Traffic requirements
Different networks have varying traffic thresholds. While some accept new websites, some premium networks require at least 10,000 to 100,000 monthly sessions. Assess your current traffic levels and growth projections to choose programs that align with your website's status.
Also, the earning potential varies significantly based on factors like your niche, traffic quality, and the geographic location of your audience.
I've seen people with 100K monthly visitors making less than someone with 10K targeted visitors. Why? Because a tech blog visitor from the US is worth way more than a random visitor from anywhere else.
Before jumping into any pay per click affiliate marketing programs, honestly assess your analytics.
