Newbie: Is it OK to redirect traffic to a CPA offer this way?

yako · 01-10-2012, 08:08 PM

Hello,

I am really new with CPA, so excuse me if this seems a silly question but I couldn't get the answer elsewhere.

Some of the offers on networks like Peerfly, etc restrict certain types of traffic to some offers. So for example for an offer giving away a "$100 XXX Gift Card" you are not allow to send emails promoting the offer.

What I was wondering is if it is OK for me to send the emails with a link to a custom landing page I would create and then sending the users from there to the offer?

In case it is OK to do that, it is also OK to have some kind of automatically redirection instead of creating a page with graphs and content? Something like

"Thanks for your interest on the "$100 XXXX CARD" you will be automatically redirected to the offer in 5.4.3.2.1...

Thanks a LOT for your help!

Couldn't get the answer anywhere else. Did you try asking your affiliate manager?

I personally think it is fine to email people and tell them about an offer on a landing page. Your AM may or may not agree.

The automatic redirect, that would definitely not be okay if your AM found out.

If you use a custom landing page then yes, you can promote it however you want regardless of their restrictions.

If you choose an offer that doesnt allow email and you send your subscribers a broadcast that directs them to a landing page, its fine. Once the traffic hits your site, its no longer email traffic. Its traffic from your own page.

I was confused about this too until I spoke with Luke. They cant tell you how to promote your own site.

As for the redirect, you should ask Luke before you do it just to make sure. Until then, you could just iframe it. I know that is allowed as long as you use 100% width/height.

Thanks a lot for the answer! I just got my approval a few days ago, buy I will definitely mail my AM.

I think that if iframes are OK, then redirection will also be OK, but I will contact them just to make sure.

Thanks again for the help and the speed!

Best bet is to ask your AM.
