have a RON campaign that converts well for one particular traffic type.<\/p>\n<p>This is all well and good, but what happens to the traffic you can&#8217;t send to your offer?<\/p>\n<p>You can set up filters in your tracker to redirect this traffic to another one.<\/p>\n<p>However, doing this for all traffic types can be exhausting.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s where smartlink can help you.<\/p>\n<p>You could just set up a Smartlink, which will automatically find the best offers for all of your traffic types.<\/p>\n<p>This gives you the assurance that you will still be able to profit from targeting that isn&#8217;t a perfect match for your offer.<\/p>\n<p>We have it here at Mobidea.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, Mobidea Smartlinks attempts to secure the maximum revenue for you, regardless of where your traffic is coming from.<\/p>\n<p>The offer selection is performed by our built-in powerful algorithm, considering the vertical (adult or mainstream), the country, operator, operating system and device type of the users seeing your campaign.<\/p>\n<p>This algorithm will also stop displaying offers that have a low conversion ratio and keep the best performing offers on rotation.<\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s not only the offers that they select.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;ll also be able to select the highest converting landing pages and offers combo to generate the highest EPC using fully responsive

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once you&#8217;re running Single Offers and you can&#8217;t stop the traffic immediately when the offer is capped, Mobidea&#8217;s Smartlink makes sure this traffic doesn&#8217;t go to waste.<\/p>\n<p>If a Single Offer hits its daily or network-wide cap, your traffic automatically falls back to the Smartlink instead of going to waste.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-i-make-money-with-smartlinks\"><\/span><strong>Can I Make Money with Smartlinks?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes!<br \/>\nBut while Smartlinks are an amazing tool for affiliates, they&#8217;re not an instant win button for printing money.<\/p>\n<p>They can be used to find the best performing offer for any GEO, lander and offer combination.<\/p>\n<p>However, for long-term success, you should be using Smartlinks strategically.<\/p>\n<p>Smartlinks work by finding the best offer for your traffic segment.<\/p>\n<p>While they can boost your conversions it&#8217;s better to view them as a tool you can use and not just a simple fire-and-forget method to making profits.<\/p>\n<p>Most affiliates would typically use Smartlinks in connection with a pre-determined strategy such as a safety net for capped offers, using a back button redirect script or second chance offers.<\/p>\n<p>We cannot deny that some affiliates are able to succeed with running smartlinks alone, but tread lightly.<\/p><div id=\"mobid-2507314987\" class=\"mobid-in-content-15-p_2 mobid-entity-placement\" style=\"margin-top: 26px;margin-bottom: 26px;\"><div

