Partner Discovery Platform
Publisher Discovery, the leading affiliate discovery and recruiting platform is now available to advertisers via a number of network and SaaS platform partners, as an add-on to their toolsets, for affiliate and partner discovery. These include partners such as Affiliate Future, TUNE, LinkConnector and Everflow, to help clients expand their relationships with affiliates, influencers and broader media partnerships.
“It’s exciting to see the rapid evolution of affiliate marketing into the broader inclusive category of Partner Marketing. This evolution, plus platform advancements, has opened up the amount of partnership opportunities available for brands while unlocking new opportunities for affiliates themselves to expand their reach and promotion methods”
Michael Cole, VP of Marketing, Everflow
Huge Increase in Data
The increase in affiliate numbers has been driven by advances in the identification and curation of the affiliate link data. The rise to over three million publisher websites is from analysis of over 2.7 billion affiliate links, referring through to over 460,000 advertisers worldwide.
The initial raw data is processed to eliminate dead links and websites to deliver the most relevant and valuable new potential affiliate partners, across over 80 market Verticals. The algorithm now also includes Trust Flow and Citation Flow scores for each of the affiliate websites, to further improve the relevance of results.
Michael Cole adds, “This rapid expansion in the number of affiliates and types of performance partners makes it increasingly important to build out processes for discovering and recruiting partners beyond traditional affiliate websites.”
