Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our Smart TDS traffic routing, crawler mitigation, in-app browser behavior, and campaign protection.

01 How does Bot Diversion work? Will real humans also get diverted?

Our Smart TDS analyzes every incoming request header, User-Agent signature, ASN network, and device fingerprints in sub-millisecond real time.

Crawlers & Review Bots: When social platforms (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, ByteDance, Google Ads) send automated review bots or link scrapers, the system identifies them and immediately diverts them to your configured Safe / Fallback URL (such as Wikipedia or an authority news site). The bot never discovers your affiliate destination.

Real Human Visitors: Verified humans pass through without restriction. If they match your Geo-targeting rules, they are routed seamlessly to either your clean Pre-lander template or directly to your Target CPA offer. Real visitors are never blocked unless their country is explicitly blacklisted.

02 What happens when a user opens the link inside a social media In-App Browser (Facebook, TikTok, Instagram)?

When users click links inside social apps like Facebook, TikTok, or Instagram, the link opens inside their built-in webview (In-App Browser).

Our engine detects human in-app webviews and preserves session headers. Because our Pre-lander templates contain zero adult keywords (using clean themes like "Private Profile Preview", "HD Stream Player", "Fast Download"), the in-app browser's real-time safety scanner approves the page without flagging or suspending the post.

When the user taps the call-to-action button, the user transitions safely to your offer with all SubIDs and tracking parameters intact.

03 What is the difference between Country Whitelist (Allow) and Blacklist (Block)?

Allow Mode (Whitelist): Only visitors originating from your specified countries (e.g. US, CA, GB) reach the offer. Traffic from any other country is safely routed to the Safe URL. This is ideal when your CPA offer only pays for specific Tier 1 geographies.

Block Mode (Blacklist): You can select countries you want to exclude (e.g. BD, IN, PK, NG, PH) or territories where competitors or click-farms originate. Visitors from those blocked countries are diverted to the Safe URL, while traffic from the entire rest of the world proceeds to the offer.

04 Why do we use Natural Pre-Lander Templates instead of direct adult warnings?

Social media algorithms (Meta, ByteDance, Google) inspect pre-lander source code for words like "18+", "Adults only", and "explicit". If detected, the algorithm immediately blacklists the link and flags the advertiser's account.

Our 5-6 natural templates provide a psychological bridge that feels organic:

  • Dating Profile Preview: Shows member status and "Visit Profile" CTA without any explicit terms.
  • HD Video Stream: Clean media player with "Play Video" button.
  • Sweepstake / Giveaway: Reward claim verification for gift card and sweepstake CPA offers.
  • Cloud File Download: Media storage style with "Fast Download" CTA.
  • Security Verification: Cloudflare-style browser safety challenge.
  • Direct 302: Direct redirect for clean whitehat traffic.

05 How does Custom Domain Rotation protect our main website?

If affiliates run aggressive campaigns on a single domain, that domain risks accumulating spam flags across social platforms.

With our Custom Domain Pool, administrators can add disposable or rotated secondary domains. Pro subscribers can create links on separate domains (e.g. safe-link-traffic.com/slug) while keeping the main platform domain 100% clean and unflagged.

06 Are affiliate SubIDs, click IDs, and UTM parameters preserved?

Yes! Whenever you append query parameters to your short link (e.g. mydomain.com/slug?sub1=fb&sub2=ad_5&utm_campaign=summer), our engine extracts the parameters and appends them to your target offer URL. Your CPA network never misses tracking your conversions.

07 How do Pre-Lander Banner Ads work?

The Admin can configure mobile-friendly banner ad scripts (e.g. 300x50, 320x50, 300x250) in the Admin panel. These ads display at the top or bottom of selected pre-lander templates, allowing site owners to monetize traffic impressions with extra ad revenue while driving traffic to CPA offers.
