If you are a loan or a credit card issuer, you need to make sure your advertisement does not appear on affiliate websites which have inappropriate content. Our
loan and credit card content marketing software ensures your ads are displaying only on appropriate websites, and it also offers instant updates across the world wide web whenever you change your APR rates, fees, card art or other details.
How It Works:
- You specify Positive keywords/phrases - this ensures your ad is shown on targeted websites.
- You specify Negative keywords/phrases - this ensures your ad is not shown on websites which contain conflicting marketing content. If; for example, you offer a loan or a credit card for prime credit instead of sub-prime credit people, you can prevent your ad from appearing on web pages that contain words/phrases such as 'bad credit', 'guaranteed approval', etc.
- You create your ad and update it as often as you need - this ensures your marketing content accurately reflects your current terms, rates, fees, etc. Whenever you update your advertisement, those changes are instantly updated on all affiliate publisher websites.

CreditFederal's Content Matching Network
Banner Codes: The banner code provided to you via the "Get banner code" link, is the only code you need to place onto your web pages. This one code is for all your web sites and web pages. Copy/paste the entire code, including the ADS BEGIN and ADS END tags, into the HTML of your web page(s), between the <body> </body> tags where you desire our ad(s) to be displayed.
If you do not want CreditFederal's Content Matching Network to serve an advertisement on any particular page, simply do not insert the banner code into the HTML of such pages.
Most advertisements will be displayed within a 500 pixel wide by 200 pixel high box. If your web page content matches more than one advertisement, multiple ads will be displayed. You earn revenue for whichever ad(s) your site visitors click-through and apply. If your site visitors click-through and apply for more than one offer, you will earn revenue for each application provided applicant data is valid and the applicant meets the advertiser's terms.

Lead/Sale Reporting: As leads/sales are validated, you will receive an instant email notification. Additionally, you can view your earnings via the "Balance information" or "History" links in your affiliate control panel.

Ad Matching: When a visitor views your web page which contains our banner code, our software scans the content of your web page, including Meta Tags, Hyperlinks, Alt Text, Image Names, Page Names and Text. If your page content matches an advertisement;
or multiple ads, on our network, our software will display the ad(s).
NOTE: Some advertisers do not want their ads to appear on web pages which contain inappropriate material.
If; for example, you have a web page about credit cards and most of the content refers to 'bad credit', our prime credit card advertisements may not be displayed.
It is important that you
insert certain Key-Phrases into the content of each of your web pages so our software
will deliver the most relevant ad(s). For example: If you want a web page to display 'payday loan' offers, the web page needs to contain
the following Key-Phrase: "Preview Payday Loan Offers and Apply Online"
Some
advertisements will appear for more than one Key-Phrase. For example: Visa card
offers will appear for both; or either, Key-Phrases "Preview Visa Card Offers and Apply Online"
and "Preview Rewards Card Offers and Apply Online"

Why are non-matching ads being displayed on my web page? Our software delivers ads which match your web page's content, and will serve multiple ads if there is more than one match. Our software reads all content of your web page, including links to other pages. If; for example, your web page is about 'Debt Counseling', but you have multiple 'Credit Card' textual links, then the software will also match 'Credit Card' advertisements to that page.
You can correct this by reducing the number of non-relevant links and textual content on your web page(s).
If our software is displaying only the wrong ads: Again, this is because of your web page content. Even if your web page is about 'Debt Counseling'; for example, if the bulk of your page content matches our 'Credit Card' ads but not our 'Debt Counseling' ads, then 'Credit Card' ads will be displayed. You will need to adjust the content of your page; including links, so our software can better understand what your web page is about.
If no ads are being displayed: This will occur if we do not have any ads which match your page's content. To see if we have matching ads, click on the "Active Ads" link via your affiliate control panel. If we do have matching ads but they are not being displayed, this means your page does not contain enough relevant content. You can correct this by adding more relevant content (textual words) to your web page.

Why does the word "Advertisement" appear on every ad served? This is to ensure advertisement integrity, should there be conflicting content on your web page. For example: Prime Credit Card Issuers do not want their offers marketed as 'guaranteed approval'. By outlining such advertisements and placing the word "Advertisement" within the ad box, it helps to inform consumers that other content on your page may not reflect what the ad offers.

Click Statistics? For the efficient delivery of ads (speed and accuracy), some features had to be sacrificed, including "click" statistics. Via your control panel, you can view statistics that show the web page which generated the most banner views for the current day, as well as the web page which generated the most viewed of all time. Also, you can view the total times each individual banner ad was displayed.

Instant Lead/Sale Notifications: A great feature of our software, is the email notifications it will send to you each time a lead or sale generated by you is approved. If a Client manually approves leads/sales, there may be a delay in approval and receipt of the email. Please ensure your email address is correct and does not have filters that block the automated notifications.

Affiliate ID Number? Each affiliate is assigned an ID number, which is visible in the "Banner Code" (var pubid =).
Although ads may not display your ID number within the click-through URL, your activity (leads and sales) are still tracked via our software. You can also learn your Affiliate UID (User ID) by logging into the Control Panel and clicking on the 'My account properties' option.
