TradeDoubler

TradeDoubler was founded in 1999 in Sweden and was among the earliest dedicated affiliate networks to operate across Europe, giving it a particularly strong footprint in Scandinavia and continental Europe that newer entrants haven't fully matched.

It's publicly listed on NASDAQ Stockholm and has been majority-owned by French media group Reworld Media since increasing its stake to over 50% by 2023.

The network reports over 2,000 advertisers, 180,000-plus active publishers, and operations spanning 80-plus countries, working with recognizable brands like Microsoft, HP, Accor Hotels, and L'Occitane. Signup as a publisher is free: you register, select your country and preferred verticals, and typically wait one to two business days for verification before browsing the advertiser directory and applying to individual programs.

A notable technical strength is TradeDoubler's advanced tracking, including cross-device and post-view tracking, intended to capture more conversions across the multiple touchpoints a shopper might use before buying.

Payments are generally monthly on Net-30 to Net-60 terms via bank transfer or PayPal, with a minimum payout threshold that varies by country, commonly cited around €50 in the Eurozone or £30 in the UK.
