Pi time has arrived! We’ve prepared a stable release of AlterCPA Pro version 3.14 for you, packed with plenty of nice and useful improvements. As always, we’ve put in titanic effort celebrating every flavor of New Year and Christmas, plus any holidays that happen to tag along, so at first glance it might look like we’re a little short on updates.
Internet technology keeps changing, and we can no longer ignore the new version of the protocol — IPv6. This new version brings full support for IPv6 addresses across every part of the system, including leads, clicks, geolocation and blacklists. IPv6 works just as fast as classic IPv4 — outwardly you won’t notice any difference, and it won’t affect performance either.
Offers now have a new section — promo materials. You can upload creatives, banners, videos, certificates or reference documentation to your offers, so affiliates have an easier time working with them.
Affiliates will be pleased to be able to choose which statuses fire off a postback request. There’s no longer any need to fight with sending a request on every single status change — just pick sending only for confirmed leads. This is supported for both global and Flow postbacks.
Fans of services, crypto and dating will be even happier. We’ve added support for offers that work with user registrations. Now you can build landing pages that handle user registration on their own side and send the user straight into their personal account. No kludges — straight through AlterCPA’s own built-in integration tools.
The built-in TDS has learned to build genuinely smart smartlinks. A whole bunch of nice little extras came with it:
- Picking which site to send the visitor to can now factor in the offer’s EPC. The higher an offer’s EPC, the better its odds of getting the visitor sent there. This can significantly boost the profitability of your offers.
- What’s more, the TDS can factor in an offer’s EPC broken down by specific country, squeezing the maximum profitability out of each individual geo.
- For even more convenience, the TDS no longer requires mandatory country restrictions on added sites. If no restrictions are set, it’ll simply fall back on the matching offer settings. Which means you can throw a TDS together just by tossing sites into the pile and letting them sort themselves out.
- In some cases it can be handy to turn on offer rotation. Every time the link is opened, the visitor gets sent to an offer they haven’t seen yet. Didn’t like this one? Maybe the next one will do the trick.
- For that rare case where no suitable offer could be found, the TDS can fall back on the trafficback set in the user’s Flow and redirect traffic there.
The built-in cloaker is starting to develop some visible signs of being at least a somewhat useful tool. We’ve added a detailed visit log to it, letting you view all the data on every single API request in real time. On top of that, we’ve shipped AlterCPA with some basic blacklists for filtering visits. Going forward, we’re planning to dig into traffic patterns and build quality filter lists for you. We’d love your help testing and taking part in that process!
Very important! This update will put a serious load on your server — be sure to schedule it for your lowest-load period across all your servers. Besides updating the system itself, don’t forget to install the updates for the site storage too.
