Question for all the CPA firms who read this forum

I am in development of a script and have a few questions for some of either A) active CPA promoters who have good knowledge of the current CPA networks or B) CPA networks themselves.

Hopefully I can get some answers... Basically I need to know if there are any CPA networks which:

• Allow API access to dynamically generate Sub ID's

• Provide RSS or other API access to your account updates

• barring the above, upon offer completion, send the user back to a default page with completion variables

For anyone with this information, I would be greatly appreciative of this information, and networks who DONT currently offer these things and wonder why I am in need of them can PM me and I will explain their use in my development script

Thanks in advance

Hi FM,

MaxBounty supports sub-ID tracking/postbacks as you've requested. However, it would be up to you to generate the sub-ID dynamically. You pass it to us on the click, we pass it back to you on the callback.

We also provide a SOAP based API so you can pull your stats, etc.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

 

Awesome... these are the things Im looking for. What is maxbounty's stance on membership before site goes live? I'm going to need some sandbox availability to do implementation testing once my engine is complete.

Thanks in advance for your response

 

Typically we don't as we need to make sure a site meets our terms and conditions. But if you shoot me either a PM or an e-mail with the details of your site, we should be able to work something out.

 

Sorry for the really novice question, but can someone explain the benefit of a sub-id? I just don’t quite get the concept.

I have seen many sites explaining how to implement sub-ids, but I need to start with square 1 on what is a sub-id.

Also If I want to track the url on Yahoo, Google, and MS, would I have to create 3 unique tracking sub-id urls for each ad network? It’s still unclear to me how I could track ad networks individually using some of the sub-id features available in CPA networks where they allow you to create 5 sub-ids at once. How do you know which sub-id should be tracked for Yahoo for Google for example.

Thanks.

 

Sub-ID lets you track and match up which campaigns your incentive members sign up for. Outside of the incentive world, it can also be used to track conversions from traffic sources.

 

Can someone explain how a referral program works from the perspective of the referrer and the referee. Thanks.
