Deeplink for publishers

Deeplink is a kind of an affiliate link that leads to the page on the advertiser website you specified. For instance, it may lead to the page of a certain product, deal, or brand.

Why you may need a deeplink

Deeplinks may help you boost the conversion rate: after following deeplinks, users perform target actions more often than after following a standard affiliate link that leads to the home page of the advertiser website. 

Why it happens: when you use a deeplink, the user lands exactly on the page of the product you promote. In this case, they won't have to look for the product or offer on the website—therefore, it will be easier for them to perform the target action.

Example of using a deeplink

Imagine you are going to tell about a face cream distributed on the iHerb website, on your Telegram channel. To relieve your followers from sifting through the website seeking the cream, create a deeplink that will guide them straight to the product page, and lead potential buyers through it.

How to create a deeplink

You can create a deeplink:

• in the program card in Admitad Store
• on the affiliate program page
• using Deeplink generator (if you need to create a deeplink for several pages)
• using Admitad Extension

• via API

Using Admitad Bot and Admitad Extension, you can get a deeplink even if your ad space isn't connected to a program. In other cases, you can only get a deeplink if your ad space is connected to the program.

How to get a deeplink with Admitad Extension

You will need a desktop or laptop to create a deeplink with Admitad Extension: it does not support mobile devices.

You can get a deeplink right on the advertiser’s website using Admitad Extension. The extension will automatically generate a deeplink for the current page and shrink it for easier use.

We have a separate article about the Extension, where all of the nuances of the process are described, so we’ll just give an overview here:

• The Extension has two sections: PRO and Lite. Their differences are listed in this comparison table.
• The programs in PRO and Lite are different and don’t overlap, but a single site can have different programs in both PRO and Lite. Example: the site https://www.gearbest.com/ has a GearBest WW program in PRO and a GearBest US program in Lite.
• You can get deeplinks in both sections, but for PRO your ad space needs to be connected to the program.
  The Lite tab doesn't have such restrictions.
  Accordingly, if in PRO you see a message saying that your space isn’t connected, go to Lite and copy a deeplink from there. Or, connect your ad space to the program and get a link on the PRO tab.

Here's what you need to do to create a deeplink using the extension:

1. Go to the page of the site that you want to create a deeplink to.

2. Open the extension. It will generate a deeplink for the page on which you opened it.

3. Copy the deeplink and publish it in your ad space. How to use an affiliate link

To get the reports for this deeplink, enter the value in the SubID field: it will be added to the deeplink as a tag. Using this value, you will be able to track the clicks, actions, and other parameters for the created deeplink in the Reports on SubID section. More about SubID

Differences between a deeplink and a standard affiliate link

Generally, a standard affiliate link and a deeplink operate in the same way: in both cases, the link has unique identifiers that allow tracking target actions. Also, both an affiliate link and a deeplink can only be available if your ad space is connected to a program.

But there are some differences:

What a deeplink looks like

A deeplink consists of the following:

• standard affiliate link
• encoded address of the page on the advertiser website* that is added as the ?ulp parameter

*The page on the advertiser website is a link to the product/deal/brand page on which the user will land after following the deeplink.

Example

Standard affiliate link	https://ad.admitad.com/g/1kjlqr06u0c20f67753ff0af71e07a/
Advertiser website page	https://ru.shein.com/women-dresses-c-1727.html
Deeplink	https://ad.admitad.com/g/1kjlqr06u0c20f67753ff0af71e07a/?ulp=https%3A%2F%2Fru.shein.com%2Fwomen-dresses-c-1727.html

If you generate a deeplink using Admitad Extension or Admitad Bot for Telegram, you get a shortened deeplink. A shortened link is the same link but made shorter for easier use. Shortened links look as follows: https://fas.st/GOKTt or https://lite.bz/i0EiKT

If you create a deeplink in the program card, on the program page, or using Deeplink generator, you can shrink the link on your own—using Shortlink.

How to find programs supporting deeplinks

To find programs that support deeplinks, in the Admitad Store catalog, check the Deeplink box in the Tools filter.

You will see all programs where you can create and use deeplinks.

Some programs do not support deeplink. If so, you can only use a standard affiliate link. How to get a standard affiliate link
