Dear Warriors,

Thank you for the wonderful information in this forum. I have some questions that I believe it has not been asked yet. Maybe I'm just too new in it. I hope anyone could give me some pointers in this.

I'm using Affiliate.com. Whereby there's tons of email/zip submit campaigns.

From the offer description page, I'm given

Contextual Creative
Please Enter Number Of Deployments
Name For Creative Deployments
Specify Drop Size Deployment
Login Password

My Question is, how do I use these settings? Under what circumstances that I would need more than 1 deployments? What are the drop size deployment? What is the login passwords for?

There's another type for Banner Ads

Where I can add 5 Sub ID to the click code.

What Is the sub Id for and how can I use it? Can someone please kindly give me an example of how sub Id is used?

If I missed out any of the columns above, will my traffic and leads be counted as well?

Just need to make sure.

Thanks in advance for everyone!

I hope this post will be useful for CPA newbies.

Best regards,
Rayson

I don't use affiliate.com so honestly it's a little tricky , but:

SubID's allow you to track different traffic sources by appending an a set of characters to the URL.

When you then login to your stats at affiliate.com you will be able to see the clicks/conversions etc for each of the sub id's that you set up and utilised.

Creatives are the type of link you require , and you should try and use the correct creative for your campaign.

For example , use the banner creative code just for banners
Email creatives just for e-mail marketing.
Contextual when using PPV etc.

Simply select the creative that is specific to however you're promoting.

So, regardless of whether I fill in the SubIDs or not, i should still get paid from my marketing campaign as long as I deploy the creatives right?

Thanks Simon.

Correct, they are just for additional tracking.

then how about the Specify Drop Size Deployment & Login Passwords?

SimonHarrison

Specify drop size deployment, honestly not a clue, would help if I worked with affiliate.com

It's not simply the creative banner size options is it ?

"Login/passwords", as far as it relates to creatives, not a clue, I have accounts with 50+ networks and never had those terms used in that context.

Typically I would just say it's the link for you to change your login password, but obviously that's not it.

Sorry, without being able to see exactly what your seeing in context I can't offer any more useful feedback.

The creative deployments is just a kind of subid's that you can go back and use again, if you press "tools" and then "Deployed Creative - View" you can see all the creatives you have deployed, the only use I can see for it is as subid's. If any know more please advice!

You don't have to use neither subid's or deploy creatives to get paid, they are only for you to keep track of what converts

When using creatives you can see what offer that got the click and lead, when using subid's you can only see your subid, that's the only big difference between those two as far as I know.

I don't know what the password and drop size is for, the number of deployments just makes two with the same "subid" but with a different and number (ex. 70001 and 70002)

This is just how I think it is, if any know exactly what the creative deployments is please let us know.
