Make Money with ClickBooth Affiliate Network
ClickBooth is an established affiliate network that is located in Sarasota, FL and has been in the game for over 5 years now. Today we will take a look at their affiliate admin area, campaigns available, earnings potential and reflect back on the recent controversy around the company and it’s affiliates.
Overview:
ClickBooth first went live in September 2002 and is a division of Integraclick. Through their affiliate network, ClickBooth is paying out over $16 million a month in commissions to affiliate networks. In addition to be a player in the affiliate network space, ClickBooth makes a great effort to attend and exhibit at most affiliate/internet marketing conferences and were just recently at OMMA Hollywood, SES Conference & Expo New York and the upcoming ad:tech San Francisco show. If you have been an attendee to any of these tradeshows, you will see ClickBooth usually has one of the larger booths. As an affiliate of ClickBooth, you will also have access to their 24/7 support, via email, phone and AIM.
Ease of Use:
When you first login to the ClickBooth system you are offered with a ton of campaign and search options. ClickBooth does a nice job in making it easy for you to search through their TOP Network offers, which are sorted by Email, OnSite Placement, Search, Path and Networks. Below the “Top” offers section, you can search out all campaigns on their network, and view the most recently added campaigns. Their backend is run off the DirectTrack system, but they have done a great job with customizing it’s look, so it has a much better look and feel than many other networks.
On the main login page, you will also find your full contact information for your affiliate manager, along with all the basic tools needed to manage your account, such as “program links”, “tools” and “running reports”. A “Quick Links” menu on the left side gives you easy access to new campaigns, deactivations and other updates made to campaigns.
Profitability:
As an affiliate of ClickBooth, you should be able to find a way to effectively market to your web site traffic or to almost any niche area. With over 600+ campaigns on the network, it should not be hard for you to find an offer related to your content or marketing needs. A quick run through of the 600+ campaigns shows they have some very high payouts on campaigns and will beat or match any offer on any network that you are currently running with. In addition to a selection of quality offer, ClickBooth also offers weekly payouts and bimonthly payments to qualified publishers. Payments can also be sent through check, PayPal, and ACH.
Quality of Ads:
Through ClickBooth you will have access to hundreds of familiar and famous brand names. With respectable name brand campaigns from companies like Gevalia, BlockBuster, Entertainment and VistaPrint, you should have no problem finding an offer than converts with your traffic, or to start your own ppc campaign. ClickBooth campaigns have an overall range of .40 per lead for FreeLotto, all the way up to $280 per lead for Medical Hair Restoration.
While searching through campaigns on ClickBooth, you can also do a search based on offer payout or the network epc (earnings per click). Below is a screenshot of just a few offers running on the ClickBooth network.
Stats Tracking:
If you are familiar with any networks running on the DirectTrack system, then you should have no problem getting used to the stats area for ClickBooth. A screenshot sample below shows a stats report from within ClickBooth. SubID tracking and creative tracking options are also available. You can pull stats reports based on campaign, subids and date.
Here is a sample preview of what ClickBooth stats area looks like.
What’s all the recent talk on ClickBooth?:
Recently ClickBooth has been the discussion of many affiliate marketing forums and blog posts. Management of an affiliate network can be extremely tough, especially when you are dealing with thousands of affiliates. If for any reason ClickBooth is responsible for closing an affiliate account due to violation of terms, ClickBooth itself would be in violation of it’s own terms if they were to bill an advertiser and keep the funds/commissions, which an affiliate would also lose. I was assured by ClickBooth that this would never happen, as it would be a breach in contract and an illegal action as well. As much slack or positive press affiliate networks may receive for their performance, reputation is everything. ClickBooth does not only work with affiliates, they are also working with many other affiliate networks and brokers such as NeverBlueAds. ClickBooth is dedicated to taking all necessary actions to defend their name and practices. I recommend you take a further look into all situations before coming to an assumption. I was told by ClickBooth, that they will gladly talk with any affiliates or advertisers on the matter, or interested in working with their network.
