Reporting

How can I see a general overview of how well my campaign(s) are performing ?

On your home page, you can consult the “Quick Stats” and you can also run a “Quick Summary Report”. These reports will provide you with your basic KPIs. You can find more details by consulting the “Quick Overview of the Program” in the help files.

How do I know which of my sub-affiliates/referred members are generating commissions for me during a given period ?

You can find any and all figures relating to referred affiliates by pulling a “Referral Report”. You can find more details by consulting the “Managing your Sub-Affiliate Referrals” help file.

How can I review my player registrations ?

The home page of your program will indicate how many registrations you have had to date. The registration figures can also be viewed from a variety of system reports. Additionally, you can use the “Traffic Report” to review your registration ratios. You can find more details by consulting the “Monitoring your Earnings” in the help files.

How can I find the total revenue generated by a specific player?

A full breakdown of player revenue can be found by consulting your affiliate “Account Report”. You can find more details by consulting the “Monitoring player traffic” in the help files.

How can I review which are my top converting banners?

The most simply way of doing this is by using the “Banner Report”. This report provides a wealth of statistical information relating to banners and their performance. You can find more details by consulting the “Monitoring your Creatives” help file.

Where can I see the total commissions earned for a given month?

Total commissions earned can be viewed under the “Total Commissions” column for each report or by pulling a “Quick Summary” or “Earnings Report”.

I would like to receive an email notification whenever there is an update to the information found in the system reports. Is this possible?

While the above functionality is not currently available, you do have the ability to pull reports through an API Feed rather than logging into the system each time. The data in the program will be updated every 24 hours.

Creative Related

Where can I pull basic tracking code?

Each creative has a basic tracking code, which can be used for personal creative such as blogs newsletters, etc. This code can be pulled in the “Get your Ads” section of the program.

When I pull a banner from the system will my tracking code be auto-populated with the required information?

Yes, when pulling a tracking code the system will automatically add the selected site ID and creative ID.

What do the variables in the tracking links stand for?

There are three key variables inherent in the btag (or tracking link).Btag = a_(x)b_(x)c_(x)

A relates to the Site ID, this is a unique tracker which identifies an affiliate’s site and tags any relevant data to it.

B relates to the Creative ID, the marker of the creative that you have chosen to upload to your site.

C is the ACID/keyword. This can be populated with a keyword used in a PPC campaign or other promotional efforts to better evaluate their performance through the system reports.

Can I modify the banner code?

This is not recommended as you may accidentally disable click-through tracking, which will result in your data not being tracked and inaccurate commission payments. If you require keyword tracking, the program does allow the addition of a keyword within the tracking code.

What is a Flash banner?

A Flash banner is an optimized animation file that allows for a click-through to track website traffic.

When a player clicks on a banner, when is the information regarding the click-through and the impression displayed in the system?

Clicks and impressions are displayed within the first 20 minutes after being registered.

How can I track my PPC campaigns?

You can track your PPC campaign by adding keywords to your creatives and monitor them by using an ACID report. You can find more details by consulting the “PPC tracking” and “Monitoring Offline Codes and Keywords” documents in the help files.

Do I have to set up a new account if I want to add a new site/tracking profile?

Instead of opening a new affiliate account we recommended adding a new site or tracking profile to your existing account. This will ensure that your payments are streamlined in a way that is clear and easy to understand. You can find more details by consulting the “Tracking with different websites and marketing channels” document in the help files.

Can I only add websites under my Tracking Profile section?

The “Affiliate Tracking Profiles” section enables you to add and manage affiliate site IDs/profile IDs for your own tracking purposes. This way new IDs can be created for additional websites that you operate, PPC campaigns, Search Engine Optimization, email campaigns, offline marketing and any other area where you need separate tracking.

Can I use the same creative for different websites?

As long as it is not outside the “Terms of Use Agreement” with the operator, you can promote the same creatives for all your websites. You are also able to track your websites separately by adding the other websites to your profile. You can find more details by consulting the “Tracking with Different Websites and Marketing Channels” document in the help files.

How do I change my site ID for banners?

When changing the site ID for banners, you will need to pull a new tracking code for that creative. If you have trouble locating the creative, you can use the b_tag from your old tracking codes to find the creative ID number.

Before you make this change, a new site profile needs to be created, if not already in existence. You can find more details on how to create and pull tracking codes with different sites by consulting the “Tracking with Different Websites and Marketing Channels” document in the help files.

I have a broken link on my website where my banner should be. What should I do?

Make sure that the banner code contains the appropriate tracking code and is still active. When investigating if the banner is still active or if the tracking code is correct, run a creative search with the creative ID (this is found in the Btag in the tracking code).

If you cannot find the creative it is no longer in use and should be changed. Also, if the code was altered in any way from what was originally pulled from the system, it will result in a broken link.

Does Income Access use Connextra banners?

Income Access supports Connextra banners. If the program uses Connextra, you will be able to see this option in the “Creative Type” dropdown when searching for creatives.

I have a high number of clicks but no registrations? Is this unusual?

This could signify a couple of things. It could mean that automated software is targeting your ads and causing an unusual number of clicks. It could also mean that there was a peak period of clicks and the users have not yet registered.

Consistent review of the data on a day-to-day basis should help inform you as to whether this is a common occurrence or an anomaly related to a peak period of clicks.

Can I have a link to a landing page of my choosing?

Landing pages are defined by the merchant. As long as tracking is enabled on a given page, and it is offered in the creatives section,it can be linked to. If you wish to use a different landing page other than what is currently offered, please contact your affiliate manager.

Can I change the landing page and just attach the tracking variables?

No, this would not be feasible as the tracking code must never be modified. Making such modifications will break the tracking and if the landing page is not supported, tracking as a whole will not function. This would prevent relevant data from being tracked and displayed in the system reports. If you would like to have a different landing page made available, please consult your affiliate manager for access.

I just posted a new link on my site. How can I confirm if it is tracking?

There is a simple test that can be utilized if you want to confirm that your links are tracking. Pull the creative from the “Get your promotional materials” section of the system and copy the link to a Notepad document and save it as an HTML file. Clear your cookies/cache and then open the file with the same browser. Now click-through the creative.

When you check your cookies, you should find two tracking cookies, one from the affiliate site which measures clicks and impressions (if applicable) and a second from the merchant measuring sales and registrations. If these are not present, please contact your affiliate manager who will be happy to provide further assistance.

How can I confirm if a specific player has been tracked to my account?

You can see the player ID number and the player country (if applicable) in the “Account Report”. Player contact information, however, will not be available.
