Affiliate program. How does automatic monitoring of partner accounts work? Why did my rate change

Types of affiliate programs
You can typify affiliate programs depending on what they pay money for. There are several schemes by which payments can be made to participants:

Sales fee - СPS (cost-per-sale)
- pay per action - CPA (cost-per-action)
- pay per click - CPC (cost-per-click)
- pay per view - CPV (cost-per-view)
- pay per download - CPI (cost-per-install)
- multi-level marketing

Sales fee
A person who came through an affiliate link pays for a certain product; the webmaster who attracted him receives a reward as a percentage of the cost of the product. This type of affiliate programs includes programs for the sale of casual games, physical goods - books, flowers, contact lenses and virtual items - payment cards, hosting, media files.

Pay Per Action
Money is transferred for performing a certain action, usually filling out registration forms, subscribing to a newsletter, etc. This type includes programs for dating sites, online games, virtual currency exchange offices, and others.

Pay Per Click
The cost of one click on an advertising link or banner, which the advertiser pays to search engines and other Internet users for one attracted user to the site.

Traffic fee
Affiliate programs that pay per click or per impression can be combined as pay per traffic programs.

The PPV program requires a publishing partner (PP) to simply place an ad on their site and show it to visitors in order to earn their commission. The PPC system requires one more step on the part of the visitor. The visitor must not only see the ad, but also by clicking on it, go to the advertiser's website.

Initially, PPC was more common, but its use has been significantly reduced due to artificial clicks. Contextual advertising, such as Begun, Yandex.Direct, Google AdSense, is not included in these statistics. At the moment, there is no consensus on whether contextual advertising can be attributed to affiliate marketing.

Pay per click prevails as a payout method in PPC systems based on displaying contextual advertising. Pay per impression is the most common model of payouts for showing ads (banners). PPM is used by Google in the AdSense/AdWords system, but this is more of an exception in search marketing.

In other words: "A" participates in the affiliate program and receives payments for the confirmed activity of the visitors he attracted. If "A" attracts "B" and "C" to participate in the affiliate program, then all the future benefits that "B" and "C" will receive will be reflected in the income of "A" as a kind of small commission.

Like a snowball, the system brings profit to a whole hierarchical network of partners who may not even be aware of the existence of each other, and does not forget to bring profit to the very top of the pyramid.

Types of affiliate sites
According to the type of membership in the affiliate program, sites are distinguished:

Directly participating in affiliate programs
- Joining partner networks
- Attracting advertisers on their own terms
- Toolkit[edit | edit wiki text]
- Some merchants have their own affiliate program while others use third party services. These are some services that provide intermediary transmission of traffic or sales from partners. Sellers can choose between two solutions in this area:

standalone software
affiliate networks
The tools for working with affiliate programs (for partners) also include:

Affiliate link protection methods
Affiliate program management
The functioning of a successful affiliate program requires constant support and work on it. Running a profitable affiliate program is a lot more difficult than it might seem at first. Those carefree days when an affiliate program generated an acceptable income, and the owner did not have individual people who would deal with it, have sunk into oblivion.

Rogue affiliate programs were one of the reasons unscrupulous affiliates could do whatever they pleased: spam, cookie clipping, misleading ads, etc.

Search for partners
Affiliate networks with a large number of advertisers usually have an extensive list of professional partners. Most of the partners can be attracted by spending some effort, or they can join the affiliate program themselves.

Sites that attract the same audience as the advertiser site, but are not competitors, are potential partners. Even a direct seller or buyer can become a partner if it makes sense and does not violate legal restrictions or regulations.

Search for an affiliate program
Affiliate program lists are one of the methods for finding the right affiliate program. Another method is huge affiliate networks providing a platform for hundreds and thousands of advertisers.

Affiliate networks are good because in them, especially in large networks, you can find programs for almost any topic.

Notes
There is no particular difference between the terms CPA (cost-per-action) and PPA (pay-per-action), because they, in any case, imply payment for the action performed on the advertiser's website. It is just the formats and types of actions that differ. It is customary to distinguish between a lead (lead) and an action that implies the execution of a transaction (sale or action). A lead is most often understood as filling out a questionnaire, registering, filling out an application, etc. An action is usually understood as a purchase or order of goods in an online store, that is, an action that involves payment.

Lead is characterized by gaming affiliate programs that require registration, as well as credit ones, in which the remuneration is transferred to the webmaster for filling out the questionnaire.

For action, online stores are the main ones.

You can create your own tool to manage your tasks.

Especially for this, we have an API, with which you can add, delete tasks, enable and disable checks without entering your interface, but by sending special requests to our server.

You can spend quite a bit of time and write a special module for your system that will interact with our API through special commands and requests.

