Quick answer: Aragon Premium case studies show what a two-sided performance network produces when it finds a winning advertiser-and-traffic combination and replicates it. Across 2023 to 2025, network conversions grew 49% (from 1.35M to roughly 2.0M), margin expanded from about 25% to nearly 30%, and Aragon Premium paid out more than $36M to affiliates. Our flagship case study documents one home-equity partner scaling from about $270K to more than $3M in annual volume in two years. This hub collects that proof and the vertical studies that follow.
Why these results matter
A performance network is only as credible as the outcomes it can show on both sides of the marketplace. Most networks publish vanity logos. We publish the pattern: find an offer-and-traffic fit that converts profitably, prove the economics, then bring on more advertisers and more mature affiliates to run the same play. That is the thesis every case study on this page supports.
The proof is first-party. The figures below come from our own network reporting, aggregated and anonymized, not from a vendor survey or a borrowed benchmark. They describe real conversions, real payouts, and real margin across three full years of operating a transparent, fraud-screened network for advertisers acquiring users and for the affiliates who drive that traffic.
If you are an advertiser, these studies show whether we can build and scale your vertical. If you are an affiliate, they show whether we can get you on the right offers and get you paid. Both questions have the same answer, and it is on this page.
What do Aragon Premium's network results look like?
Aragon Premium grew for three consecutive years from 2023 through 2025, with conversions up 49%, margin expanding by roughly five points, and more than $36M paid out to affiliates over the period. These are network-level, anonymized figures – the macro proof that sits underneath every individual case study below.
| Metric (network-wide) | 2023 | 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conversions | ~1.35M | ~2.0M | +49% |
| Gross margin | ~25% | ~30% | ~5 pts |
| Paid to affiliates (2023–2025) | – | – | >$36M |
| Years of consecutive growth | – | – | 3 |
A few things worth reading into the numbers. Conversion volume growing while margin expands is the harder combination to pull off – it means we scaled traffic without buying it at any price. The payout figure matters most to the affiliate side: more than $36M moving to publishers over three years is the concrete version of "we get our partners paid." Three straight years of growth speaks to durability rather than a single lucky vertical. The individual studies below break the story down into where that volume came from.
Which case studies are available?
The home-equity-investment study is live now. The remaining studies are in production and grouped by vertical, drawn from the same first-party reporting. Each one follows the same structure: the starting point, what we changed, and the anonymized outcome.
| Case study | Vertical | One-line outcome | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home-equity investment | Personal finance / HEI | A home-equity partner scaled from ~$270K to >$3M in annual volume in two years | Live |
| Rewarded and gaming UA | Make money / rewards / games | Offerwall traffic converting well above buying-rate benchmarks on early in-app purchases | Coming soon |
| Insurance lead generation | Insurance | Multiple advertisers running profitable lead-gen across a competitive vertical | Coming soon |
| Personal finance | Personal finance / fintech | Mature finance publishers matched to high-intent offers at scale | Coming soon |
| Mobile app installs | Mobile app marketing | Install volume scaled with transparent traffic sourcing and fraud screening | Coming soon |

What is the flagship home-equity case study?
The home-equity-investment (HEI) study is the clearest example of the Aragon Premium playbook, which is why it is live first. In it, a home-equity partner scaled from roughly $270K to more than $3M in annual volume across two years – a multiple of more than ten times – while conversions climbed from the low thousands into the tens of thousands and cost per acquisition held steady.
The detail that makes it a network story rather than a single-account story is replication. We did not stop at one advertiser. Once the HEI economics were proven, we brought additional advertisers into the vertical and matched them with several seven-figure affiliates already fluent in home-equity traffic. That is the difference between a one-off result and a repeatable system.
The full breakdown – the scaling curve, the conversion and CPA trend, and how the advertiser and affiliate sides were built in parallel – lives in the home-equity investment case study.
How does Aragon Premium choose and scale a vertical?
We choose a vertical by finding a profitable advertiser-and-traffic combination, then we scale it by replicating that combination across more advertisers and more affiliates. The home-equity study is the template, but the same approach runs across rewards and gaming, insurance, personal finance, and mobile app installs.
In practice it works in three moves. First, prove the economics with one advertiser and a small set of capable affiliates, watching conversion rate and cost per acquisition until the unit math is clean. Second, recruit additional advertisers into the proven vertical so demand is not concentrated in a single account. Third, bring on more mature affiliates who already drive traffic and put them on the offers that fit their audiences.
Throughout, two things stay constant: transparency into traffic sources, so advertisers see where users come from, and fraud screening, so they pay for real users and not for fraud. Those guardrails are what let a vertical scale without margin erosion, which is exactly what the network numbers above reflect.

Frequently asked questions
What are Aragon Premium case studies? They are first-party proof of what our two-sided performance network produces – documented, anonymized outcomes for advertisers acquiring users and for affiliates driving traffic. The flagship home-equity study is live now, with rewarded and gaming, insurance, personal finance, and mobile app studies in production.
Are the numbers in these case studies real? Yes. Every figure comes from Aragon Premium's own network reporting, aggregated and anonymized for publication. We never fabricate results, and where a specific number is not publishable we describe the outcome qualitatively rather than inventing one.
Why are advertiser and affiliate names not shown? We default to anonymized framings such as "a home-equity partner" to protect commercial relationships. Some advertiser partnerships we keep close to the chest, and that confidentiality is part of why mature partners work with us.
What network-level results can Aragon Premium prove? Across 2023 to 2025, conversions grew 49% (from about 1.35M to roughly 2.0M), gross margin expanded from about 25% to nearly 30%, and we paid out more than $36M to affiliates over three years of consecutive growth.
Which verticals does Aragon Premium have case studies for? The live study covers home-equity investment within personal finance. Coming-soon studies cover rewarded and gaming user acquisition, insurance lead generation, personal finance, and mobile app installs – the verticals where the network drives the most volume.
How do I get a case study or proposal for my own vertical? Advertisers can contact our team for a consultation, and affiliates can apply to join. We will walk you through results relevant to your vertical and outline how we would build or scale it.
