&subid=value1-value2-value3 can't your tracking system parse dash separated values ;)

Multi subids is on the TODO list. Any other requests?

Nice!

I have a few recommendations for new features for Neverblue (I know this thread has gone a bit off topic):

1. Multiple offer previews on offers with more than one landing page would be handy (under search creatives) - it'd save me time rather than having to find a proxy for the international offers and then preview each landing page.

An example would be Zwinky which has like 20 landing pages and a preview button for each would save me time.

2. Also dayparting graphs / reports would be useful - even though third party tracking like prosper have this it'd make shit easier when just checking over stats quickly.

3. Adding http referrer details in the reporting system would also be useful - I still get conversions and clicks daily from campaigns I've ran in the past, but have no idea where they're even coming from so this would be useful to see the referrer of each click. (I understand this might be used by fraudsters to ensure the referrer was blanked - so perhaps it could be only available by request or something).

4. An in house percentage weighted URL rotator to split test similar offers would be useful, obviously I can just use my own but this would save time and make things easier when just getting something set up to test the waters. ( - this would be good for you guys and it'd encourage affiliate to split test several your offers rather than other networks offers)

5. The thing I'd want the most is offer reports separated by country for offers that allow multiple country traffic. Right now for example I promote a campaign 5 different countries, and each has a different payout, I just use usa / uk / ca etc as SubID's and my own geo redirect script but this slows down my redirect process slightly, only works for users with JS enabled and is only 99.5% accurate, if having country reports built in I wouldn't need this, and this could make me another 1% which would add up to 5 figures over the year.
- I'm sure it'd make things easier for other affiliates as well to see which countries are converting best without having to set up their own redirect script.

Let me know what you think,
Cheers
 


I want an option to disable all geo based redirects on neverblue at the campaign level. Not change to another offer, just disable. So many times this causes me delays with reviews from specific traffic sources. I don't want to change links after they have been approved just because the reviewer is in another country (some traffic sources will ban you for this).

Hey, i went and looked at it myself and i can see what you mean. I talked to our Dev team and they said they have heard about the issue and are working on it. Unfortunately there is no quick solution. The fix is slated for the end of summer. I guess it takes some big code rewrites to do. Sorry about the pain.... for now you'll have to export the report to excell and sort.

If anyone has suggestions on how to improve the LinkTrust interface, please email them to me at jeremy@linktrust.com We do the best we can to build the tools you need, and your feedback is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Jeremy

Hahaha. You need new coders. That should take like 15-30 minutes.

If there was no international redirect it'd mess things up for the advertiser as they'd get retards trying to buy acai etc when it doesn't ship to their country.

But if you mean an country unavailable type of page so the reviewer can work out they're gonna need a proxy - they already have that if you add an international redirect by country for a particular offer (for all countries that the offer doesn't allow traffic from) and make it redirect to campaign ID 6776 ("Special Redirect Offer - "Offer Unavailable"")

This will show this page:
Offer Unavailable
Rather than an international redirect like SmileyCentral.

Its not good enough, I need to show the exact same page that users in the targeted country will see. And thats a bunch of bullshit about retards trying to buy something when it doesn't ship to their country. You're telling me the merchant processing can't be setup to process orders for only users from certain countries or the lead registration page to only fire the pixel when leads are generated from within those acceptable countries? The bottom line is this is my traffic, and if I want to send users "that don't count" to the page, knowing I wont get paid for them, I should be able to. Especially if not being able to screws things up for the sole reason that the ad reviewer is not going to see the page because they don't have a proxy / won't use a proxy / are a robot which is just checking for dispay url and destination URLs to match. Which costs me money, neverblue money, and the advertiser money.

I probably should just talk to my AM more about this, since they have always been helpful in the past, but if we are talking about feature requests, I want this.

I'm not saying it wouldn't be a good idea - it'd make things much easier for viewing US only offers for me (I'm from NZ), plus getting ads reviewed, but realistically having no international redirect is going to make more work for the advertiser, and it'll mess with their stats a bit unless they have country filtering, that is the reason some countries are blocked in the first place.

For example a colon offer with the consumers country not listed in their drop menu - they'll get idiots emailing the company asking if they ship worldwide. etc.

With Email submits they'll get users worth nothing to the advertiser so you'll get scrubbed like crazy, and they'll get more spam complaints as users will get mailed offers which go to irrelevant international redirects.

A USA insurance lead gen offer would think their average customer's Name and Email is worth less (as lots of sign ups would be international which aren't gonna buy USA insurance through their sales funnel).

etc etc

Another problem is a lot of offers, particularly email and zip submits go through their own redirection which filters the country for a second time anyway so IMO any good advertising platform should have the reviewer using a correct country proxy in the first place.

Just my $0.02, perhaps NeverBlue could think of a work around for this. I'd need it for different reasons than you - and a cool feature could be entering your own IP address into their system so you don't get redirected on any offers (of course this wouldn't fix your problem).
