So, what is smartlink used for? While usually one referral link equals one offer, Smartlinks can provide way more of them, picking the one that algorithm concludes will be the most converting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, Smartlink offer is not exactly a single offer but a variety of them selected to be shown individually each time. This also means that for every user a single Smartlink might lead to different offers.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"richads-button-block_10708d510d5e5f32190a4b814fce7f66\" class=\"richads-button-custom\">\n    <div class=\"row\" style=\"margin: 50px 0;\">\n        <div class=\"col-12 p-0 text-center\">\n            <a target=\"_blank\" \n                href=\"https:\/\/richads.com\/\" \n                class=\"text-center d-block rbtn rbtn-size-l rbtn-red\" \n                style=\"width: 100%;\" aria-label=\"Run ad campaigns on quality traffic by RichAds!\">\n                Run ad campaigns on quality traffic by RichAds!            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center single-info-blue\">What is RichAds?<br>Ad network for telegram ads,<br>high quality push and popunder ads,<br>domain redirect, native and display traffic source,<br>buy push ads at $0.005 (CPC), pop ads at $0.5 (CPM),<br>domain ads costs start from $1.5 (CPM), native ads \u2014 from $0.001 (CPC),<br>ad network offers large volumes of traffic in more than 200 geos from Tier 3 to Tier 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does a Smartlink work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since affiliate Smartlinks in essence present not one particular offer but many, they have their own mechanism by which they both gather user data and select the most appropriate offer. In this part, <a href=\"https:\/\/richads.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"RichAds ad network\">RichAds ad network<\/a> will explain how a Smartlink works in those terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While clicking affiliate links on ads or being shown a pop ad, which also demands clicking on a publisher\u2019s site with a special JS script, the Smartlink technology tracks that click. By that it can gather such data on the users as geo, device, OS, browser language, etc. The Smartlink AI analyses all the information according to algorithms configured by the <a href=\"https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/what-is\/cpa-network\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"affiliate network\">affiliate network<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"561\" src=\"https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Example-of-a-Smartlink-landing-page-in-affiliate-marketing.jpg\" alt=\"affiliate smartlink\n\" class=\"wp-image-57302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Example-of-a-Smartlink-landing-page-in-affiliate-marketing.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Example-of-a-Smartlink-landing-page-in-affiliate-marketing-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Example-of-a-Smartlink-landing-page-in-affiliate-marketing-768x421.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>An example of a Smartlink redirecting landing page to confirm the &#8216;click information&#8217;<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Eventually, based on all the data analysed, the algorithm picks an offer that is estimated to be the most suitable for the exact user.

Meanwhile, the whole process from the click to redirecting users on the selected offer takes literal seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/How-a-Smartlink-works.png\" alt=\"what is smartlink used for\n\" class=\"wp-image-57301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/How-a-Smartlink-works.png 1024w, https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/How-a-Smartlink-works-300x105.png 300w, https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/How-a-Smartlink-works-768x270.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best traffic sources to run Smartlink offers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For Smartlinks in affiliate marketing, the best would be ad formats that possess high volumes of traffic worldwide, so that the offers can match as much audience. Also, it\u2019s important that such methods don\u2019t restrict advertising various categories on certain geos, as such policies might affect promoting, for example, online casinos and sports betting platforms on Facebook and Google Ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We at <a href=\"https:\/\/richads.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"RichAds ad network\">RichAds ad network<\/a> recommend taking a look at Telegram, push and pop ads:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/richads-revolutionary-release-new-telegram-ads-format-now-available-on-the-platform\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Telegram ads in mini apps.&lt;br&gt;\">Telegram ads in mini apps.<br><\/a><\/strong>This is an innovative format by RichAds, has loyal content policy, comparing to official Telegram advertising.

Use as broad targeting options as possible<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest mistakes while running Smartlinks via platforms is to narrow down the targeting parameters way too tight. Meanwhile, what makes Smartlinks so easy and effective is that they can determine the best picks for the audience if the selection is really wide, otherwise there&#8217;s a big chance of many users to drop out of there. Plus to that, some categories have &#8220;seasons&#8221;, meaning the most profitable certain products are to be advertised, while the rest of the time they don&#8217;t show such results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each SmartLink can focus on a category or can come from a different network. When creating campaigns in <a href=\"https:\/\/richads.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"RichAds ad network\">RichAds ad network<\/a>, make sure to create one campaign per country and name them accordingle for better recognition on optimization stage, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Gambling Yellana<\/strong> (Campaign Name) \u2014 <strong>Italy<\/strong> (Country Code)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>After the initial run, choose the best performing SmartLink. You can also deactivate poor performing countries (ie. have no conversions; have a few conversions but with ultra-low payouts, etc.), as well as underperforming sources (such as websites, publishers, targets, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/How-to-promote-Smartlink-offers-at-RichAds-ad-network.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-57315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/How-to-promote-Smartlink-offers-at-RichAds-ad-network.png 800w, https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/How-to-promote-Smartlink-offers-at-RichAds-ad-network-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/How-to-promote-Smartlink-offers-at-RichAds-ad-network-768x384.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

Enable campaign tracking for Smartlinks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the most crucial points for Smartlinks is to monitor the campaign performance with <a href=\"https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/what-is\/affiliate-tracker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"trackers\">trackers<\/a>. They can highlight not only the traffic sources that perform the best for a particular offer, but can break-down what offers and categories bring the profits in general. This might come as a blessing for many beginners who are new to affiliate marketing in terms of choosing a promising offer to advertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have made a series of <a href=\"https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/category\/affiliate-tracking-tutorials\/\" aria-label=\"step-by-step tutorials on setting up popular conversion trackers\">step-by-step tutorials on setting up popular conversion trackers<\/a>, along with connecting them with RichAds ad platform.

Determine the best converting offer and launch it separately<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main cornerstones in Smartlink promotion lies within finding the best offer to advertise among multiple variants that come through the traffic. Even if you think that Smartlinks are enough only to redirect your traffic to an appropriate product, a precisely targeted campaign will show way better results anyways. So regularly check the insights that are gathered within the CPA network and trackers, looking for the product that brings the most profit and run it independently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the affiliate network doesn&#8217;t cover listing the offers, try asking your manager. If the traffic is of high quality, there will be no bother letting you run offers well-addressed to the target audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-richads-blog wp-block-embed-richads-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"dcZ3xl6qpW\"><a href=\"https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/tutorial-how-to-launch-successful-push-campaign\/\" aria-label=\"How to create and launch push ads campaign + webinar\">How to create and launch push ads campaign + webinar<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;How to create and launch push ads campaign + webinar&#8221; &#8212; RichAds Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/tutorial-how-to-launch-successful-push-campaign\/embed\/#?secret=OEjrvhwfBh#?secret=dcZ3xl6qpW\" data-secret=\"dcZ3xl6qpW\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Smartlinks are a great point of entering affiliate marketing, since they by themselves can evaluate the best offer for a particular user and demand very little in terms of promotion efforts.
