Affiliates
The wide distribution network is equilibrated by a CPA affiliate network[3] called DarkBlue.com and a PPC based contextual advertising network called Roar.com.

Primary Traffic
The company focuses on providing the best quality traffic based on the “primary traffic” concept. Primary traffic is created when the original idea is performed in action via a keyboard, called the keyboard test. This action is performed either by searching a keyword phrase or by typing in a domain name into the address bar of the internet browser. This is known to generate the purest quality of online traffic.
