Plutus Toolkit - Offer URL Generator

You have to admit that setting up offers, especially while joining to the new affiliate network is pain in the ass.


Those are question that you ask yourself when joining new network.

If you are total newbie you don't even know what are tokens, parameters and why you should connect them in url which makes it even more difficult.

After you set up some new offers you start to remember what tokens needs to be matched with what parameters or you create template that replaces them automatically.

Question is: Why should you remember this?
Answer: There is NO reason.

I'd like to present you a tool that will change a way you setup your offers in tracker forever.

Plutus Offer Url Generator




Idea to code it came to my mind after setting up yet another offer.

I asked myself - is there something I could do to simplify the whole process?

Setting up tracking and postbacks and pixels and campaigns and landing pages was confusing for me when I was starting and is still confusing for newbies.

Answer: Basic (Newbie-friendly) template!

This tool only job is to prepare offer url in a way that you can paste it directly into your tracker.

It removes any prior thinking about which tokens and parameters to use.

Everything is stupid simple.

  1. Paste raw offer url (copied from your affiliate network)
  2. Select Affiliate Network
  3. Select Tracker

Done. Basic tokens like clickid, trafficsource ID, campaign ID are appended to the offer that you pasted.

You can now copy it and paste directly into your tracker and go on with the campaign setup.

Tool link: https://rusin.work/offer-url

List of supported affiliate networks:


List of supported trackers:




To make everything even more straightforward this tool supports following url parameters:
-tracker
-affiliateNetwork

Those parameters are dynamically updated when you change both affiliate network and tracker selects.

Examples:
Clickdealer + Voluum
https://rusin.work/offer-url?tracker...rk=clickdealer
Haka.mobi + Binom
https://rusin.work/offer-url?tracker...twork=hakamobi
Mobidea + Funnel Flux
https://rusin.work/offer-url?tracker...etwork=mobidea

When you access the link all you have to do is just paste raw offer url to get it nicely formatted and ready to use in your tracker.

Bookmarking your Affiliate Network + Tracker link is highly advised.

This is super-alpha version that might be bugged somewhere (tested it tho and was working).

It took me few hours to code two days ago and you get it completely FOR FREE

Any feedback from you will be much appreciated.

If you like it and your tracker or network that you are using isn't on the list - no worries - adding new networks and trackers requires close to no effort.

Lastly - in case someone would be worried that something sketchy is going in the background:
- this is pure javascript application (React)
- no offer urls are sent anywhere
- it does not change urls for my personal gain


This is part of an Affiliate Toolkit that I want to create to make basic setup less complicated for newbies (but not only)

Hope you like it

Nice tool!
Below some info about more networks for it.

On https://www.affpaying.com/ you have the tracking software used by each network. It is not always up to date, but most of the time it is.

From my experience, networks using the same software share the same subset of parameters.
Here is where i store clickid / trafficsource.id / campaign.id

Everflow-based networks: sub2 / sub3 / sub4



Affise-based networks: sub1 / sub3 / sub4



I don't know why they do not want to use sub2. But 2 AM for different networks using affise told me the same thing: clickid must be in sub1.

Cake-based networks: s2 / s3 / s4



Custom:

@plutus Man, you´re on fire lately.

Adding few networks as well.

For Cake you could add Gotzha, Fluent and FRST Media to the list.

For Everflow you can add Wewemedia.

For the Cake networks it´s important to use s2 for click ID.

If you want to I can also send you some more networks with custom platforms.

Anyway, thanks alot for your effort

Everflow-based networks: sub2 / sub3 / sub4

  • Aragon
  • SmartAdv
  • Private CPA
  • CPA Affiliates Network


Affise-based networks: sub1 / sub3 / sub4

  • Sinum Vendo
  • AdsMain
  • CPARK
  • Natifico


Cake-based networks: s2 / s3 / s4

  • AdVidi
  • Monetise


Custom:

  • Gasmobi: externalid / subid / sub_pubid
Work in progress, mostly done.

Can you provide me example raw offer urls (anonymized) of Everflow-based, Affise-based and Cake-based networks? One of each will do.

As I understand Cake-based networks add following parameters to the offer url: a=Y&c=X

What about Everflow-based and Affise-based?

I'm inside each of those types but had no offers approved previously, maybe this way will be quicker.

Thanks a lot

All of them added - I did not push it to the server yet, need to sort out parsing issue, in case you know the answers that I asked Jeremie please do answer.

The hell I do . Custom networks are the most annoying to deal with so this tool would shine the most for them.

You can send me all custom networks that you have, but please follow below specification - it will help me to set it without asking any further questions.

Create Google Sheets / Excel file with following columns:

Affiliate Network | Raw Offer Url (anonymized) | Clickid parameter |Trafficsource ID parameter |Campaign ID parameter

Each row in that spreadsheet will correspond to one affiliate network.

Example:
Mobidea | https://www.ports.rocks/offer/123|456?data1=Track1&data2=Track2&tag={clickid}&we bsite={subID}&placement={sub_subID} | tag | website | placement

Are you kidding me?? What an AMAZING idea and what kind of dedication must have prompted you to take on something like this! Thoroughly impressed!

Thanks a million times over @plutus!

Thanks Plutus! This came in way too late, where have you been ;-)!

I have a more primitive version that I use on excel. Yours is obviously way more advanced. Thanks for the contribution!

great, thank you again for resolving this quickly. I'll push gasmobi alongside other custom affiliate networks that @twinaxe will send me

I’d like to ask any mod to rename this thread to „Plutus Toolkit - Offer URL Generator”

I also would really appreciate for any custom (non-affise, non-cake, non-everflow) affiliate network names that you are using so I can update the tool.

Thanks,
plutus
