Embedded Videos

The Embedded Videos creative type lets you upload flash videos of your choosing to be embedded into pages by affiliates, allowing them to promote your offers. After uploading your embedded video, Trackfinity will automatically provide affiliates with a tracking link for your video, as well the code needed to embed your videos into webpages.

Uploading a Downloadable Video

Click the Click the Content category to display existing Content creative types. Next, click the View button from the actions dropdown menu to be taken to the page displaying available downloadable videos.

Displaying an Embedded Video

Before your affiliates can include your new Embedded Video in one of their promotions, you must first add a "SHOW" rule. To do so:

  1. Select "Add a new rule" from the video's Actions button.
  2. On the next page, click the Add Rule button.
  3. Select SHOW from the options dropdown

This will enable the video either for selected affiliates, commissions, and offers or all of them. Once you create a "SHOW" rule for an embedded video, affiliates will be able to grab the linkcode for that video through their Creatives page.
