These updates are immediately available to all HasOffers networks. Thanks to excellent feedback from networks like you we are able to make these adjustments quickly and to the benefit of all our customers. Make sure you take a moment to read over them and see how they work with your business model.
Revenue per Click and Impression
Networks can now track revenue for offers on a click or impression basis. A new revenue type setting was added to all offers. The revenue type and payout type can now be set independently. Create offers that track costs and revenue on a click basis. Or create offers that track cost and revenue on an impression basis. Load creatives for CPM/RPM offers into ad manager campaigns including third-party ad tags.
Updated Affiliate, Advertiser and Offer Search
Search for advertisers, affiliates and offers has been expanded for employees. On the manage advertisers page, search by company name, user first name, user last name, advertiser ID or user email. On the manage affiliates page, search by company name, user first name, user last name, affiliate ID or user email. On the manage offers page, search by offer name, offer category, offer ID, advertiser or country.
Increased Offer Name to 255
The names of offers you load in HasOffers can now contain up to 255 characters.
Increased Sub Id to 255
Sub ID values can also contain up to 255 characters. Input values with up to 255 characters for aff_sub, aff_sub2, aff_sub3, aff_sub4, aff_sub5 or adv_sub.
Reference IDs for Advertisers, Affiliates and Offers
When creating or editing an advertiser, affiliate or offer, you can now specify a reference ID. A reference ID is used to correspond with some value in another tracking or management system. Once set you have set a reference ID it can then be included in the offer URL.
Optional Geo-Targeting Enforcement
Your HasOffers ad servers have always enforced geo-targeting settings restrictively. If a target country is set and the user is located outside of that target country (and the offer is not in an offer group), then the link would normally die to protect advertisers. Now you have the option to specify if the Geo-Targeting is enforced or not in the Offer Targeting Settings. When enforce geo-targeting is enabled, the ad server will function as described above (restrictively). However, if enforce geo-targeting is disabled, then the ad server will forward users outside of the target location. Disabling enforce geo-targeting makes geo-targeting informational.
