its all about twitter followers, facebook users, social traffic, great video, great stats, great facts
 
Reasons to group campaigns:http://blog.clickint.net/index.php/2010/02/reasons-to-group-campaigns/
Why did we come up with this idea? Here are some of the reasons:

REASON 1
• If you have 2 campaigns, for example: Diet Pills (US, CA), and My best Diet Pills (US, CA, UK, MX). Which one to use? The one who take more countries or the one with the biggest payout?… This is not good… why we can’t use both? Well now you can, if you are getting visitors from MX or UK you can load the one that allow them to check, if the visitor is from US or CA then show them the biggest payout!!! Improve your affiliate programs earnings

REASON 2
• Why if you are running an affiliate program and get some Geo Targeted campaign you are using the network default redirect? I want to use something mine, and I want to monetize that

REASON 3
• As simple as you can be improving your affiliate revenue by monetizing your international traffic

REASON 4
• What if you have 2 campaigns, accepting US traffic, and one is not converting for some users, but they want to see some other banner? What if other campaign can work on that spot, why don’t try both at the same time?

REASON 5
• As a webmaster you don’t want to show your users an error like:
Affiliate Program Redirect for international traffic
or:

International traffic message
 
This is an example of how we plan the ClickInt campaign groups and banner rotator to be used:

We are running a tech site, it has RSS, we drive traffic there thru Facebook and Twitter, plus the organic traffic that gets there thru search engines all days, we were using affiliate programs that were all USA targeted

But what happen, some of the articles were having traffic from Spain, another articles are more attractive to Mexican users, Brazil users and more.

It is good to have that kind of traffic going on your site, and see how the Google Page Rank keeps going up and getting indexed, but we were wasting some traffic regarding the affiliate programs as you can see in the image (print screen from Google analytics)

So we were doing some research and trying to get some offers that take all those countries, we took an Acai offer who accepts traffic from Latin America, so Mexico and Brazil were covered, then some freebies from UK and as well the ones we were running from US

So now, with ClickInt, we grouped all the offers, grab the banner code, and it will automatically load the program related to the user, if he was from Brazil then the Acai Banner appears, same as Mexico, if the user came from US, he will see some Free Iphone banner.

After this we decided to add more US campaigns, so those banners were randomly loaded, so some users will get Free Iphone, and other ones some Toolbar offer, or if the same user visits 2 pages he will see different banners hoping that one of those grab his attention


or or its loaded

For the moment we have being improving, since we weren’t monetizing the intenational traffic till now

Hope this help you to improve your traffic
Cheers,

This is how Ikea promote their company in a new country, promoting everything on a free basis, in an existing platform

 
Working with sub id’s is something pretty important in this industry, if you are sharing your links, you will like to know which user was doing better or many affiliates have more than one site or newsletter, of if an affiliate is working on some incentive mode and has a distinguish mode, you will like to know the breakout of this information, and which one needs to improve, as well a huge list of option you can imagine (spots, pages, post’s)

We have a pretty easy way of getting it done, once you have a campaign with us, and you assign the campaign to a group, it will be ready to be live, and you will need to copy and paste the code, and start tracking

But, if you want to place the code, or the link in different places, you don’t have to create it twice, you just need to add a value the one you like



This is my banner code:
<a href=”http://tracking.clickint.net/tracking.aspx?cid=2&gid=21&sid=”>

<img src=”http://tracking.clickint.net/image.ashx?cid=2&gid=21&sid=” alt=”" border=”0? />

</a>

Affiliate SubID's

I copy and paste it, now, if you look closer to it, and see the link:

http://tracking.clickint.net/tracking.aspx?cid=2&gid=21&sid=

you will notice that it ends on “=” after that just feel free to add some SubID’s you like, the rest is up to ClickInt, it will generate the sub id report, it will save your sub ID’s, and you can specialize the traffic in a way you want

Examples:

http://tracking.clickint.net/tracking.aspx?cid=2&gid=21&sid=Twitter

http://tracking.clickint.net/tracking.aspx?cid=2&gid=21&sid=Facebook

http://tracking.clickint.net/tracking.aspx?cid=2&gid=21&sid=SITE1

http://tracking.clickint.net/tracking.aspx?cid=2&gid=21&sid=AffiliateXXX
 
Need some reasons on why to cloak you affiliate links? well… ok please check the following list:

REASON 1
It’s better to keep your links hidden from the people. The downside is that the readers when they hover their mouse over a link, they can’t see where they’re going to go once it’s clicked, it will be better if it looks like an internal link.

REASON 2
The affiliate links are generally ugly, with some huge extra information, even your affiliate ID, which some people will not like

REASON 3
You are actually telling the people from where you are getting the affiliate program

REASON 4
Internet users generally don’t like the links, they know you are making some revenue out of it, plus the link is still ugly

REASON 5
it will give visitors more faith on your site, and you can improve your affiliate programs revenue
