You probably noticed there have been some updates made on the publisher end of our network over the past month. We are always working to improve our network and the feedback on our latest updates has been great!
Trust Rating Removed
We removed our five start trust rating system and replaced it with something more simple – total conversions. You can now see how many conversions each offer within our network has had. This gives you a better idea of how much traffic has been sent to each offer by our other publishers.
New Reports Page
We have done some major updates to one of the most important pages on our entire site, the total reports page. It is important for you to be able to easily analyze your reports so we have made a bunch of changes to help you with that.
As you can see you can now expand each offer and see individual subid statistics for it. Each subid shows it’s own stats now as well (Unique Clicks, Raw Clicks, Conversions, etc…). We also added a total bar at the end of the report so you can see you are doing with your campaigns overall.
We are excited to bring you these updates and have more on the way. Your feedback is really appreciated. If you have any questions or comments about these new features please feel free to post a reply below or contact a member of our team.

You may have noticed the new Rewards link in the PeerFly menu. It is for our new PeerFly Publisher Rewards program we just released.
This rewards program has been something we have been working on for awhile now and we are very excited to release it to our publishers. You can now earn rewards based on the amount of commission you earn each month. Earn just $999 to get your first reward. We will ship the reward directly to your doorstep or you can choose to have a cash reward added to your next payment.
Please let us know if you have any questions or comments about our new rewards program. You are welcome to comment below or message us using the contact form.

One of the nice things about creating PeerFly from the ground up is that we have complete control over the features in our network. We can build these features around our publishers requests, which makes things more efficient for both our publishers and our support team. One such feature is our pixel placing tool.
In the past if you wanted to get your own tracking pixel placed on an offer so you could use your own tracking software (such as Tracking202) you would have to e-mail it to your affiliate manager and then wait for them to add it and e-mail you back to tell you that it has been added. Most affiliate network tracking platforms now have their own way for you to add your pixel to the landing page, but ours here at PeerFly is one of the simplest and quickest solutions.

You’ve probably noticed that PeerFly has been adding tons of new offers lately. One of the verticals we have really been working on expanding is our “As Seen On TV” offers. These offers convert very well due to the fact people are already familiar with the products from television advertising. And lately we have improved our relationships with several advertisers and been able to get TOP PAYOUTS on nearly every one of our As Seen on TV offers.
Examples: Snuggie (US, CA) has a payout of $15.50 ! Shamwow pays $11.25! Magic Jack earns you $26.75 per conversion! Flirty Girl Fitness pays you $20! SpaceBags has a payout of $15.50! Shoes Under is at $18.25 payout. Jupiter Jack (US, CA) is at $18.25. Always Fresh Containers pays $14.75 per conversion.
All in all you will find that you can’t get payouts this high anywhere else! Take the offer Ab Rocket for example. PeerFly Pays $48.50, where other networks are only paying between $32-$40!! If you happen to find a better payout on any offer we are running let us know and we can almost always get you a payout increase. We encourage you to try out these “As Seen on TV” offers and if you need any help setting up campaigns, selecting traffic sources, or anything else feel free to contact your Affiliate Manager https://peerfly.com/contact.php
Take note that most of the As Seen on TV offers have strict TM restrictions. This means that if you are promoting the offers via PPC you absolutely CAN NOT bid on TradeMarked terms or variations. If you were promoting Snuggie, for example, you cannot bid on the word Snuggie or any misspellings or variations. It is a good idea before you begin a campaign to understand all of the requirements and restrictions for promoting it. Publishers found to be breaking restrictions on any offer will be blacklisted from that offer and may risk losing earnings. Take a few minutes to read over these on the info page for each offer and feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
As the new year approaches PeerFly is working nonstop to make sure you will have plenty of offers to take advantage of new year’s resolution traffic. If you have any specific offer requests just email offers@peerfly.com or get with Luke or Travis.
To all our publishers: We appreciate your hard work this year and hope everyone enjoys the holidays. Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, and no matter which holiday you celebrate have fun and stay safe!
-Travis and the PeerFly Team

With the holidays coming up we decided it might be nice to send out a gift to some of our top publishers. Just a little something to show you that we appreciate having you as a part of our network. So, if you have been paid over $500 this year by us and live within the United States or Canada you can expect to receive one of these on your doorstep in the next few weeks.

As we mentioned a few days ago in an e-mail sent out to all of our publishers, the Federal Trade Commission has made changes in the law regarding the use of endorsements and testimonials in online marketing. All of these new changes went into effect on December 1, 2009.
Here is a summary of some of the changes. You can view the entire article here. We have also included articles from the Washington Post and Wall Street Journal below outlining the changes.
- Endorsements must reflect the honest opinions and true experience of the endorser. If paid actors are used, this fact must be disclosed.
- Endorsements may not contain any representations which would be deceptive, or could not be substantiated, if made directly by the advertiser.
- Endorsements must be representative of what consumers can reasonably expect to achieve. Any claim made by the endorser must reflect the opinion or experience of a significant proportion of consumers. Disclaimers like “results not typical” are no longer sufficient.
- All material connections between the advertiser and the endorser (including research or medical organizations) that consumers would not expect must be disclosed, including free products or monetary compensation.
There are already several different articles out there reviewing these new changes.

Unlike most other affiliate networks, PeerFly has been custom built from the ground up by our own in-house programming team. Our team works around the clock to not only add new features to our network, but to also update old features to make them better and more suitable for you. We test these features extensively and once we see they are working properly we add them to the network. Here are a few updates that we have recently added that you should check out.

Hello everyone! My name is Luke Kling and I am the new team member here at PeerFly. I am taking over the “Affiliate Manager” position and a few of the other team members are being moved around, but first let me tell you a little bit about myself.
I am currently enrolled at Illinois State University as a Junior and I am studying Information Systems Web Application Development. Building websites has been a passion of mine since I was about 13 years old and during that time I have tried to learn everything I could about everything on the Internet. Eventually, that led me to affiliate marketing. To make a long story short I have been working in the affiliate industry for about 5 years now and that has brought me to PeerFly.
Here at PeerFly I will be working directly with Publishers providing general support, guidance, and management. You are welcome to contact me anytime if you have any questions. My contact information is listed on the Contact PeerFly page.
Other Team Changes
You may have noticed a few other changes on our Contact page. Travis, who was previously a PeerFly Affiliate Manager, is now in charge of Advertising/PR. Corey, who was in charge of Advertising, is now our primary Fraud Prevention and Approvals guy.
Again, please feel free to contact me anytime. I look forward to working with you all!
