Affiliate Adtools offers an easy-to-navigate tab interface. Select the adtool category using a tab (for example: "Banners"), find the adtool type in a column (for example: "Static Banners"), find the site in a row (for example: "Membership Site A"), and view the adtools by clicking the dark sub-section name (for example: "Hor.").
NATS provides several adtool categories through the Affiliate Adtools interface. These include:
- Link Codes - affiliate referral URLs. These allow you to track all traffic that you send.
- Banners - image, javascript, flash, etc. images that promote your site.
- Hosted - hosted adtools, such as free hosted galleries and free sites.
- Downloadable - adtools that can be downloaded by surfers. These include downloadable content, mailers, and half or full page ads.
- Feeds - allows you to keep members up to date by sending news feeds of updated content.
- Gallery Builder - this is an optional module that allows you to send galleries to your affiliates and easily create/publish new galleries. If you would like to add this module, please submit a support ticket.
- COTD - the optional Content of the Day Module takes sets of photos or videos and publishes them in a static location so affiliates can visit the same page every day for new content. If you would like to add this module, please submit a support ticket.
After clicking the sub-section name, NATS displays all available adtools and information about them. You can use the Limitations filter to display only adtools that match a search.
Limit Adtools to a Search
Under "Choose Limitations" on the right side of the page, there will be multiple drop-down menus. The top menu allows you to change how your affiliate linkcodes will be displayed.
- Encoded Links - the standard form of displaying linkcodes in NATS. This will randomize letters and numbers to create linkcodes that can not be decoded.
- Un-Encoded Links - a method of displaying linkcodes that will show certain information, such as the referring affiliate.
- Shortname Links - a form is displaying linkcodes that displays NATS shortnames in the URL, which would allow the surfer to see what affiliate, site, tour, and program they are going through.
