What is an affiliate marketing vertical?
In marketing, a vertical or vertical market is a group of companies that targets the same group of consumers, also called a niche. In affiliate marketing, a vertical will regroup a set of brands and offers created to convert users who share the same traits (GEO, device type, language, interests, page views, even hobbies).
For instance, CBD affiliate programs are for affiliates whose users are in countries or states that are 420-friendly, browse holistic medicines content, and are concerned with health and wellness.

Adult gaming
If the word “joystick,” for you and your traffic, has a double meaning, the adult gaming vertical is your money maker!
Adult games are the perfect products to promote with adult traffic on websites or blogs featuring R-rated games or adult content. They’re the ideal combination between adventure and fantasy. Several users, men or women, D&D fans, or anime fans, or other niches can find adult games appealing. You never know who would explore their kinks and fetishes in the universe you’re promoting!
Why would you promote adult games to convert your traffic? Unlike live cam or adult tube sites, adult games make people comfortable to be aroused in environments they’re used to. They can be as diverse and colorful as your users are into: superheroes, anime, fighting, fantasy, etc. The conversion potential on these games is huge!
Plus, more games are being developed for PC or mobile. The digital gaming market is expanding, and it’s expected to reach $200 billion by 2023! Increased accessibility and variety make it easier for people to simply Google and download a game they heard of. Only, if it happens through your site or app, you cash in on your users’ subscriptions or spendings on a game.
Adult games are a safe bet. First, solo play with adult content is getting more accessible and acceptable as well. Not only is it legal in the US, but it’s also considered normal behavior. Second, adult games are more interactive than cam sites or tube sites, similar, yet very different adult-related industries. Adult games are here to stay, and they’re only gonna get more popular with new tech hitting the market, such as virtual reality.
Wanna make money in this world with adult games and high-quality traffic? Here are a few tips:
- Sell the storyline in your ad
- Showcase the game’s unique features
- Leverage gaming-related keywords
- Explore non-traditional affiliate channels
Worried about a particular game’s legitimacy? Know that CrakRevenue ensures that all advertisers are legit. But we also recommend that you research and read the reviews on a game before you promote it to make sure there are no hidden fees.

CBD
If there’s a vertical that sounds like green dollar bills raining from the sky, it’s the CBD vertical. That industry was valued at $9.1 billion in 2021. Since the legalization of cannabis in many states in the past few years, more companies pop up in the US, manufacturing health and wellness products with cannabidiol (CBD), the active ingredient in the hemp plant that doesn’t cause a “high.”
The green market has been expanding like crazy in the past decade. It now includes products that help treat chronic pain, depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders.
Bloggers, e-commerce website owners, podcasters, and holistic-medicine YouTubers are the ideal affiliates to promote CBD advertisers. If the words “organic,” “bio,” and “natural,” are a huge part of your platform, you can’t go wrong with CBD brands. As long as your audience is mostly adults based in the US who are generally interested in health and wellness topics, you have a HUGE conversion potential.
What are the advantages of promoting CBD offers? Well, on the market side, CBD has become a mainstream active ingredient that has gained the government and the general public’s approval. To some, it’s a great alternative to prescription meds that may come with indesirable side effects.
On the affiliate side, you’d be promoting offers leading to diverse high-end products (tinctures, creams, gummies, and even pet treats). Our CBD vertical includes more than 15 US-based companies with glowing reviews from users. These CBD affiliate programs include offers with pay-per-sale and RevShare payouts.
If you want to maximize your earning potential with CBD affiliate programs, make sure you
- Only advertise to the GEOs listed in the offer
- Avoid making any medical claims about a product
- Educate your audience about the uses of CBD-derived products
- Monitor and optimize your campaigns
