Daisycon

Daisycon is one of Europe's longer-running affiliate marketing and lead generation networks. Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Almere, the Netherlands, it operates as an intermediary connecting advertisers with a network of publishers across multiple countries. For affiliates, Daisycon is not a single brand to promote but a network offering access to over 1,700 advertiser programs spanning many industries.

About Daisycon

Daisycon was a pioneer in affiliate marketing, launching in the year 2000 as Affiliates.nl. It is now part of Linehub, a collective of marketing companies, and offers services across Europe with offices in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Norway, Denmark, Romania, Finland and Sweden. The company describes itself as a leading platform for affiliate marketing and lead generation in Europe, with 25+ years of experience.

The network connects advertisers with more than 40,000 partners. Publisher types include content sites, blogs, social media influencers, comparison and mobile sites, online marketplaces and email marketers. Beyond core affiliate tracking, Daisycon provides tools such as product feeds, comparison engines, a Chrome extension, dedicated voucher codes, an API and CMS connections, all managed through the MyDaisycon dashboard.

How the Daisycon affiliate program works

Daisycon operates a network model. As a publisher, you register (free) on the Daisycon platform and then apply to individual advertiser campaigns. Each advertiser sets its own commission structure — Daisycon notes that in affiliate marketing the advertiser "pays a fee if one of the forwarded visitors makes a transaction," and that "this compensation usually comes down to a few percent of the purchase price." Some campaigns pay per lead rather than per sale.

According to a third-party directory, Daisycon offers single-tier commissions, meaning affiliates earn only on the sales they directly generate. Because rates, cookie windows, payout minimums and payment schedules are configured per advertiser and were not published on the pages reviewed here, you should verify the specific terms of each campaign inside the platform before promoting it. There is no single blanket commission rate that applies across the network.

To join, use the "For Publishers" registration path on the Daisycon homepage. Currency is typically EUR given the network's European focus, though this can vary by advertiser and market.

Who should promote Daisycon

Daisycon is best suited to publishers with European traffic — particularly in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the Nordics — who want access to a broad catalogue of local and international advertisers in one place. Comparison sites, coupon and voucher sites, content publishers, and email marketers will find relevant campaigns, and the availability of product feeds and dedicated voucher codes makes it attractive for those running deal or price-comparison properties.

• Content creators and bloggers who want to monetise European traffic across many verticals.
• Comparison and coupon sites that can leverage product feeds and dedicated voucher codes.
• Email marketers and app publishers looking for both affiliate and lead-generation (and app-install) campaigns.

If your audience is primarily outside Europe, or you're looking for a single high-ticket recurring SaaS payout, a network like Daisycon may be less of a fit than a dedicated program.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Large catalogue: 1,700+ advertiser programs across many industries.
• Established, reputable network operating 25+ years, part of Linehub.
• Strong European reach with offices in multiple countries and 40,000+ partners.
• Useful publisher tools: product feeds, comparison engines, Chrome extension, dedicated voucher codes, API and CMS connections.
• Free publisher registration and positive service reviews (e.g. helpful support noted on Trustpilot).

Cons

• No single headline commission — rates are set per advertiser and must be checked campaign by campaign.
• Cookie duration, payout minimum and payment schedule were not published on the reviewed pages, so you must verify inside the platform.
• Single-tier commissions only (no sub-affiliate/second-tier earnings, per third-party listing).
• Primarily European; less relevant for publishers focused on other regions.

Bottom line

Daisycon is a solid choice for publishers with European audiences who want one account that unlocks many advertisers. Because it's a network, treat "the Daisycon affiliate program" as a gateway: register as a publisher, then evaluate each advertiser's commission, cookie and payout terms before committing your traffic.
