    Tatto Media Affiliate Network Breaks Out

    Posted by JasperP on June 29th, 2009

    tattomedia.jpg

    There’s been a lot of chatter lately in the blogosphere about the Tatto Media Affiliate Network. Affiliates are crediting their exclusive US and International offers as the reason that Tatto Media is one of the Fastest growing Networks out there.  

    A few competitive advantages have become immediately apparent. They prefer quality versus quantity when it comes to offers. How do I know this? Because they test all their offers before they are brought into the system. And, if an offer doesn’t pass Tatto’s litmus test, you’ll never see it.

    Additionally, they own the majority of their offers, which allows for that extra 20% of profit to flow to you and not the middle manning Network.

    They pay faster than anyone, as they are able to quickly assess the quality of leads with direct ties to the backend. 

    Tatto has also built their own tracking system using proprietary technology that is as accurate as it is easy to use. Their interface is slick and simple, yet allows you track your stats in a variety of ways including: hourly, by eRPC, CTR, CPL, proft, etc.

    Affiliates can place their own pixels on offers and go live without delay, so I can work my own hours and not worry about sleeping through an East Coast business day. 

    Tatto Media Affiliate Network is an avant-guard network that is changing the way Affiliates do business. I met my Account Manager, Mike Cataldo, at ASW in Vegas and Ad:Tech SF and he is a pleasure to work with.  From what I know, all the guys at Tatto are very responsive if you need anything, including bumps on your CPAs.

    Tracking202 Pro Is Finally Available To The Public!

    Posted by JasperP on March 25th, 2009

    In case you didn’t know already, Tracking202 Pro is finally out of beta and released to the public.  This is the hottest tracking system for search marketers and if you know the reputation of Tracking202/Prosper202, then you should know that this is a quality tracking system.

    thumb008_1.jpg

    What is Tracking202 Pro?

    Tracking202 Pro is a fully automated tracking system that pulls in data from the 3 major search engines as well as CPA networks to reconcile the revenue and cost data.  This means you can see the profitability from each search engine, keyword, text ad, etc without having the manually log the data in yourself!

    Sounds interesting, what are some of the features of Tracking202 Pro?

    • Full Integration with Google Adwords, Yahoo! Search Marketing, and Microsoft AdCenter
    • Full Integration with the Affiliate Networks
    • Check out your stats from an iPhone or web-capable mobile phone
    • The system updates all of destination URLs and pulls creatives automatically
    • Content network and search network can be viewed separately
    • Conversion tracking down to the keyword level
    • Bidded Vs. Searched Keyword Analysis
    • Real Time Spy View 

    I have Tracking202 already, why should I get Tracking202 Pro?

    T202Pro and T202 are completely different tracking systems.  This means that Pro is not an “UPGRADE” of the regular version but a different way of monitoring and optimizing campaigns.  

    If you have been using Tracking202/Prosper202 for awhile, you know the pains of searching for converting keywords in your campaigns and determining the profitability of them.  This system completely automates the cost analysis of your ads and keywords without having to go and look for them.

    How much does it cost?

    Tracking202 Pro is very affordable for the affiliate marketers looking to take it to the next level.  Now if you haven’t made your first sale yet, then I would probably stay away from this platform.  The pricing is basically a fixed monthly fee based on the number of clicks plus API fees and a fixed $0.004 click charge.

    Also, you get a 7-day Trial to check out some of the features of Tracking202 Pro.

    Check out the pricing by visiting the Tracking202 Pro page: 

    I’ve never heard of Tracking202, what kind of reputation do they have?

    I’ve personally met Wes and Steven and I can say that these two guys are one of the most respected and well-trusted people in the affiliate marketing industry.  They’ve put out a free tracking system (Tracking202/Prosper202) that has revolutionized the way we build our campaigns.  The Tracking202 Pro system is another quality tracking system that will take affiliate marketing to the next level.

    How To Find Out About CPA Offer Payouts

    Posted by JasperP on November 11th, 2008

    Usually when I hear of an offer, I’ll check the affiliate networks I’m associated with to see what the payouts are.  Sometimes, however, the offers aren’t available in my networks.  After that I check out two sites: Offer Vault and AffSpy.

    Offer Vault and Affspy are two sites that track various offers in the different affiliate networks.  I personally like Offer Vault better because of the fact that all the payouts and everything are laid out in front of you.  In AffSpy, you have to click through the offer to see which networks are promoting it.  I guess it’s a matter of preference but that’s the big difference to me.

    I did a search on “dating” and here’s what it came up with:

    offervault1.gif

    affspy1.gif

    Looking for a specific offer “Omaha Steaks”:

    offervault2.gif

    affspy2.gif

    You can see that the data is different. Offer Vault shows MaxBounty while AffSpy doesn’t have MaxBounty.  The data may not be consistent between both networks, but It’s good to have both, so sign up now! It’s free!

    My First Clickbank Direct Deposit

    Posted by JasperP on June 1st, 2008

    Yes! My first direct deposit from Clickbank! I’ve always received the paper checks and I remembered hearing that you can get direct deposit with clickbank. I read on some forums that all you have to do is request it to get direct deposit.

    Clickbank Direct Deposit – Secret Bonus?

    In case you didn’t know, getting direct deposit from Clickbank is kind of hidden. There’s no information for it in their help files and supposedly you need to be making $1000+ per month in order to get this added to your accounts. It doesn’t hurt to ask, so why not right?

    “I want it. Give me the direct deposit!”

    What I did was I went to the Clickbank Contact Us Page at:
    https://www.clickbank.com/publisherquestion.html

    I filled out the basic info and asked, “I would like to setup direct deposit for my account. What do I need to fill out?” They sent me a PDF form to fill out where I attached a voided check. Within a couple of days, I was approved for it!

    So on May 30, I look in my bank account and see this:

    I blurred out my clickbank ID, but I think you get the picture! Now I don’t have to wait for that one Clickbank check to arrive to get my money.

    The benefits of this is that I get the check 1 day early and plus I don’t have to drive to the bank! It’s a win-win-win situation.

    I don’t get why they don’t make it standard like the other affiliate networks. CJ, ShareASale, AzoogleAds, and other major networks offer a direct deposit option for all their affiliates. Oh well. Go figure.
