Comparing Commission Structures

Comparing Commission Structures

Not all $1,000 CPA offers are equal. Here's how to compare broker commissions accurately.

CPA Comparison Factors

When comparing CPA rates, check:

Minimum deposit requirement — $200 minimum vs $500 minimum dramatically changes conversion

Trading volume requirement — 2 lots vs 5 lots in 30 days

Clawback period — How long before the CPA is "safe"

Approved countries — Higher CPA usually means fewer approved geos

Payment timing — Some pay weekly, others monthly with 30-day hold

Real-World Comparison

Broker A actually earns you more per click despite the lower CPA.

Rebate Comparison

Compare per standard lot rates

Check if they pay on all instruments or just forex

Crypto and gold lots often have different rates

Ask about tiered rebates (higher volume = higher rate)

Revenue Share Gotchas

"60% revenue share" means 60% of broker's markup, not the spread

Check what instruments are included

Ask about negative balance protection impact on rev share

Some brokers cap monthly rev share payouts

The BIAFC Advantage

BIAFC has pre-negotiated the best rates with each broker. Our rates are typically 20-40% higher than applying directly because of our aggregate volume.

Building Your Broker Portfolio

The ideal portfolio:

2 CPA brokers — For immediate cash flow

1-2 rev share brokers — For long-term passive income

1 rebate broker — For active trader referrals

Mix of Tier 1 + Tier 2 regulation — For different audiences
