Deeplink set-up in affiliate networks
Missing out on Deeplink traffic in Zeropark Commerce Media is one of the most common oversights from our demand partners. For many brands, entering the Deeplink space often means doubling available supply and instantly increasing performance.
Deeplink supply changes reflect the standard seasonality of online traffic. It delivers performance throughout the entire year but of course becomes most ample during the high shopping seasons when users seek specific product deals and offers.
Kicking off Deeplink (or Deep Link) CPC campaigns may seem demanding because of the Product URL set up in your chosen affiliate network. That's why we present some intel on how to do it.
Our Account Management team is also there for you in case some deeper introduction is needed. Make sure to reach out.
Generating Deeplinks in affiliate networks
The Deeplink campaign set-up in Zeropark platform can be found in the "Creating a new Deeplink Camapaign" section. Below you will find instructions on how to generate these in affiliate networks, and how to switch parameters to ensure correct Zeropark campaign setup.
The most important aspect of creating a working Destination URL is replacing the deeplink parameter (differs from affiliate network to affiliate network) to {product_url} parameter in Zeropark or corresponding Voluum parameter.
