Add a Tracking Domain

A tracking domain is the domain that is used for your linkcodes.

Offers

You can create new offers by going to the Offers Admin and click on the "Add Offer". Once created it will prompt you to enter details about the offer, the default landing page for the offer, geographic targetting for the offer and the marketing type. Once created, you can also edit your offers by clicking on the "Edit Offer details" in the Offers Admin.

• Offer Name
• Short Name - this is used for short name style linkcodes (affiliate.commission.offer.landing_page.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0)
• Offer Launch - the date you would like your offer to launch

Create Landing Pages

You will be asked to specify the details of your default landing page when creating an offer, but you can also create additional landing pages for your offer by clicking on "Add New Landing Page" action icon in the Offers admin. Additional landing pages can be used for the purposes of variety, special promotions or any other reason, providing your affiliates with multiple ways to promote your offers. The required fields for creating a new landing page are:

• Landing Page Name
• Short name - this is used for short name style linkcodes
• url - this is the url for which your landing page is located
• tracking domain - this is the domain that is used for your linkcodes

Creatives

Creatives are advertising tools that affiliates use to promote your offers on their sites and can be managed in the . Every time a visitor to your offer clicks on a creative link it counts as a page view for that affiliate and every time one is displayed it counts as an impression for the affiliate. There are multiple different types of creatives that affiliates can use to promote your offers including:

• Banners
• Downloadable and Embedded Videos
• Page Peel Ads and IM Popups
• Half/Full Page Ads
• Mailing Ads and Content Zips

Commissions

The Commissions Admin is used to set up how you provide compensation to your affiliates. There multiple different ways you can choose to pay your affiliates:

• raw page view
• unique page view
• qualified page view
• sale (flat rate and/or percentage)
• continuity (flat rate and/or percentage)
• CPM (1,000 impressions)

Linkcodes

Linkcodes are links that contain the offeritcode for the affiliate that can be used to direct visitors to a specific landing page. Affiliates can filter the linkcodes for which they have access by specifying a certain Offer, a Commission that they are enrolled in and Languages for which the Landing Pages are available. After clicking the "Apply Changes" button, at list of Landing Pages based on those filters will appear along with linkcodes for those landing pages.

Templating Offerit

Start templating your Offerit affiliate area and approval/denial templates. The amount of time you spend on this step can vary greatly depending on how much you want to customize.

• If you like our default templates and simply want to put your logo at the top of the Offerit page, changes in the affiliate area can take as little as a day.
• If you have your own design concept and want to build your affiliate area from the ground up, the process can take weeks or even months depending on how much you want to change or do, how much time you devote, and how many people you can put on the task.
• If you already have an existing HTML design that you want to integrate with Smarty (the templating engine used by NATS), we can provide a value added service where we will add the Smarty code to your HTML design at an hourly rate. If you are interested in this service, please submit a support ticket.
