This is what we offer you!

DIRECT-LINK SURFERS

During a Referral's visit to ThumbsMag that originates from your ThumbsMag Link, you get 80% of the outgoing traffic to sponsors' paysites and galleries - 8 out of 10 times a Sponsor Link (to a gallery and/or a paysite) will contain your Sponsor Code and other related information (a sponsors' program, tracking code if supported, etc.)

COOKIE-BASED REPEAT VISITORS

Whenever your Referrals come back to ThumbsMag other than by clicking on your ThumbsMag Link (i.e. type-in, bookmarks), you get 70% of the outgoing traffic. That means that 7 out of 10 times a Sponsor Link will contain your Sponsor Code and information.

How does it work?

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
  1. First, you sign up. It takes less than a minute
  2. Log in to your new Partner account
  3. Enter your Sponsor Code(s) for each sponsor/website that we promote (yes, we are NATS-compatible!)
  4. You can even customize most sponsors down to a specific program that they offer (i.e. Per Signup, Recurring, No Consoles), specify a Tracking/Campaign Code if they support such feature, and more!
  5. Start sending your traffic using your ThumbsMag Link (i.e. http://www.thumbsmag.com/main.html?Partner-ID)

KEEPING TRACK OF THE SURFERS YOU SEND

The link you use to send your surfers to ThumbsMag contains your ThumbsMag Partner ID. When a surfer comes to the site using this link, your Partner ID is stored in a cookie on their computer. This enables us to keep track of their activity throughout the site even if they decide to leave and come back at a later time. Remember, you get 80% of the outgoing sponsor traffic whenever they visit directly using your ThumbsMag Link (and until they close their browser), and 70% when they come back and we successfully read your information using the cookie we originally saved.

Our Cookies do not expire, but can still be manually deleted by the surfer or overridden by another ThumbsMag Partner should the surfer visit using that Partner's Link. The same rule applies to you - if you happen to send a surfer who already has someone else's Partner ID saved in a cookie, yours will override it and from that moment on, you are his referrer.

COUNTING THE CLICKS...

It is important to understand that we count RAW clicks globally and not per Referral. We maintain two counters per Partner that allow us to apply the 80% and 70% rules. This is the order in which we will determine whose Sponsor Code to use in a Sponsor Link - yours or ours (the cycle repeats itself every 10 raw clicks):

DIRECT-LINK VISIT, YOU GET 80%:
(1) YOURS, (2) YOURS, (3) ours, (4) YOURS, (5) YOURS, (6) YOURS, (7) ours, (8) YOURS, (9) YOURS, (10) YOURS

COOKIE-BASED RETURN VISITORS, YOU GET 70%:
(1) YOURS, (2) YOURS, (3) ours, (4) YOURS, (5) ours, (6) YOURS, (7) ours, (8) YOURS, (9) YOURS, (10) YOURS

When it's your "turn", your Sponsor Code for the specific sponsor gallery/paysite that was clicked will be used. If you did not tell us your Sponsor Code for that particular sponsor - you will lose that click. Therefore, it's important that you let us know as many Codes as possible!

Our Partners Program applies to the entire ThumbsMag site, including the Archive. However, up to 10% of all thumbs pointing to a gallery on each ThumbsMag Volume are PAID SPOTS and are not part of this Program.

We do not skim outgoing gallery traffic. If we have to accomodate link trades in a ThumbsMag Volume, we simply add text-links and banners as necessary. Gallery thumbs will always send the surfer to the actual gallery.

Stats and Performance Reports

Each click to a gallery and/or a paysite is accounted for. Always. This allows us to give you accurate real-time statistics, available to you in your Partner account area. Feel free to compare them to your sponsors' stats. We have absolutely nothing to hide! This is some of what we will tell you:
  1. Outgoing clicks to Sponsors' hosted galleries (with hosted galleries, however, we can't track how many visit the paysite afterwards)
  2. Visits to custom ThumbsMag Galleries that we host ourselves
  3. Outgoing clicks directly to a Paysite from the front page of a Volume and/or a custom ThumbsMag Gallery
  4. Incoming traffic information (uniques, page views, hits, geographic location) for your ThumbsMag Link (you can even use different tracking codes to easily analyze where the traffic is coming from!)
  5. See how often your referrals visit ThumbsMag
  6. See exactly how many referrals of yours BOOKMARKED ThumbsMag through our Bookmark link

We will also let you know as soon as another Partner sends a referral of yours to us and overrides your cookie. This will help you understand what to expect in terms of incoming traffic in the near future.

Get started today! Stop wasting your traffic on opportunities that don't convert!