The scheme of work will be as follows:
1. You add a new task for verification through the API;
2. We check the work of the site you specified with a set period;
3. As soon as an error in the operation of this site is discovered, we notify you of this;
4. You, depending on your needs, notify the client, notify the employee, reboot the server - in general, do everything that needs to be done when the site stops working.

How much can you earn?

Let's count. For example, a very well-known hosting service charges 870 rubles per month for the server monitoring service. Let's estimate how much monitoring would cost us, say, once every 5 minutes - 34.56 rubles. per month. In total, we take 870 rubles from the client, we pay 34.56 rubles to us. Profit! :)

Adding a monitoring point

We need only 10 Kb of free space, PHP with the curl module, a permanent (preferably, but not required) IP address, FTP access. The load and traffic consumption are minimal, they do not go beyond the operation of a regular standard site (only a few requests per minute).

We need outlets in cities and countries where we don't have them yet. If you have the opportunity to place a point in another city, we are always happy to cooperate. You can see the cities where we already have points. But even if your city is on the list, write anyway - we will be happy to place another point in this city.

Write to be sure to indicate which company you represent and in which city you can place a point. We will notify you of the domain that will need to be attached to your server.

We come to the topic of affiliate commissions. You can negotiate a partnership for which you will pay a commission percentage with any of the groups: with subcontractors, with competitors, and with customers. But how to understand which of the partners the client came from? Or maybe he found out about you himself? Ekaterina Groholskaya and I continue to talk about partners, and today you will find out what mechanisms exist for tracking partner purchases online and offline. There are not so many of them, but they are proven.

By the way, at marketing trainings, our students do their homework on affiliate promotion. To make it easier for them, we made a small template table. If you want to organize your contacts and find partners among them, download our template under this article or right now.

Offline

Think logically: if a partner recommends you just in words, a potential client is likely to forget about it. Therefore, it is obvious that you supply the partner with the necessary materials, such as flyers and business cards. The partner cannot "tag" the person who came from him in any way, but you can mark your flyers and / or business cards.

• Make printing with distinctions, for example, different colors. Let you be an animator, you have three children's cafes as partners. In each you lay out your leaflets. A client who comes with a leaflet receives a 10% discount. How to track where exactly the client came from? Yes, just print flyers in different colors. And you will know that customers with red leaflets will go from the first cafe, with blue ones - from the second.
• Can print with identification marks: partner's phone number, special code and so on. This is more economical than printing three packs of flyers in different colors (cheaper in bulk). Print the same ones, and then you can use stickers with codes or leave a place where the partner will write his contacts. We had an example of such polygraphy in the last article.

You come with a leaflet - you get a discount, and the recommender - a reward on the phone

Online + offline

There are universal methods that can be used both on the Internet and outside it.

• Specify different contacts for different partners, unless, of course, you have such a technical possibility. If you are accepting applications for e-mail, then it’s not a problem at all, you can register as many addresses as you like and distribute them to partners. Set up the receipt of all letters in one box and you will not be confused with correspondence. If you accept applications by phone, then you can cooperate with call centers that provide such a service. It's for the money, but here everyone decides for himself.
• "Password" for clients- a method that is used more often for online practice or when information is transmitted in words. No need to print or stick anything, or register a dozen phone numbers. You generate a password for each partner, which the client then calls you to get a discount. For you - the accounting of named passwords. Partners, of course, will have to rely on your honesty.
• For those about whom information can be disseminated via the Internet, but customers come to a real store or office, there is an "old-fashioned" method - electronic promo coupons. This is the same printing, only it is not printed, but distributed by e-mail. The client must print the coupon or tell you the control word from it. Accordingly, each partner has their own coupon design or their own word. Such electronic coupons are used by the Yves Rocher store, however, not in the affiliate program, but in the customer loyalty program. So I'm just giving an example of how it might look.

Online

• Everything on the internet has been automated. It is possible to put tagged links to partner announcements and track using Yandex.Metrica or Google.Analytics, where and how many people came to you. You create special links with a code to your advertising on the network and by the code that will be displayed in the metric, you will know where the client came from. True, this system can be complex, and the metrics are periodically wrong. If for general Internet marketing analytics an error of 1-2 people is insignificant, then not counting a couple of partner orders can be unpleasant for a partner. However, the system is working. A labeled link looks like this:

• Perhaps the most convenient way to track the source of online purchases is affiliate program services. This is the only way in which the fact of making a purchase is seen not only by you, but also by the partner himself. In the case of flyers, passwords or phone numbers, the partner only learns about the purchase when you transfer commissions to him. The affiliate program service itself notifies the partner about the purchase.
