PeerFly

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.
