The affiliate portal: offers and encrypted links, sub id tracking, postbacks to your own tracker, earnings reports, and referrals.
Affiliates get their own portal - a self-service home for finding offers, grabbing links, watching earnings, and wiring up their own tracker. Everything in it is hard-scoped to the signed-in affiliate: your numbers are yours alone, and nobody else's traffic ever appears in your view.
Browse the network's public offers with payout, type, and advertiser shown up front, and see your own offers - with approval status, payout terms, and start dates - under My Offers. Each of your offers comes with a ready-to-use encrypted tracking link, and every creative the advertiser supplies (email, banner, text link, pop-up, pop-under, video) carries its own copyable link so your clicks attribute to the exact creative you placed.
Append the standard s1 through s5 parameters - or any named segments the offer defines - to your links and they are captured on every click. They come back to you two ways: broken out in your reports, and substituted into your postbacks.
Set up your own server-to-server postback URLs right in the portal - one global URL for everything you run, or per-offer URLs - and choose the event that fires them: conversion recorded, approved, or reversed. Macros fill in the click id, payout, status, order details, and every sub id you sent. Delivery is queued with automatic retries, so a hiccup on your side does not lose the notification.
Filter your clicks, conversions, and performance by date range, offer, and conversion status. You see clicks and uniques, conversions by lifecycle status, your payout, and your EPC as payout per click, plus a sub id breakdown to show which placements actually convert. You can also schedule the dashboard report to be emailed to you, and pull the same stats over the JSON API with your own key.
Your bills and the payments against them live in the portal, so what you have earned and what has been paid is never a support ticket.
Your referral link carries your affiliate id; when someone signs up through it, they are stamped as your referral and you earn a commission - a percentage of their approved payouts, credited at most once per conversion. The portal lists who you have referred and what each referral has earned you.
