We started 2012 with a trip to Las Vegas to see our friends and customers at Affiliate Summit West 2012.

For our contest entry we used LinkTrust’s ability to generate a QR code. Everyone who scanned the QR code got entered in to win an iPod touch. Our lucky winners were Nicole Aranda and Francis Woo.

Many of our pictures from the event were taken in a hurry- we couldn’t keep these amazing companies from talking to potential affiliates or publishers for too long. We loved having DTM join us again this year.

We partnered with Experiment.ly to bring you the LinkTrust Optimizer. Stay tuned for more info to come!

Here are a few members of the GetAds team- including lucky Nicole who won our giveaway!

Traveling from Australia, Jigsaw Media had lots of connections to make at the show.

Our friends at National Web Leads were so busy we had to take the picture while their colleagues behind them kept the conversation going.

Also from across the ocean, LeadBolt stopped what they were doing to pose for my camera. They had a ton of people stop by the booth, I was lucky to catch them at a break in the crowd.

Classy, as always, OFFERweb ruled one corner of the mega-booth with their offers and advertisers grabbing attention.

Locals like Total Marketing Systems really know how to take advantage of all that Las Vegas has to offer. From the start of the show to the end, these guys were sealing deals.

Outside the exhibit hall we enjoyed the Affiliate Fight night with ring-side seats, the Tip-Off party and a few smaller meetups. For more wrap-ups of the show take a look at a few of the many affiliate marketing blogs who covered the show:

GetAds is a full service Digital Marketing Solution, catering to all sizes of affiliates and advertisers. We have worked hard to diversify the offers we have to encompass all verticals, which helps make us to be a one-stop shop. Not only are we working hard to deliver the best quality and service to our affiliates but we also have a dedicated team constantly looking for new and/or exclusive offers. The advertising team is reaching out daily to new advertisers seeking the best deals with the highest payouts for our affiliates.

To compliment the network, we also have our own internal traffic. This affords us the ability to test offers and find the ones that will work for our affiliates. It also allows for us to provide our advertisers traffic that they can always trust and is always available. This structure is a win-win for both affiliates and advertisers and has made GetAds a financially solid company you can trust.

GetAds is not content to remain a part of the status quo; the company’s goal is to deliver above and beyond expectations. The Digital Marketing business is constantly evolving and it takes steadfast devotion and ongoing research to stay on top of trends. GetAds welcomes the challenge with open arms. We see each new hurdle as an opportunity to improve our process and take our service to the next level.


As we enter our seventh year together, National Web Leads is excited to be bringing its whole team to Las Vegas for ASW 2011. Since we are a work@home company, the internet marketing industry tradeshows offer us the opportunity to convene our team in person and celebrate our accomplishments while planning our future endeavors.

Publishers and ad networks seeking exclusive subprime consumer finance offers can earn higher payouts by going direct with National Web Leads. In addition to our year round and seasonal brands (don’t forget to visit us in the LinkTrust mega-booth and arrange to pick up your Valentine’s Day themed payday loan brands while at ASW 2012) our library of exclusive payday loan offers now includes mobile optimized versions for traffic partners specializing in SMS. Our technology team at Applied Cognetics had a busy 2011 building out our acxFusion suite of services including a low-cost ping tree platform that any lead generator can plug into.

On the publishing side, our DailyDollar Newsletter which provides personal finance tips for consumers continues to build national attention. DailyDollar was recently cited in this article by Fox Business and the audio version of DailyDollar was listed among the 8 most savvy personal finance podcasts by US News and World Report. Our most valuable payday loan traffic partners are enjoying exclusive ad placement in the DailyDollar.

2012 will be another busy year as we become the technology department for more lead generation companies and provide loan underwriting and processing software services to payday loan and other lenders. In addition we will continue to build our boutique network of exclusive consumer finance offers. Consumer finance advertisers that seek access to quality traffic should contact us about offer placement in our ad network powered by our friends at LinkTrust.

According to the information in this infographic from the Music Production School, ringtones are alive and well. I for one, downloaded my first ringtone ever last week. (The theme song from Indiana Jones was just too perfect, I had to get it for my alarm.)

I find the infographic interesting… but I wish they would have included where all of the ringtone downloading was happening.

Check it out!

You can now assign payment terms to an affiliate in LinkTrust. This makes it easy for your accounting department to view affiliates and affiliate commissions by their payment terms.

The more organized you can be, the easier it is to make your affiliates happy.

Learn how to use this feature in this LinkTrust training video.

One of the newest features in LinkTrust gives you the ability to customize which creatives display for an affiliate. Now you can display specific creatives to a particular affiliate and/or affiliate group for an offer within the Affiliate Center.

Here’s a LinkTrust Training Video to learn how to get started using this feature.

Starting today, Dec. 7, 2011 you can remotely modify transactions in LinkTrust. (That’s not the only thing you can do now! Check out all of our newest features on the LinkTrust 6.8.2 release page!)

Whether you modify the transactions yourself through the new API or give your merchant’s the instructions, it allows you to adjust transactions based on click, transaction or merchant reference IDs.

Watch the LinkTrust training video to get a step-by-step walkthrough of using the Transaction Modification API.

Just in time for a little holiday bonus, we’re giving you some new ways to track your campaigns, manage affiliates and take your business to the next level.

With the new Transaction Modification API you can edit transactions remotely. This is great for merchants with their own CRM- they can edit based on their own ID numbers. The remote editing of transactions can be automated via API or by using the LinkTrust Windows app. Learn how to use this feature in the LIVE webinar, Wednesday, Dec. 7, 2011.

If you’ve been thinking about experimenting with offline marketing, or mobile applications consider using a QR Code. This 2D image is similar to a bar code and works in an instant to get the consumer to a special landing page. With LinkTrust you can generate a unique QR code and use it to drive traffic online or in print. We’ve optimized the images to be of the highest quality, meaning they are compatible with most devices. Watch the webinar Wednesday, Dec. 7 at 11 a.m. MST to learn more about how to generate and use a QR code.

Giving you yet another way to save time and help your affiliates earn more money, you can now create Affiliate-Specific Creatives. Customize a creative for a particular affiliate or give a specific creative for an affiliate group. This is helpful for affiliates driving targeted traffic who need special places to send it, without requiring you to create an entirely new campaign.

Learn more about these and other features going live Wednesday, Dec. 7, 2011 on the new release features page.
