How we work at Trafee: Full guide for partners

If you chose Trafee, you made the right call. We’ve been in affiliate marketing since 2017 and have already helped thousands of webmasters and media buyers launch, optimize, and scale their campaigns.

There’s no “secret sauce” or magic inside Trafee, just a transparent system, powerful tools, and a team that actually wants you to make money. Let’s walk through how everything works.

What do we offer?

With Trafee, you get access to 4,000+ offers across the hottest verticals, such as Dating (including AI Dating), Adult, Sweepstakes, and more. 

We work directly with advertisers, which means: fair, competitive payouts; fresh, active offers; and stable caps and volumes. In other words, you always have a place to send your traffic without worrying about dead offers or unstable payments.

Our key feature is AI-powered Smartlinks. This machine-learning system analyzes your traffic in real time and automatically selects the best-performing offer for each user. It takes into account:

  • Traffic source
  • Device (mobile, desktop, tablet)
  • Operating system
  • GEO
  • User language

Smartlinks fully automate your monetization. Want more control? You can always go manual: pick offers yourself, customize targeting, use your own pre-landers, and build your own winning funnels.

Step-by-step guide: How to get started?

Step 1: Registration

Registration is simple: enter your email, set a password, add your Messenger contacts (Telegram/WhatsApp), and confirm your email. 

Done. Your account is created.

Step 2: Demo access & questionnaire

Right after signing up, you get demo access. You can explore the dashboard, review available offers, and explore all features. Live traffic is disabled at this stage — learn how the platform works first.

To unlock full access, complete the chatbot questionnaire. You’ll be asked:

  • What type of traffic do you run?
  • Which verticals have you worked with before?
  • Which traffic sources are you using now (Facebook, Google, TikTok, Email, etc.)?
  • Which sources do you plan to use with Trafee?
  • Do you work solo or as a team?
  • How long have you been in the affiliate space?
  • What’s your expected monthly revenue?
  • Do you have stats or screenshots to share?

Be honest and detailed. This helps us understand your experience level and recommend the right offers and GEOs faster.

Step 3: Account approval

Once you submit the questionnaire, your profile goes to a manager for review. It usually takes 1–2 hours (up to 2 days).

Once approved, you will have full access to the platform. Plus, your personal account manager will be your main point of contact for strategy, offer selection, and optimization

What to do after approval?

Once your account is approved, you choose your approach: use AI Smartlinks or work directly with single offers.

  • If you want a fast start without micromanaging every detail, go with Smartlinks. They auto-optimize and route traffic to the best-performing offers for your audience.
  • If you prefer full control, choose offers manually, set your own targeting, build pre-landers, monitor caps, and scale only what brings profit. This path requires more work, but lets you squeeze the maximum out of your traffic.

Setting up tracking and postbacks

This step is CRITICAL. Without proper tracking, you’re basically flying blind — you won’t know which sources, creatives, or GEOs are actually making you money.

When you create a Smartlink or pick an offer, the system generates a base link. This link works, but it’s only a starting point. To properly track performance by sources, placements, and campaigns, you need to add parameters.

Use the subsource parameter to break traffic down by source. In your reports, you’ll clearly see which segments bring conversions and which ones just burn the budget. That’s how you quickly cut losers and scale winners.

If you’re using an external tracker (Voluum, Binom, RedTrack, Keitaro, etc.), you must set up postback tracking. That’s how Trafee sends conversion data back to your tracker.

Simply go to your Trafee dashboard, open the postback section, and paste your tracker’s postback URL. We automatically insert the correct tokens and variables, so your tracker receives real-time info on every conversion. 

We also support multi-postback — you can send conversion data to multiple systems simultaneously (for example, your main tracker and team BI).

Test conversion

Before sending a serious volume, you MUST run a test conversion. It takes 5–10 minutes and can literally save you from losing hundreds or thousands due to wrong tracking.

Steps:

  • Message your manager: “Need a test conversion.”
  • Your manager will generate a test lead (test registration or purchase).
  • Check the following: Did the conversion appear in your Trafee dashboard? Did the data reach your external tracker? Do the numbers match in both systems? Did all your subsource parameters pass correctly?

If everything is synced and accurate, you’re ready to go live. If not, fix the setup with your manager before sending real traffic.

Skipping this step is one of the most common reasons beginners lose money: they launch traffic without verifying postbacks, and they can’t see what actually works.

Launch and scale

Start with tests. Don’t burn $500/day from day one on an untested setup. Launch a test with $50–100 and monitor performance. You’ll usually see the first results within a few hours.

Your dashboard shows:

  • Clicks
  • Conversions
  • Your revenue (in real-time)
  • Device breakdown (mobile, desktop, tablet)
  • OS stats (iOS, Android, Windows, etc.)
  • Browser stats
  • Full GEO splits
  • Performance by traffic source

From there, it’s all about optimization: scale what brings profit, cut what drains budget, test new GEOs, angles, and creatives, and continuously refine your funnel.

  • See a GEO with higher conversion rates? Raise bids and budgets there. 
  • Mobile beating desktop on ROI? Shift your focus to mobile. 
  • Got a winning combo (offer + creative + source)? Scale it hard until caps or performance drop.

Payouts: when and how?

Minimum payout is $100. But for new affiliates, we offer a special “Starter Pack” with softer conditions:

  • During your first 3 months, you can withdraw from $50 (up to 2 times), even below the standard minimum
  • +10% bonus to your earnings on the first payout
  • Trafee merch after 4 successful payouts

So if you make $60 in your first month, you don’t have to wait until you hit $100 — you can already cash out.

So if you make $60 in your first month, you don’t have to wait until you hit $100 — you can already cash out.

Important: your first payout is subject to a 7-day hold. That means your first payment will arrive one week later than usual.

Why? This is standard anti-fraud procedure. Advertisers must verify that the traffic is real and compliant. After your first payout, the hold is removed, and subsequent payouts are processed without delay.

Experienced partners with clean stats and proven traffic quality can negotiate earlier hold removal. Just discuss it with your manager.

We support payouts via:

  • PayPal 
  • Wire transfer (bank)
  • Webmoney
  • Capitalist  
  • USDT TRC-20
  • Bitcoin

Which traffic do we accept?

We work with:

  • Email newsletters
  • SEO (organic search traffic)
  • Social media: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, Pinterest, LinkedIn, etc.
  • Mediabuy: ad platforms such as AdRoll and Outbrain.
  • Pop traffic: pop-ups and pop-unders (quality-sensitive)
  • Push notifications: high CR when sources are clean
  • In-app traffic: from mobile apps

We DON'T accept: 

❌ POF, Snapchat, Kik, MeetMe, Badoo, Skout, Discord, WhatsApp, Manhunt.net — strictly prohibited 

❌ Incentivized traffic — paying users for clicks/registrations (fraud, not sustainable) 

❌ Bot traffic — automated or fake activity 

❌ Proxy/VPN traffic — we detect and filter it 

❌ Emulator traffic — also detected and blocked

How do we control quality? We use a multi-layer fraud prevention system:

  • traffic scoring across 20+ parameters
  • AI models to detect suspicious patterns
  • manual checks by our team
  • continuous monitoring and optimization

If we detect fraud, the account is banned without a refund. We prioritize long-term, transparent relationships with both affiliates and advertisers.
