Everything About the Crypto Vertical — Where and How to Get Traffic

In this article, we’re going to talk about the crypto vertical — specifically, what it is, where you can get traffic from, and which crypto offers we recommend. We hope this article is useful to you and helps you discover this vertical if you’re not already working with it.

A Quick Overview of the Vertical:

The crypto vertical encompasses many sub-niches: education offers (blockchain and crypto trading courses), investments, trading, and auto-trading (bot-based trading). Today we’ll focus on what we think is the most profitable sub-niche — crypto trading offers. How does it work? You drive a user to a trading platform, they fund their account and start trading — buying and selling cryptocurrencies, engaging in margin trading. The trading platform charges a commission, and you earn a percentage of that commission. An active user generates a huge volume of transactions, which means you can earn enormous amounts from a single user. And the best part — there’s no deception involved for the user. They can actually make money alongside you and withdraw their balance. That’s not something you can say about some other offers in the crypto space, where there are plenty of outright scams that we strongly advise against working with.

Who Do We Recommend Working With?

PrimeXBT! This is a direct-advertiser affiliate program with an impressive offer lineup. All traffic goes to their own crypto trading platform, PrimeXBT — no lengthy verification process for users, a demo account available, and the ability to trade not just crypto but also indices, stocks, gold, and oil. But the main attraction is the payouts: up to 70% of all commissions, or up to $1,250 on a CPA basis, depending on volume. You can choose from 5 partnership models, including a triple hybrid where you can earn a registration fee, a deposit fee, and a lifetime percentage of commissions. Another standout feature: if you’re on CPA and your traffic doesn’t hit the qualifying threshold, instead of having conversions rejected (as is standard at most programs), you’ll simply be moved to RevShare. We published an interview with a representative from this affiliate program — madcpa.ru/interview-primexbt/ — we highly recommend checking it out, there’s a lot of useful and interesting information in there.

Now that you know which offer to pick, let’s talk about traffic sources for crypto.

Traffic Sources for Crypto Offers:

Here are the top 3 sources:

1. Facebook. Of course — Facebook is a top-performing source in almost every vertical. Crypto advertising is restricted on Facebook, though, so you’ll need to cloak. Talk to your personal manager at PrimeXBT for recommended approaches and landing pages.
2. Google. A challenging source since Google also prohibits crypto advertising and is much harder to cloak than Facebook. But if you know how, the traffic quality is among the highest out there, giving you a much bigger earning potential.
3. SEO. Building your own sites never goes out of style. It’s a very long process, but it delivers quality traffic at low cost. You’ll need solid knowledge of search engine optimization. You could create a review site or crypto news site, then monetize it with banners and widgets from PrimeXBT. To be clear, this is a very demanding route that takes a lot of time — media buyers are better off going with Facebook or Google. But if you’re a publisher and understand SEO, this one’s for you.

Verdict:

Crypto is a demanding vertical, but one of the most profitable. Where else will you find payouts of $1,250 per lead? If you’ve worked in gambling, betting, or binary options, transitioning to crypto offers will be much easier. Whatever traffic source you’re currently using — try running crypto from it. If it works for gambling or betting, there’s a good chance crypto will convert too. The key is using the right approach — pre-landers and creatives — and your affiliate program will help with that. We recommend PrimeXBT.
