I’m sure you may be asking yourself, “Who are Tapdaq?” So, let’s start by answering that question.
Tapdaq is a community of developers who exchange insights and installs to help each other build better applications and acquire users, for no cost.
Ultimately, we believe developers who build high quality applications should have a fair opportunity to succeed, and from the start, GeoRiot has been helping us to achieve this.
Our CEO / Co-Founder Jesse Lakes recently sat down with ContractIQ founder Ashwin Ramasamy to share his expertise on app monetization best practices within the Apple’s affiliate program.
Topics discussed include the basics of affiliation, monetization across multiple affiliate programs, how the programs impact a user’s experience, using the program to gain insight into user behavior, and managing multiple programs across several countries simultaneously.
ContractIQ has made a name for themselves by showcasing and writing about some of the most interesting mobile development companies around. We’re flattered to have caught their eye and had a great time working with them. Thanks to Ashwin and the crew at Contract IQ for a great interview!
As you’re going about the affiliation of your iTunes and App Store links, you may have noticed some parameters at the end of each, similar to the following:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nihilumbra/id690479752?mt=12&uo=4&ls=1&affid=2131313
Ever wondered what those are for? Many people do (or don’t) and inadvertently strip off the important ones which can lead to an unfortunate user experience (like trying to buy a game in the iTunes app and getting an error). For those using the GeoRiot global linking and affiliation service this is never a concern as it’s handled by us, but for those taking on the battle alone, or who are just curious, we put together this little cheat sheet for you.
Two billion. It’s the number of planets estimated by scientists to be suitable to sustain life. It’s the size of our global population at the turn of the 20th century. The total number of Beatles albums sold in the United States. And now… the number of clicks served by yours truly.
Since crossing the one billion-click mile-marker in May, we’ve nearly doubled our volume just six months later.
We’ve re-engineered our Links page from the ground up to give you better, more organized access to your existing GeoRiot short links, and an updated tool for future links!
To get started, log into your dashboard and head to the all-new Linking Console– your destination for creating, organizing and managing all of your GeoRiot affiliate campaigns. On the left is the new Short Link Creator. Here, you can simply copy / paste an iTunes or Amazon product URL to create a georiot.co link, or, explore additional functionalities such as adding a tracking tag or grouping your link with your existing links for easier organization down the road. (If you prefer to build your links manually, you can still do so using any of our standard link formats and / or iTunes linking tools – located to the right of the link creator field.)