Why Do I Like this Network:
Before writing this review, I talked briefly with ClickBooth over the phone. I wanted to make sure everything with the network was going well and that I had a good grip on their business plans and well being. I was assured that the company continues to pay out millions to affiliates each month and they are making new strides every day to improve the company and performance for their affiliates. With over 600 campaigns on the network and being in business for over 5 years, I wouldn’t see why anyone couldn’t make money with this network. Another big plus of working with ClickBooth, is their dedication to working with you on a personal basis to make sure you are receiving the highest payouts through their network. To clear up any justification of this review, I will be promoting a few campaigns from ClickBooth through ppc campaigns and onsite placement on a few of my own sites. I will make a follow up post to this review once payment is received.
Final Review:
After final review, I rate ClickBooth with 4 out of 5 “Zac Stamps of Approval“. This review was done as a precursor to running my own campaigns with ClickBooth. Once I have a few successful campaigns running through the company and an established personal communication with the company and my affiliate manager, I will have a better idea on their performance and earnings potential. Based on talking with the company and doing a walk through review of their network, I recommend you join their network and let me know your thoughts on the company, or if you have previous experience with them. You can also use their web site contact form to contact them directly with any questions you may have.
UPDATE: If you are or were an active affiliate with ClickBooth, I highly recommend that you post a comment based on your experience with the company. While I am new with the company, I would like as much feedback from past and current affiliates as well. The more responses, the better we can get an idea on this companies’ performance. Thank you.

really?
I have worked with ClickBooth for years and never had a problem with them. In fact they have gone well beyond a normal affiliate network to help me make money with them. I consider them my business partner.
Hey Zac - About time you did a review on ClickBooth! Love them..been a long time fan of both ClickBooth and your blog. Thanks a lot for such quality content.
-Jamie
ohh almost forgot about the linkbait.
Hey Zac, you might want to do some research before doing reviews like that… The guy running the network is [allegedly] a spammer listed at ROSKO and he has [allegedly] caused problems to a lot of affiliates as you can see here: http://www.wickedfire.com/shooting-shit/24850-ClickBooth-suing-me-wickedfire-lol-4.html
http://www.scam.com/showthread.php?t=18796

etc… You might want to do your research next time before promoting and endorsing such a company!
Hey Mike,
As an email marketer myself and looking through all this post and following up with my own research…if I had to choose a side I would have to say you guys are not looking very credible.
An Affiliate Networking on an email blacklist, are you really reaching that far to smear this company? I dare you to find one affiliate network that has never been on that list at one point in time or another. Come on what are we stupid?
Also, I did the Google search results and it wasnt very difficult to see its the same 3-4 wickedfire people that are out posting and linkbaiting ClickBooth everywhere with no real evidence.
How stupid do you think affiliates are? Wickedfire is losing credibility by the second because of this “crusade”, attempting to attack a credible network because of a personal grievance.
I may not be Joe stupid public because I do my research. You should not think the masses are as dumb as you are making them out to be with this crap.
Go ClickBooth!
a thoughful review with insights … I still didn’t understand why you ranked them 4 out of 5 ?? If they are that good why didn’t they have a 5 out of 5 ?? what were the reasons that you base your decision.
As mentioned in the review. They were given a 4/5 based on the offers/pricing and setup of the network. I also mentioned in the review that this rating could change once I had an establishment with them and ran campaigns and received payment.
thanks for the clarifications … will be looking forward to see the changes
I find it hard to stomach that you would promote these guys after they’ve closed accounts and withheld commissions from SO MANY affiliates. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth in some cases. Just a simple search of google will show so many reports of their scammy tactics. Really sad that you’ve stooped this low dude.
Im with you on that one.
I did a review on the network. Even before writing going live with the review, I knew there would be an onslaught for/against the company. This is one of the main reasons why the post was written. If I was favoring anyone here, I would delete negative comments… but I don’t delete any blog post comments.
Ahh so they’re paying you to post about them. Got it. Well check your facts about their company next time because this will put quite a bit of a dent in your credibility. Especially the part about 16mil paid to affiliates each month (lol). May want to ask them to verify that…wouldn’t want you to be knowingly posting false figures or anything….
This is an open post. Feel free to post anything of evidence against my post… I want to know as much as everyone else. This really isn’t as personal as much as everyone else is trying to make it out to be. Post the facts, I’m listening.
Nicky - lets look at credibility..is this not a quote from you in a recent blog telling people how to SPAM Wikipedia? Isn’t the article title you wrote called: “Scamming Wikipedia Traffic”?
