MADCPA Turns 9: Our Story, the English Version and a Brand-New Design

Nine years in affiliate marketing feels like an eternity in any other industry. In that time hundreds of affiliate networks have shut down, Zuck’s algorithms have changed a thousand times, and storms in traffic sources have become just another Tuesday. But we are still here, still digging into affiliate topics — and this year we are celebrating our 9th birthday.

And instead of just raising a glass, we are shipping the biggest update in the project’s history.

The big one: meet the new MADCPA (first redesign since 2017!)

Yes, we finally did it. Our old design had been with us since day one — almost a decade with nothing but minor tweaks. It was time to move on, so we rebuilt the site from scratch on our own custom MADCPA theme.

What’s changed:

• We joined the dark side. The design got noticeably darker — reading case studies and reviews at night before launching a campaign is now much easier on the eyes. And honestly, we think a dark theme simply fits this project better than a light one.
• Speed. The site flies now. Pages load instantly, no lag.
• Fully responsive. Reading from your phone is finally comfortable too.
• Handy search. Search now lives in the site header.
• New footer. Completely redesigned from the ground up.

Important: all the content, the older evergreen articles and your favorite links are exactly where they were. We didn’t delete anything — we just wrapped it all in a shiny new package.

Our story: 9 years in 90 seconds

2017 — launch. MADCPA went live on June 21, 2017 as a Russian-language project, madcpa.ru — you can check the Wayback Machine: we started publishing right away instead of just parking a domain. On day one we also opened our Telegram channel and a VK group (both in Russian), and both are still running — every new article gets announced there.

The site took off quickly: the first advertisers showed up within the first year, and a lot of the content published back then still brings in traffic today.

2018–2019 — the New Year quest. We ran a big holiday quest where every participant was guaranteed a prize. 876 affiliates took part, and we mailed out stickers and other swag. Here’s the full story (in Russian).

2019 — Megaspy for everyone. We acquired Megaspy, a spy tool for monitoring push ads, and made it completely free for our readers. Before that it was a paid service with its own audience. More details here (in Russian).

2020 — a market navigator. We launched our own affiliate program catalog to make it easier to decide where to send your traffic.

2026 — going global. This year we launched the English version of the project — the very site you are reading right now, madcpa.pro, together with the English catalog top.madcpa.pro. And it’s not machine translation: the content is adapted for the international market as a full standalone project.

What about Megaspy?

Fair question — Megaspy has been pretty much out of order lately. Its main creative sources were the Megapush and DatsPush ad networks, the biggest push networks of their time, and both shut down long ago. But we are planning a full overhaul: bringing push monitoring back with plenty of new ad networks and new filters, and possibly adding other traffic sources and ad formats too. And yes, spoiler: the service will stay free!

Thank you for being with us!

Everything we do — from writing reviews to this global redesign — we do for you. Thank you to everyone who reads our articles and reviews, or simply drops by the site.

Nine years ago we called ourselves MADCPA because only the — good kind of — mad survive in affiliate marketing. The ones who test funnels around the clock, don’t fear bans and always look for unconventional angles. Stay mad — and may your ROI always be three digits!

Now go take the new design for a spin!
