You have also full flexibility in whatever you do: create your own custom report templates by picking and mixing from a wide selection of reporting elements and parameters. Just save your customised report templates or export them to Excel or as .csv-files. Of course you are also free to choose from more than a dozen of pre-arranged report templates based on most common publisher use cases. This saves you even more time and effort and gets you detailed insight as to how your programmes and advertising spaces are performing. You’ll be also able to see separate results for the statuses “open” and “approved”.

We are now also able to provide the new statistics in different languages: English, German, French, Italian and Spanish. Last but not least, you will be free to include graphs to comfortably visualise sales, leads and commissions and to get a much better feeling for trends and tendencies.

They operate a travel site that searches flights, hotels and cars. No other flight search engine searches as many websites as Momondo. Pia Vemmelund, Momondo’s Commercial Manager, was so kind to answer a couple of questions:

What do you like about zanox?

Pia Vemmelund: “We like the technology zanox uses which makes the implementation easy, and we like to see all programs available without having to sort by country. Global account managers are really important for us and zanox fulfill this role brilliantly.”

What do you expect from the zanox VIP Club?

Pia Vemmelund: “We expect attention and proactive behaviour from the zanox team, good deals and focus on the tracking/performance. We expect zanox to understand our product and needs and to be able to connect us to good advertisers to whom we can build a long term relation.”

What are your plans for the future?

Pia Vemmelund: “Continue the growth mainly in Europa and US for flights. We have been recommended as the widest and fastest search for flight and we’ll protect that position.”

More information about the zanox VIP Club and its exclusive benefits and services is available on our VIP landing page.

This also means for you that by the 3rd of March, the old version of our publisher statistics will be officially removed from your User Interface’s navigation bar and replaced by our new stats.

+++ UPDATE: Because of our yearly internal company event, we decided to launch on March 10 instead of March 3! +++

You will still be able to access and use the old statistics, but we think that the new ones should definitely be your first choice. And here is why:

What’s new: There is no download limitation (quota) anymore, the data for each programme can be retrieved as often as you like. Furthermore, we expanded the content, for example there is a new unique zanox product ID that remains the same throughout all product data updates. Also, we included ISBN numbers for products and introduced a coherent zanox category tree.

File names are now generated dynamically and include the creation date, programme ID, and partner ID - so you can see when the product data was updated and which programme and partner ID it was exported for.

As a zanox publisher, you will receive commission for each new partner who registers in the zanox Application Store. Furthermore, attractive commission is paid for each application which is uploaded by the recruited partner and approved by zanox to be published in the Application Store.

Commissions:

Especially during peak seasons like Christmas, affiliate programmes with a short confirmation time are way more attractive to publishers than others. So also as an advertiser, you can benefit from speeding up your Christmas business: The faster you approve transactions, and the shorter you set your auto confirmation time, the more money your publishers can reinvest into promoting your programmes, and the more attractive your programmes and promotions will become for other publishers too.

Advertisers who reduce their confirmation time significantly may let us know, so that we can point our publishers especially to those programmes.

The confirmation time is also one criterion for our selected Christmas offers: The weekly round-up of the most promising campaigns helps publishers finding out which advertisers offer the most attractive Christmas promotions, which products promise the greatest success or which ad media will lead to the best conversions: http://affiliate.zanox.com/global/affiliate-programmes

Have a successful and profitable end-of-year business!

Right in time for the start of the Christmas business, we kicked-off our exclusive, weekly round-up of the most promising advertiser campaigns today. Starting now, we will present you the most attractive offers and deals at a glance. As a publisher, you will receive three recommendations in comparison every week, via your Account start page, our promotion page (just click on “promotions” for your country), the weekly newsletter and our zanox Blogs. Find out which advertisers offer the most attractive Christmas promotions, which products promise the greatest success or which product will lead to the best conversions. You’ll also get all the information on commissions, confirmation rates and times, as well as specials, such as expanded SEM facilities, search deep links, standalone newsletters and special ad media can be seen at a glance.

The selection of the Advertisers is done by our local zanox teams and will focus on the appeal of the exclusive Christmas promotions and the programme quality. This should give you a perfect opportunity to plan your seasonal activities to perfection and to achieve the best possible conversions. We are looking forward to a great year-end business with all of you!

So what’s new? Our new sub-ID management uses general purpose tracking parameters (GPP), which consist of a series of alpha numeric parameters. When a potential customer clicks a publisher’s ad media link and GPP parameters are filled in, the values are stored in the zanox tracking system. If the customer generates a conversion, the stored GPP values are retrieved from the zanox tracking system and placed in the statistics for the publisher. So GPP is basically a container which publishers can use to place their own tracking information onto conversions. From now on, all publishers are able to use sub-ID management without further activation.

If you want to learn more about our new sub-ID management with GPP, check out our Wiki documentation or download the PDF manual. It includes a detailed description and guides you through the process.
