Creating and Managing Publisher Groups

 

Creating publisher groups makes it easier to manage and optimize managing your affiliate programs. You can create custom publisher groups based on an any criteria you want to sort your partners by. The most common category used is based on the promotional methods of the publisher (such as Coupon, Content, Media Buyer, etc). 

 

The two main advantages of creating and maintaining your publisher groups are the ability to send messages by selecting the group and creating and assigning private offers by group. Once you create these groups, all you will need to do is select the respective group in the dropdown where available.
