Most of those companies were repeat exhibitors, who, after previously joining the LinkTrust mega-booth, saw the value of a booth as home base for the packed affiliate marketing show. This year’s show was one of the biggest yet with more than 5,000 attendees.

Whether those 5,00 people traveled from across the ocean or across the street, the attendees at the show knew where to find the best networks and advertisers at the show. See pictures of each of these awesome companies on the LinkTrust ASW12 wrap-up.

Just in case you’re wondering why you should come find us at LeadsCon this year, on the LeadsCon website they say attendees call the show:
“Exciting and rewarding”
“Arguably, the best show I’ve ever been to.”

You can register to attend the show on the LeadsCon website.

Marc says he likes to give customers more than they ask for and show them the possibilities of the software. The most recent feature releases have been a good example of this attitude. We’ve given customers features they’ve requested and also added innovative features to take our customers to new levels.

Marc has watched the affiliate marketing industry go from punch-the-monkey ads to cutting edge “mind-reading” ads. His experience on development teams before joining ours has ranged from business analyst to developer, giving him a great appreciation for the skills of everyone on the LinkTrust development team.

Staying busy is second nature to Marc who has four children, the youngest, twin girls barely a year. When he has time to spare, which is rare, he likes to spend it reading, meditating or watching Dr. Who.

Stay tuned for more great features coming from the LinkTrust team this year!

Use Site Optimizer from LinkTrust to create alternate landing pages and test to find the one with the best conversion rate. Start refining your pages today for free.

4 Steps To Higher Revenue:

1. Visually edit your landing pages
2. Setup visual A/B or multi-variant
3. Create goals
4. See results

 
Enter the URL of the landing page you want to test, pop it into the visual editor and make changes. You can replace an image, change a button or edit your call to action. Although you can make as many changes as you want to your page, we recommend only making one change per combination within an experiment. One change per page means when one page starts performing well (or worse!) you know which change made the difference.

The Site Optimizer from LinkTrust has its very own set of reports to help you find the winning combination. You can give your publishers the landing pages you know work the best once you’ve tested them with the Site Optimizer.

Using the Site Optimizer is as easy as point-click-drag.

By default, LinkTrust users who have campaign rights can get in and start using Site Optimizer from two different places in LinkTrust, campaign settings or reports.

Learn how to start refining your landing pages by watching this introductory video today.

 Once you’ve decided you want to make landing page testing a major part of your business strategy (and we’re sure you will) you can upgrade to a higher traffic volume plan. Contact sales@linktrust.com to get pricing.

Merchants and networks out there will love using our new Transaction Modification API. Now you can remotely edit a transaction’s payout, revenue or whether it is approved for an affiliate. For added security, this feature is enabled for each campaign individually, configured with a custom password and may be restricted to specific White Listed IP addresses.

Networks and affiliates who are up for trying new ways of promoting offers can now generate QR codes for any tracking link. Take your online marketing to a new level by introducing this new way of external tracking. You can use QR codes on your websites to get to a mobile application installation page quicker, or take them offline and use them in your local marketing efforts.

Affiliates and networks can save time by creating Affiliate-Specific Creatives, making it easy to give certain affiliates or affiliate groups unique creatives.

Saving time on basic searches is easier on everyone with a LinkTrust account with the improved search criteria on at least 10 pages within the platform.

InfiniteTraffic just passed our 2.5-year mark as a private, invite-only CPA network. We’re thrilled to say that this October was one of our biggest months in our history, and this was our first fully integrated month with the LinkTrust tracking platform.

InfiniteTraffic was the extension of the lead generation side of our business with InfiniteLeads as we saw more and more demand to expand from normal “lead gen” into more of a “cpa network”. Auggie Falzarano and I, Sean Wagner, teamed up for this project, utilizing our years of past experience in the Online Marketing Industry.

Our vision was simple, we never wanted to be the biggest CPA network on the market, we wanted to be one of the most unique. We had the philosophy from the time our owners started in lead generation back in 1997 that quality is much more important than quantity. One of the best ways to ensure quality is to know exactly who your publishers are, thus the need for the private, invite-only concept. By doing this, we were able to make sure our clients received the best possible quality while at the same time making sure we only work with the best publishers. This way we know both sides of the equation are happy and continue to have mutually beneficial relationships.

This was the other important part of our philosophy, we wanted a “pub-centric” approach to our network. Knowing all publishers as more than simply an affiliate ID number allows us to create a personalized relationship with our publishers to help ensure they are happy, paid on time, and know that we always “have their backs”. We’ve seen way too often that many publishers get taken advantage of in our industry, so we wanted to do our best to work with our publishers so that we all prosper rather than simply use publishers as a “quick hit” like we’ve seen with others.

At the end of the day we’re not as “large” as many networks out there, but we can rest peacefully each night knowing that both our Publishers and Clients are thrilled to work with us and that we’re creating amazing relationships that will continue to last years and years.

The other critical part to any network is the tracking software. At the time we started InfiniteTraffic, we worked with a programmer to develop our own custom proprietary software. This was quite a chore but gave us great pride in knowing we were creating our own software. We had always said, “Had we not created our own software we’d most certainly be using LinkTrust.” As time passed our software needs grew to the point that our programmers couldn’t keep up with the demands and we were worried this ultimately would hinder our publishers, and thus, ourselves.

In August 2011 our corporate team decided it was time to let go of our custom software and move to a trusted, well-built system and we chose LinkTrust. After several conference calls with Bret and his team, we knew the fit felt right. One of our biggest concerns in the switch was knowing that we had created many custom functions that most other software did not have and it would be extremely important to us to know that LinkTrust was open to these ideas for their own implementation.

In fact, as we were coming on to the system we appreciated how open Bret was in taking our suggestions of more than 40 features to improve the system. Some of those ideas, including advanced fraud detection, efficiencies in reporting, ease of system navigation and much more, were included in the most recent LinkTrust 6.8 release. It’s been a wonderful collaboration between InfiniteTraffic and LinkTrust to help both companies in their continued growth and diversification.