“Link Spam
Ok, nobody hates getting spammed more than Nickycakes. However, Nickycakes also loves to be hated, and the bottom line is, a link from a popular wikipedia article can bring you a metric fuckton of traffic if it slips under the radar and doesn’t get edited out. Don’t be flagrant and deface 100 wikipedia pages in an hour or anything, or you’ll just get them all removed by some mod.”
Your right Nicky,
Maybe we should do our research first.
Wait a sec - arent the majority (about 98%) of the “ClickBooth backlash” all being done by 2-3 individuals? Aren’t all of those individuals known as prolific spammers and scammers with their existance on one of the worst
Zac shouldnt even respond to you - he completely outclasses you.
Digger
Wow you gave them a 4out 5 review and you haven’t even used them yet? Doubt you’ll have a problem getting paid because but they’ll screw anyone without a fanbase… from what I hear. A little bird called nickycakes told me.
Again… the review was done to spread knowledge on the company… bad or good. If this was a one sided review I would not have added a section called “What’s all the recent talk on ClickBooth?”. This blog is for everyone to comment on every post. Positive/Negative… bring on the discussions.
Seriously? Without even USING them, given all the bad press out there surrounding ClickBooth, you endorse them? You must really be fine with sacrificing your blog readers for a bit of extra cash.
Please, do everyone a favor and research them first.
I had thought I was backing out of this whole battle, but I just can’t handle all the reputation management crap they’re doing. It’s too much.
Again, post whatever you feel is necessary. I am not ClickBooth, I am not a legal team… I’m a blog trying to spread knowledge on the industry. This is a network review, comments play a big part in how networks are reviewed.
Nicky - your a sheep; before spewing your mouth maybe you should do some due dilegence. Have you ever had an experience with this company? I’ve been working with them and about 15 other networks for about 3 years now and have seen a lot of people attack networks such as them simply for the fact that they are the hot network of the moment. Get a brain for yourself.
I’m plenty of things, but a sheep I will never be. I have personal friends who have been screwed out of thousands. Yes these are people I know in real life, not some crap I heard on the internet, which is what this post and your comment are.
Kthx, bye.
ClickBooth as been VERY solid in my book. For months on end i have earned six figure comissions and they have paid out everytime ON time. No question about it….highest payouts in the industry and they wire monies on the 15th of everymonth.
what more can you ask for…….chicago joe
How the hell can you rate something you haven’t used yet?
I rated the network the best I could without prior use of their network, the same as I rated Ads4Dough in the past… no one had any issues with that review. I would have a problem with this as well, if I didn’t mention I haven’t run any of their offers yet… but I did make that clear in the post, and based off my experience with the company, the rating could go either way.
nice info. affiliate commissions seem like the way to go.
ClickBooth is a pile of **** and there are so many better affiliate companies out there now that I don’t know why you’d even go near them…
oh and “Terry Valentino” - I couldn’t give a fuck that you have worked with them before, the fact is they have scammed hundreds of thousands out of their affiliates, just because you have a good experience with them does not make them a good company….
Sad to see this respected guy actually review them, give 4 on 5 rating, and has never tried them.
People do your research, it will speak for itself.
My reviews have always been on the network and I put forth as much information as I can. Since this is an active blog, I rely heavily on my reader’s comments to follow up with their responses on the profiled network. So far, this one is going well… except I am just getting negative responses with not much to back them up. I’m not calling anyone lairs… just try and post something for readers that have no idea who ClickBooth are. This makes perfect sense for a sides.
Jason,
I am an outsider in all of this but I think what Zac’s trying to say here is he is doing his research.
I’ve been a reader for sometime and throwing all of the personal crap out the window from both sides..this is what I’m seeing:
1. A small number of individuals are angry with ClickBooth because they have heard from an unknown party that ClickBooth does not pay. (yes gives me a bit of hesitation as this of course is an affiliates worst fear however since they are not fighting their own battles I am guessing they have something to hide.)
2. A small number of individuals that do work with Clickbooth are extremely loyal Affiliates and have never had issues.
3. I apologize if I am misquoting Zac however from what I am reading he has presented that he is more than willing to do an objective review himself as well as provide a forum here for the affected parties either pro or con (not these 3rd parties that keep popping in but the specific parties that have had issues where both those parties and Clickbooth can resolve their specific issues out in public.
Maybe I’m too analytical
but doesn’t that make more sense than everyone throwing opinions back and forth either way?