why Smartlinks have become a staple for affiliates:<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-can-monetize-remnant-traffic\"><\/span><strong>1. Can Monetize Remnant Traffic<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">One of the appeals of Smartlinks is that they can convert even cheap clicks and remnant traffic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Which is why it works well on RON, which is pretty cheap as you&#8217;re not bidding exclusively on one specific traffic segment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Remember though that you won&#8217;t always convert this traffic source at the same rate, so you will still want to have your winning offers in play alongside your Smartlink campaigns.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-helps-narrow-down-offers-or-nichesverticals\"><\/span><strong>2. Helps Narrow Down Offers or Niches\/Verticals<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Smartlinks are great for finding the gold in different traffic sources.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">You can ask your manager which offers are converting once you&#8217;ve had a decent number of conversions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">You can then ask for a direct offer to create a separate campaign.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Note: Some offers are only available for use with Smartlinks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">You can always check with your AM to find out if this is the case in the segment you are targeting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">If they don&#8217;t have a direct offer, you can at least know the niche or vertical where your traffic converts.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-makes-you-worry-less-about-overflow-traffic\"><\/span><strong>3. Makes You Worry Less About Overflow Traffic<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">If your offer gets capped and you&#8217;re asleep or can&#8217;t pause the campaign immediately, you can at least be assured that you have a chance of earning back the cost of traffic that was sent to your direct link.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">This is not always available on affiliate networks that have smart links, but we have that feature here at Mobidea.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">It&#8217;s these types of functionality like this that make a lot of affiliates consider Mobidea as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/best-affiliate-network-beginners\/\">best CPA affiliate network<\/a> in the industry, especially for beginners.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"drawbacks-challenges\"><\/span><strong>Drawbacks &amp; Challenges<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Smartlinks solve a lot of problems, but they&#8217;re not magic.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s talk about a few things worth keeping in mind before you lean on them too heavily.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-less-control-on-offers\"><\/span><strong>1. Less Control on Offers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">We mentioned above that you can send all your traffic to the Smartlink.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">If you choose to go down this route, you won&#8217;t have as much control over what offers are being shown.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-unpredictable-roi\"><\/span><strong>2. Unpredictable ROI<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">You&#8217;ll also find that as offers are frequently swapped out, your ROI could fluctuate by a fairly wide margin.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">This is because different offers have different payouts.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-high-chance-of-aggressive-landers\"><\/span><strong>3. High Chance of Aggressive Landers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">You also need to be careful with Smartlinks since their choice of landers can be quite aggressive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">This can lead to your campaign getting rejected due to non-compliance, as forbidden landers and offers that you have no control over could be shown to users through no fault of your own.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-your-results-depend-on-the-networks-offer-pool\"><\/span><strong>4. Your Results Depend on the Network&#8217;s Offer Pool<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">A Smartlink is only as good as what&#8217;s behind it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Thin inventory in your GEO means thin results, no matter how smart the algorithm is.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that traffic quality still matters here.<\/p>\n<p>Garbage in, garbage out still applies.<\/p>\n<p>None of this means skip Smartlinks.<\/p>\n<p>It just means treat them as one tool in your kit, not the whole toolbox.<\/p>\n<div

id=\"when-should-you-use-a-smartlink-and-when-not-to\"><\/span><strong>When Should You Use a Smartlink (and When Not To)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Use a Smartlink when:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your traffic is mixed, global, or hard to segment<\/li>\n<li>You have no idea which offer pr niche converts best for a new GEO or vertical<\/li>\n<li>You&#8217;re testing a new traffic source and want data before committing<\/li>\n<li>You&#8217;re running Single Offers and want a safety net for capped or overflow traffic<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Go with a Direct Offer instead when:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You already know exactly which offer converts for your audience<\/li>\n<li>Full control over payout, cap, and creative is necessary<\/li>\n<li>Your traffic is highly targeted to one GEO or vertical<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The less certain you are about your traffic, the more you should use a Smartlink.<\/p>\n<p>Most experienced affiliates don&#8217;t pick one forever.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, they start broad with a Smartlink and watch what converts.<\/p>\n<p>Then they create campaigns for Direct Offers once the data&#8217;s clear.<\/p>\n<p>Other times, it&#8217;s the reverse, they create a direct offer, then add a Smartlink for traffic that gets filtered out of the main campaign.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"summary\"><\/span><strong>Summary<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Smartlinks are easy to set up and offer a great deal of versatility to affiliates.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re a great way to monetize RON or remnant traffic and can save valuable time.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to remember that the quality of traffic is still important and you should test your own offers against the Smartlink.<\/p>\n<p>On the flip side, Smartlinks can have lower payouts and make it difficult to effectively monitor traffic quality.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, not all Smartlinks are created equal!<\/p>\n<p>It depends on the network&#8217;s database of offers and landers and how well they are optimized for every possible traffic segment.<\/p>\n<p>The Smartlinks we use at Mobidea are rigorously tested against multiple segments and traffic sources.<\/p>\n<p>They include thousands of top-performing offers and are supported by powerful algorithms that work to boost your ROI across all verticals, GEOs, operators, operating system and device types, and carriers.<\/p>\n<div id=\"footable_parent_46451\"\n         class=\"
