General

What is CPA Marketing?
Neverblue operates on a Cost-per-Action (CPA) model in which payment is based solely on qualifying actions such as sales or registrations. It is an online advertising model where the Advertiser only pays for a specified action linked to the advertisement and the Affiliate receives commission when a lead or sale is generated.
What is an Affiliate?
An Affiliate, also known as a publisher, is any owner of online media where an advertisement can be placed and viewed by consumers. They can be website owners, newsletter publishers, search engine marketers etc.
What is an Advertiser?
An Advertiser, also known as a merchant, is a company that sells a product or service online. Affiliates promote an advertiser's product or service by placing the advertisement on their own websites, e-mail campaigns and search listings in exchange for a commission.
How does Neverblue fit in with Advertisers and Affiliates?
Neverblue connects Affiliates with Advertisers via our proprietary Affiliate platform. Advertisers post ads on the network and the Affiliates take the ads they want to promote. Neverblue's Affiliate network gives Advertisers enhanced exposure and Affiliates higher payouts.
What is Performance Marketing?
Performance marketing is essentially low risk marketing, meaning you only pay when a lead or sale is generated. Unlike traditional marketing where you pay for an advertisement up front, advertisers only pay when they get positive results.

Affiliate Approval

Do we accept International affiliates?
Yes, we welcome affiliates located across the globe. However, Affiliates from some geographic regions may require references to be accepted onto the network.
Is phone verification of an application necessary or can it be done using Instant Messenger (AIM, MSN, Yahoo) / ICQ / Skype / Email?
Phone verification is a mandatory part of our Affiliate approval process. No other means of verification will be considered. However, following approval if you prefer to communicate using IM, Email or any other means, we can generally accommodate that request. We do require that your account contains an updated phone number at all times.
Will I be approved if I don't have a website?
If you can provide an acceptable means of promoting our ads during the phone verification portion of your application approval process, you will be still be considered.
What are the various reasons for which Neverblue may deny an Affiliate from joining the network?
The main reasons for which we deny Affiliate applications are:
  • Failure to successfully contact an Affiliate during the phone verification portion of our application approval process - Affiliates who submit an inaccurate or incomplete phone number in their application will be declined. Please submit the country code, area code and full phone number in your application. Affiliates who do not answer our verification phone calls and fail to call or email back within a given time period following our initial call or email will also be declined
  • Unapproved site content - We do not accept sites with adult, gambling, or any other questionable content
  • Inaccurate application information - We cross reference application information and if it is determined that an Affiliate has submitted a false name, phone number, address or site, they will be denied
What's the fastest way to be approved?

We strive to provide our Advertisers with choice Affiliates, and in return, we provide our publishers with exceptional customer service and access to the industries top performing and highest paying offers.