Nicky and Monty
Show me here, a actual screenshot of how much money you make with affiliates..
Lets see it……
Then ill show You my screenshots from this month from ClickBooth alone, and my WEEKLY payout Via ACH
and what in the name of fuck has that got to do with the fact that dickbooth is an absolutely horrific company?
show me right here something which I can respect you for, bet you can’t come up with anything….
Dude, I get weekly wires from 5 networks, congrats. And no I won’t post personal financial information on the comments of a blog cause some douche is trying to troll me.
I will say this, I’m well enough invested in this business to know who is shady and who isn’t.
ClickBooth is shady. Use at your own risk.
Really What networks Give you Weekly Wires? and how much do you do a Month?
I want to know im Talking to a REAL Affiliate and not Some Fag wearing horns
The minimum for weekly wires for most networks is only 1k a week. I do that in a day easily with the networks I push any real traffic to. You can read my site for information on what networks i do business with, if it really matters. But at the end of the day, my credibility in the eyes of some troll on a now non-credible blog is worth about $0 to me.
Have a nice day.
This blog is just as credible as it always was. I provide the content, the readers provide the feedback. Just because this one post has become an all out war within the past couple hours is in your hands. There’s clearly an issue between several affiliates and ClickBooth, so bring light to the situation instead of finger pointing… otherwise the 40+ comments on this post are useless.
Sorry, but as the person reviewing it, isn’t that your job?
Nick - it seems you have a lot to say about a network you havent reviewed personally yourself. As a bystander in this - I would love to throw that question back out there to you since I am familiar with your blog as well. You posted a very negative “review” of ClickBooth, yet you never checked them out yourself.
Looks like at least Zac is doing his homework.
Something about glass houses should go right here…
Brad
I’ve never posted a review of ClickBooth, and yes I have experience with them.
oooo and Nicky, you have never had an experience with them yourself…as I thought. Sheep. You just proved my point. Might want to tell your “friends” to stop spamming. Funny how I never hear any actual negative on ClickBooth. Its all from a friend of a friend… Congratualations you just created an urban legend.
Monty,
Show me Where you Make actual money in this field…….
I have My proof, and are not Hiding shit…
Cmon Tough Guy, If theyre SOOOOOO Bad, Prove your a ACTUAL REAL AFFILIATE in this Industry, not a Petty SPAMMER
Wheres the Proof Monty…….
when did I ever say I was an affiliate? I know a fair amount about the businesses behind these affiliate networks and I know that dickbooth is not a good company. and since when was I a spammer?
I bet you’re the life and soul of parties, you realise 99% of the people in this world haven’t got a clue what affiliate marketing is and couldn’t give a fuck about you’re earnings? I’ll be one of those 99% because I actually have a life….
Just a reminder guys… I’ve been screwed in the past before. To the tune of $30,000 within a two month period. I’m not defending anyone, I wrote a review on what was available. If something else is out there, let everyone know the story.
Zac,
Again I want to commend you on doing this objective review. It speaks a lot about your character and really hits home as to your integrity. As I mentioned earlier it proves your the type of guy thats willing to cut right through the bs and instead of doing a post with your own motives in mind such as a lot of these guys that are trying to discredit an honest company based off of a couple bad apples you were willing to take some heat and cut right through it in a fair and honest manner.
Keep it up!
-Jamie
are you being serious? cause that whole post could be sarcasm, but if it isn’t you need to just give up on life….
^ obvious ClickBooth employee
obvious Wickedfire Frauder/Sheep
Obvious a Loser.
I laid out the network review… it’s time for everyone who’s worked with the network to speak up. That was the plan in the first place, I knew this post would call to action.
Zac,
I Have been screwed a Ton By Affiliates as Well, Some are out just for Blood and that Sux,
That is why When I came across this Post I chimed in,
I have Been treated Nothing but great By ClickBooth and Always Paid on Time Weekly
Not Even a REAL affiliate, Exactly My point……..
and that Was to Monty Btw
what was your point? you seem to be completely braindead, you have no logic at all, not even a little bit…
Zac,
Did you get paid to write this review?
Tony,
Who have you been screwed by? I’de be interested in knowing, would save me headaches.
Us smaller affiliate cant afford to invest in ppc, make the $$$ and have it held back for some BS reason many have experienced with ClickBooth. If there are more, get them out there.
