Types of banners and links available on AffiliationSoftware
One of the advantages of AffiliationSoftware is that there are many types of ads which the affiliate program administrator can make available to their affiliates to promote his website and products.
Link
The link is the simplest type of ad. The affiliates can easily publish it, by copying and pasting it into: websites, blogs, articles, emails, social networks, practically everywhere on the web!
Image banner
As the most widely used and well-known banner format for display advertising, image banners can be any size and can be static files (in jpg and png format) or animated (gif format).
Flash banner
The Flash banners contain more complex animations than image banners. A flash banner consists of an swf file that can be any size. In order to work an swf file, it must support the “clickTag” attribute.
Video banner
With the arrival of HTML5, video banners are used more and more frequently. Each video banner can be any size and, to allow support on all major browsers, must be available in both mp4 and ogg format.
You can make some advertising email, available to affiliates in HTML format. This type of ad is mainly used to make email-marketing campaigns (also known as DEM).
Text
Thanks to this type of ad, you can create ready-to-use advertising texts, such as blog reviews or articles which affiliates can publish with a simple copy and paste.
Text link
This type of ad is similar to the link but is in HTML format and is designed to be inserted into web pages and blogs. The link includes a text, usually a keyword or keyphrase, which is very useful for SEO.
Deep-Link
Even if you have hundreds of products in your e-commerce, you don’t need to enter a link to promote each one of them. Thanks to the deep link, affiliates can create links that point to the page or product they want to promote.
Social link
Social networks are a great source of traffic. Thanks to the social links, you can create special links with texts and images, ready to be shared with a simple click on: Facebook, Ewitter, Google +, Linkedin and Whatsapp.
Web page
You can create custom web pages and use them as a creative. Affiliates can directly promote their web page instead of the banner or link. The pages support post-view tracking.
