Redirects
Redirect incoming hits to niche pages ? Based on Referer - SmartCJ can automatically redirect incoming traffic to appropriate category depending on a referrer. But for this feature to work name of your category should be somewhere in referrer. Ie if referer = http://trader.com/test.html and you have a category named 'Test' - traffic will be redirected, but if your category is named 'Big test' - it won't.
Custom Redirects, format: keyword|niche_name - this feature adds some functionality to the feature above. For example you want to redirect hits from http://trader.com/test.html to Big test. You have to add 'test|Big test'
Trade by groups
Let's say we have a multiniche site and we want to trade by niches ie send from a niche page to traders who are from the same group. In this case we have to add &group=… parameter to out links. But if we use rewrites and our links look like /gallery/cool_gal/index.html - it could be not very nice to add some other words to links (like /gallery/current_group/cool_gal/index.html + we have to change rewrite a bit to pass those parameters to out.php). That's why another option exists.
If you use default rewrites that means you have category links like /category/123/asian/ or /category/asian/, ie if someone clicks in this category - we will see category name in referrer.
So to use this feature you have to
- create trade groups with the same names as rotation groups. You can do it with 1 click in Rotation - Groups (Copy To Trade Groups)
- add traders to appropriate groups
- Rotation - settings switch on “Niche trade”
- that's it :)
Sell by groups
Similarly to “Trade by groups” you can also sell traffic by groups. Usually in Traffic Rules - Traffic Sell we have URL to broker like http://brocker.com/?id=your_id and all of your sold traffic goes to the same URL. But if you could sell traffic from /category/japanese/ to let's says http://brocker.com/?id=your_id&niche=japanese (actual URL depends on broker you work with) broker could give you better price.
To do it we add group parameter {GROUP} to sell URL ( http://brocker.com/?id=your_id&niche={GROUP}) But we still have one issue: what if broker doesn't have niche name 'japanese' and instead has a niche named 'tube_asian'. To fic this we have in Rotation - Settings a field 'Niche traffic sell' where you can fix it
tube_asian=Japanese,Asian where tube_asian - name of this niche at boker's site, and Japanese,Asian - our groups, separated by comma
