an affiliate marketing term. With CPA campaigns you are paid when someone completes an action. In our case, we pay you when someone clicks on an ad and makes a purchase. We fully honor cookies, so even if the person clicking your ad doesn't purchase the product today, you are still credited and paid a commission if they complete the purchase before the cookie expires (typically 30 days or more from the original click)

When are ads displayed?

Prosperent TCPA ads are only displayed when there is a higher chance that a visitor on a page will purchase a product. We currently GEO Target ads and display only to countries where we have products that can be purchased and shipped. We only display ads when a visitor has a valid search engine referrer, is from a country that we support, or has one of our behavioral cookies in place.

No, because this is not a ppc network there is no risk placed on our merchants for accidental clicks. We encourage publishers to integrate our ads deeply into the content and layout of their pages.

What are fallback ad options?

Since Prosperent only displays ads to visitors that are likely to purchase a product we give our publishers the option of defining a "fallback" ad option that is displayed to all unqualified traffic. You may chose to display a solid color, an alternate ad from another ad network via pasting javascript into the input box, or you can define a generic product to display.

Why can't I see ads on my page?

Prosperent ads are designed to display ONLY when our system has determined that a visitor is likely to purchase a product. The ads are also GEO Targeted, so ads are only displayed in countries where we sell products. If you are not located in a country where we display Prosperent ads, or you would like to test to ensure that your ad code is working, you can use the following:
