Procedure for advertisers when working in Admitad

Advertisers work as follows:

1. After registering with Admitad, advertisers can launch an affiliate program.

The program will then be available to publishers in the Admitad Store catalog.

2. Publishers send requests to connect their ad spaces to the program.

Requests to join are sent for moderation. Once they pass moderation successfully, the publisher's ad space will be connected to the program.

3. Upon being allowed to join, publishers get to work, they get affiliate links to the advertisers' products and can post them on their ad space.

Every affiliate link contains a unique identifier, which Admitad uses to determine which publisher a completed target action came from.

4. The publishers' users (subscribers, readers, viewers) click on affiliate links and carry out target actions.

This helps advertisers achieve their goals (increased sales or orders, or new clients, etc.).

Info about actions and clicks on affiliate links is included can be found in advertisers' reports in their personal Admitad account.


5. Advertisers regularly carry out verification.

Verification is a process during which advertisers:

  • compare data recorded in Admitad statistics with the data in their own analytics systems
  • check that the completed target action corresponds with their programs' rules.

Based on the results of verification, the advertiser can either accept or decline the target action in Admitad.

6. Based on the actions that have been confirmed, Admitad issues invoices to the advertisers for the services provided.

The advertisers pay their invoices.

Next, Admitad automatically pays rewards into the balance of publishers whose affiliate links were used to complete target actions.
