At a Glance: This article provides detailed knowledge of smart links and smart link creation.

Smart Link contains various offers, and through one unique link, you can send traffic to the most relevant offer. Basically, you are assuring that every click will be monetized and none will get lost along the way due to incorrect geo, device, etc., or any other targeting.

For example, if there are some clicks that are not from your target countries, they will be delivered to another campaign that needs the clicks from that country. This is a very effective way to make use of the traffic.


This feature is available in Agency and Enterprise Plans.
