Affiliates earn commissions for that. To run campaigns, to track all affiliates’ activities, advertisers need a perfect affiliate tracking application.

Necessity Of An Offer And Additional Offer URL

Offers are the heart of performance marketing. Offer means promotion of online products or services which affiliates can access and promote throughout the internet. Affiliate tracking link is the nucleus of an offer, which is used to redirect traffic to the offer landing page. Most of the time, offers and campaigns will have more than one landing page where advertisers want to send traffic to. Instead of creating a new offer for each landing page, advertisers can add additional offer URLs to the offer. Each URL can permit the affiliate to assign in which URL they want to send traffic to.

Creatives and Implementations of Additional offer URL

Creative files are necessary part of an offer. Advertisers upload Creatives for affiliates. Affiliates download Creatives from their panel. They always utilize Creative files in their campaigns to promote offer, so having powerful set of Creatives will enhance the performance of an offer. Creative can be many types such as Image banner, Flash banner, HTML Ad, Test Link and Email Creative.

HTML ad can be a best option to promote offer. While using HTML Ad as Creative there are so many landing pages URL. Assume in the HTML Ad there are three landing pages URL. All URLs’ destination is alike at http://www.abc.com.

But through Additional offer URL Advertiser can create multiple unique links which redirected to different landing pages. Let’s take an example to clarify it clearly.

Assume in the HTML ad there are three links which are redirected to same landing pages at http://www.abc.com. Now advertisers have created three unique Additional Offer URLs in a SaaS based application. They are

http://www.adwalnut.com.

http://www.google.com.

http://www.yahoo.com

After uploading the HTML Ad in the Creative, advertiser just edit the creative code and update it in the following manner

In the "href" portion of the creative code advertiser just append

href="{tracking_link}&url_id=1". url_id=1 means http://www.adwalnut.com. So the link is redirected to http://www.adwalnut.com.

href="{tracking_link}&url_id=2". url_id=2 means http://www.google.com. So the link is redirected to http://www.google.com.

href="{tracking_link}&url_id=3". url_id=3 means http://www.yahoo.com. So the link is redirected to http://www.yahoo.com

In this manner advertisers can implement Additional Offer URL in Creatives. After creating offers advertisers just share those offers with affiliates. Affiliates can see those offers from their panel. Each additional offer url permits the affiliate to assign in which URL they want to send traffic to.
