Yes, absolutely! Domain redirection is completely acceptable.

Here are the 7 things you should have ingrained in your memory by now…

Pay-Per-Sale or PPS – also known as Cost-Per-Sale (CPS) – stands for Pay Per Sale.
It refers to a pricing model where affiliates are paid once they directly generate a sale from the merchant’s or advertiser’s website.
A PPS offer typically pays more per individual sale, but it often has a lower associated conversion rate than its PPL (pay-per-lead) counterpart. This is because PPS offers require the user to enter their credit card information to classify as a sale.
In most cases, assuming the user enters their credit card information, the affiliate will still earn the PPS commission even on trials.

Once you see an offer you like based on its name, thumbnail, product description or payout… you will land on what we call the offer page.
This is the page where you’ll obtain your affiliate tracking link URL (your unique link specific to your account) and where you can obtain certain creatives, like banner ads, to begin displaying on your website, tube or blog.
At the top of this offer page, to the right, it is here you will find information about the Offer’s payout (payout type) as well as the Terms & Conditions and accepted countries with respect to this offer.
Remember, each offer’s Terms & Conditions may be different. Some offers have different restrictions and flexibilities. Be mindful of this and be sure you read this information carefully before sending traffic.
You tracking link will contain the offer id and your affiliate id within it.
If you click Link Customization, you can add sub-IDs to your link to clarifying information to your links (such as detailing traffic sources and other relevant campaign labels here).
We offer more than 400 offers with different payout types.
At CrakRevenue, you will find pay-per-lead (PPL) offers, subdivided into SOI (Single Opt-In) and DOI (Double Opt-In), pay-per-sale (PPS), Click-per-Install (CPI), RevShare, RevShare Lifetime and Cost-Per-Clicks (CPC) programs available to promote.
Because you are joining a group of Webmasters who generate large volumes of leads, you will have access to higher payouts. The more quality traffic you send, the more we will be able to raise your payout.
Payout types are not to be confused with payout tiers. Payout tiers are a categorization of world regions based on their economy and spending habits, as well as other considerations.
You can send your traffic directly to your favorite MFC model’s room if she’s online.
Simply add &model=nameofthecamgirl at the end of your CrakRevenue MFC link code.
(e.g., http://frtyb.com/go/1q1q1q1q/DEFAULT&model=SweetSunny)
(The above example is for examples purposes only — this is NOT your affiliate link)
If the model you choose is not online, the system will detect this and your visitor will be redirected to the MyFreeCams homepage.
Please also note: This may not always work on certain web-browsers:
IE 6,7,8 and Safari — These browsers are known to keep the user on MyFreeCams’ homepage.

Drive More Results From Your Campaigns – Pick the Right Tour!
All new CrakRevenue affiliates start out with a cap of 25 leads per day, per offer, for a minimum 5-day period.
You’re just starting out with us, so this will allow us to get to know your traffic better before we grant you full access.
We closely monitor capped accounts and will automatically lift the restriction once the conversion ratio is satisfactory. You will be notified immediately once the cap is lifted from your account. Although, If you happen to send more than 25 leads per day to a specific program during this small time period, don’t hesitate to contact your Affiliate Adviser or the support team.
During this trial period, if or when the cap is surpassed, the offer will be redirected to the appropriate Revshare offer. The cap is only temporary and will be lifted as soon as we’re able to see that you’re sending quality traffic that converts.
We are highly experienced in the art of geo-targeting.
Your users & visitors will always see the best available offer based on their geographic location, so you always stand to make the most money possible.
Example:
If one of your visitors from an unaccepted country visits a specific offer, this visitor will be redirected to the appropriate offer that does accept this visitor’s location.
The good news: traffic from unaccepted GEOs is never lost!
Talking about geo-targeted offers; have you heard of our Smartlinks? Find out everything you need to know HERE and optimise your traffic without lifting a finger!

If you’re promoting a Pay-Per-Lead offer (SOI, DOI), you are paid for the leads that you generate only. We are unable to disclose any other information pertaining to the lead that we paid you for. We monitor conversions on our side for traffic quality / CPA purposes only.
If you want to know if your free-to-paid lead ratio is OK for continued eligibility into any SOI or DOI offer, you are welcome to reach out to your Affiliate Manager or our support team (if you don’t have one) and express your concerns.
However, if you’re seeking detailed information on the number of free-to-paid users you have referred, we are unable to disclose this, as it goes against our Provider’s agreements. For those whom this is important to, we recommend promoting a RevShare model instead, as a RevShare model would provide the detailed information you’re seeking.
In short, if there’s a problem with your free-to-paid ratio or PPL offer eligibility, we’ll contact you.
As a new affiliate, you will receive a unique ID number which is automatically added to all of your links to properly track your sales, like this:
A sales sheet will be provided to all agents with the default payouts for every offer. The OFFERS section of your CrakRevenue account can also give you that information.

Revshare — sometimes labeled as RS or RPS — stands for Revenue Sharing.
At CrakRevenue there are 2 types of Revshare programs:
When you promote a Revshare lifetime offer, it means you get a percentage of whatever your user spends — anytime your user spends anything.
Revshare Lifetime income is for the lifetime of the user you refer and it never expires.
Example: If you are promoting a Lifetime Revshare Cam offer, and the user registers for free, you receive no commission for this lead. You would only receive a commission if this lead of yours eventually decided on upgrading their account and purchases “tokens” or “credits.” If the token or credit package costs $19.99, you would receive X% of that number, and this would be your Revshare earnings on that particular amount.
When you promote any Revshare offer, it means you receive a promised percentage of the commissions paid by your traffic, from the advertiser.
This means that the commission paid is shared by CrakRevenue and its affiliates.
Example: If you are promoting a Revshare Nutra offer, and your user purchases a bunch of products, you receive a percentage of the commission paid by the advertiser: The commissions are shared between CrakRevenue and you. If your user spendings are $100 for instance, and the payout offered is set at 80% Revshare, you’ll receive $80 by of the payout.
For examples on how profitable Revshare offers can become, please see:
The Multi-CPA label is used to indicate that an offer can be paid on different payout types.
For example, when you use CrakRevenue Smartlinks or promote a CrakRevenue Survey, the offers shown to the user will vary depending on their geographic location and the device he or she is using. Therefore, the conversion model may vary as well and – consequently – the payout type.
Therefore, a multiple-payout model usually consists of a mix of Pay Per Lead (DOI & SOI), Pay Per Sale, and Revshare & Lifetime Revshare payouts.
