Host and Post is a feature of Offerit that allows affiliates to host their own landing pages or lead generation forms. Using this system allows affiliates to collect information about their leads or customers prior to completing the conversion at the network.
Activating Host and Post
Before this feature can be used, your affiliate account needs to be authorized by the network. The network owner will need the server ip(s) that you will be posting the conversion from.
Using Host and Post
The Host and Post system in Offerit is designed to work with your affiliate tracking link. The first step is to generate a linkcode, for the offer you wish to promote, through the affiliate interface.
Next you attach a url variable to the linkcode to allow Offerit to track without performing a redirect.
http://demo.offerit.com/track/offeritdemo.9.4.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0?hostnpost=1
- Posting to track with hostnpost=1 will return a JSON encoded object with the following details:
- requested_details - the offerid/landing page combination requested
- current_details - the offerid/landing page combination returned from track. (this may differ from the requested_details because of a redirect in the network setup)
- message - used to relay any information about the hostnpost attempt
- click_hash - the unique identifier that needs to be posted to record the completed conversion at the network. If this is not sent in the reply, there was a problem and the conversion cannot be completed.
- The following messages indicate a denial from the network
- Offer redirect to itself. Discuss with Offer owner
- Expire redirect to <url>
- Expired offer directed to template
- Offer configured to redirect
- Offer redirect due to cap restrictions
- Landing page url not found
- IP is blacklisted by the network
- IP is from a proxy and is blacklisted
- IP is from a proxy
- IP is blacklisted for country
- IP is already converted within allowed timeframe
- Message on an accepted post
- Host and post available
Once you have a click_hash you are ready to complete the conversion. To do so send a post to the network with the click_hash you received. For example:
http://demo.offerit.com/signup/process_pixel.php?click_hash=<click_hash returned from track>
