Cap/Redirected Offer Texting Service Update

Yesterday I wrote about this idea where a service would text you if your Affiliate Marketing offer got redirected, capped, pulled, etc.

The response I got was pretty impressive. In fact, I was pretty excited to hear that this service indeed does exist already!!! Whoop whoop! (Sorry if you started making this type of service – hey there is always room for improvement).

Today I was contacted by Matthew from Observe Point and told me about their service. Better yet, he offered me and all of my readers a special deal! But before I get into that… check out this email he sent me.

We’ve worked in the affiliate industry for many years and are all too familiar with the problems affiliates face every day. Driving traffic to down pages, broken redirects, disappearing tracking pixels. And now traffic caps. They’re not just annoying problems, they are a source of lost income. With no good solutions for the affiliate, we started ObservePoint.

We offer two types of monitoring: standard one-page monitoring and transaction monitoring. One-page monitoring can monitor any aspect of a page: server response, header load, page load, and pixels; tracks the load times for each item and trends them over time. We’ve helped lots of networks get money back in downtime situations because we were able to show the duration of the downtime.

Transaction Monitoring is a beta product that can meet the more advanced needs of affiliates, like cap monitoring. Using our Firefox plugin, you would “record” a two-step process where the first step starts at the landing page, and then continues to the advertiser’s page (the page that has a cap.) On that page, we choose to monitor a few unique objects to “mark” the page. Our back-end servers would then simulate the processes on a continual basis 24×7. When the page changes, an alert would be triggered and sent out via text, sms, or email.

Setting it up sounds simple because it really is – literally start firefox, open the sidebar and click through the process like a normal user. Click save, and ObservePoint does the rest.

We are currently in the process of making some major improvements to our website, plugin and product, and pricing structure, and even then we already have several large clients in the affiliate space using our monitoring to keep track of their offers.

We offer a free 7-day trial, and our pricing model is super-affordable — especially when you consider the potential loss. I’ve included a screen shot that shows a high-level view of the status of offers in a client’s account. This chart would be the main go-to place to find out which offers are operating and which aren’t, for whatever reason according to the offer.

Special Offer

So… They have a 7 day free trial offer but, he said that anyone who enters “VOLK” in the “How You Hear About Us” field get’s an extended free trial (14 days). [Thanks Matt!]

So go here and check it out.

It’s totally worth having in your affiliate business!
