It's easy to use, a good platform overall, and it has a nice UI/UX. As a small publisher, the biggest win is reach: one account gives access to a lot of the big retailers in our market, and applying to a new programme is a couple of clicks from the dashboard. The product feeds are well structured and the publisher API is solid, so we pull product data and transactions into our own systems automatically every night instead of downloading reports by hand. The clickref parameter is really useful: we pass our own click id through it, so we can tie each sale back to the exact page and click on our site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Reporting is where it falls short for us. The click counts in the dashboard did not match our own server logs, so we stopped relying on them and track clicks ourselves. Some advertisers' transactions also come back without the clickref we sent, which breaks attribution for exactly those programmes, and it is hard to find out whether that is on the advertiser's or the network's side. Programme approvals can take a while and rejections usually come without a reason, which makes it hard for a small, new publisher to know what to improve. Support answers, but slowly, and it feels geared towards larger publishers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
