Vertical— what it means in affiliate marketing
A thematic niche of offers: gambling, nutra, dating, crypto, sweepstakes, finance.
Verticals differ in payout, moderation risk and how fast money comes back, so buyers specialise rather than generalise. Account supply and creative craft do not transfer between them as easily as it looks.
