Six Years with Zeydoo: A Christmas Gift from an Old Friend

Today I want to talk about something a little different: Affiliates and affiliate networks.

At this time of year, anyone who works with networks usually receives a few Christmas or New Year gifts. They stand for a smooth year of working together, and carry the hope of going further in the year ahead.

Yesterday I received the gift Zeydoo sent. Honestly, every year they prepare something different, but this time it made me stop and think: I’ve been working with Zeydoo for almost six years now.

Networks you keep working with for more than five years are actually rare.

1. First time working together: February 2020

My first contact with Zeydoo was in early 2020. I got to know them through an email sent by PropellerAds. At the time I was still running Push COD on PA; after I got the email I signed up and tested them.

At first they mainly did Mobile Content and CPI offers; half a year later they gradually expanded into Crypto-related offers.

If you’re a long-time reader, you may remember a paid case study I wrote; one of the offers mentioned in it came from Zeydoo. At that stage they still allowed PropellerAds traffic, because back then it was essentially still a third-party platform integration.

2. The shift that began in 2021

Starting in 2021, Zeydoo clearly shifted toward In-house offers built around Survey CPL, that is, direct advertiser offers. Two IDs, 2025 and 2755, were true classics: they ran for almost four years and only recently officially left the stage.

During those years, many Affiliates actually ran quite comfortably on this play. There were payout cuts during the Survey CPL period too, but overall, the higher CR plus traffic-arbitrage pages largely covered that revenue fluctuation.

3. The model now: Fix CPL + Revshare

By now, Zeydoo has basically completed a new round of adjustments:

Fix CPL as the main model

Paired with a Revshare model

More stable, negotiable payouts

The benefit of this model:

You can put more energy into choosing channels and optimizing creatives, instead of constantly switching offers.

If you’re interested in custom Survey pages or arbitrage-style plays, see my previous article, “ProPush Constructor: Build Your Own Survey Lander for Arbitrage”.

4. But working together is never all smooth sailing

As an Affiliate, you run into these problems everywhere: disputes over traffic quality, offers suddenly paused, payment and deduction issues, and so on. Zeydoo does well here. They pay as often as twice a week at the fastest, which goes a long way for cash flow. And a stable Fix CPL lets you put the work into choosing channels and creatives without worrying about constantly switching offers.

If a platform technical problem (say a domain issue or a dead link) causes a clear loss, and you communicate it and provide enough evidence, they will usually compensate. For example, after a technical issue a while back, I received $150 in traffic compensation.

But if the traffic you send involves fake traffic or duplicate IPs, they will deduct the corresponding amount. I’ve been through a few deductions myself, so until traffic quality has been verified, don’t scale up lightly.

5. Final words

In 2026, the Affiliate road most likely won’t get any easier. But if you can meet a few “old friends” early on, the walk may go a little more smoothly.

If you’re running Zeydoo too, feel free to stop by and swap notes.
