Adding traffic sources

This Help Centre article shows how to add additional traffic sources to your affiliate account.

Listing your traffic sources allows advertisers to clearly see where their brand and trademarks will be promoted. Sources can be broken down into three main areas: Traffic Sources/Websites, Social Media Accounts, and Email Lists.

1. Traffic Sources/Websites

To add a new traffic source:

1. Go to Settings in your affiliate account.

2. Click on the Traffic Sources tab.

3. Scroll down and select Add New Website.

4. Provide the following information:

   • Type (e.g., Blog, Mobile App, Software)

   • Name 

   • URL

   • Category (e.g., Fashion, Toys, Baby)

   • Approximate weekly visitors

   • Approximate years online

   • Description 

Once you have added, a new traffic source, it will be reviewed by our team. Status Column shows whether each source is:

• Approved – reviewed and approved by a Commission Factory

• Pending – awaiting review. New traffic source will be reviewed within a couple business days.

2. Social Media Accounts

To connect your social media accounts:

1. Go to the Social Media Accounts section.

2. Click the three-dot icon to connect.

3. Log in to your selected platform to link it with your Commission Factory profile.

Connecting your social accounts helps advertisers view your social reach.

For more help, refer to our guide on connecting, updating, or deleting social media accounts.

3. Email Lists

If you promote affiliate offers via email, you can declare your email list:

1. Go to the Email Lists section.

2. Click Add New Email List and enter the required information.

This enables access to email creatives provided by approved advertisers. See our Help Centre guide on adding email lists for more info.
