Great! iTunes Link Engine plugin ads no tables to your Wordpress blog database.Turn every iTunes link across your site into an opportunity for worldwide sales by instantly converting all your links to the iTunes, App Store, iBooks, and Mac App Store, into intelligent globalized links. For every click, your links will automatically redirect to the same item in a visitor’s local iTunes storefront to bridge the gap between iTunes’ geographically segmented storefronts and your international audience.
Whether you are promoting music, TV, movies, books or apps, within the iTunes ecosystem, the iLE is the easiest way to localize and affiliate every link so that it works across every iTunes Storefront. By “localizing” these links, you ensure all clicks from your viewers around the world are redirected to the appropriate item in their own local storefront with your affiliate ID attached. This improves the user’s experience by bringing them to the place they’re most likely to purchase, and helps you earn the commissions you deserve.
How is GeoRiot different?
Most link “localization” plugins only translate a link for an international click when the same ADAM (Apple Digital Asset Management) ID exists in both storefronts. However, due to many factors including Digital Rights licensing and the use of various distributors across different countries, the ADAM ID is not guaranteed to be the same. The iTunes Link Engine plugin uses GeoRiot’s patented five-step algorithm to find the metadata available from each product, and then match the product across storefronts. Our algorithm ensures that the user is sent to the most relevant product instead of sending your users to a non-existent item or an error message.
In addition, connecting your GeoRiot account to the iTunes Link Engine gives you access to comprehensive reporting on clicks and commissions that no other plugin can offer. GeoRiot’s reports allow you to review performance metrics such as product types, click referrer, browser, device, operating system, geography, and more.
How does the iTunes Link Engine plugin work?
As soon as the plugin is installed and activated, your iTunes product links are instantly localized every time a user loads the page. You can even add new links to your WordPress site and each will be automatically converted without any additional work from you – just continue your normal workflow.
How do I earn commissions from my links?
To earn affiliate commissions, you first need to create a GeoRiot account, then connect it to your plugin (detailed instructions can be found in the FAQ. Note: If you want to take advantage of the affiliate ID management, and in-depth reporting, you can sign up for GeoRiot and try it out for free for 30 days.
Next, add your PHG affiliate ID to your GeoRiot Dashboard. Once your parameter has been added, the iTunes Link Engine will automatically add your affiliate ID to each link within your WordPress site.
Note: You are NOT required to create a GeoRiot account, nor add your affiliate parameters to use this plugin. If you’re only interested in giving your international audience a better experience, this plugin can still be used for free to make sure each click gets redirected to their local storefront.
Further, it’s important to note that the iLE plugin does not currently recognize the affiliate parameters already added to the iTunes links on your site. In order to properly affiliate iTunes links you’ll need to do so with a correctly connected GeoRiot account.
