Interface Updates

A few exciting interface updates for you. We hope you enjoy. Feedback is always welcomed. 

• You can now search for publishers by their ID.
• If you update your additional terms & conditions, check the box to notify publishers automatically via email that your terms have been updated.

New visibility preferences feature available

Visibility settings lets you screen non-joined publishers based on the location they've supplied in their AdSense profile. You can configure visibility settings based on country, as well as by US state. By default, all countries and US states are selected. If you don't want your affiliate program to be visible to publishers in specific countries or US States, just de-select those countries or states.

New year over year performance summary chart

We just released a new report on your homepage dashboard. This new performance summary report will display year over year variances for the selected time frame you choose from the drop down box. If you did not have any activity in your account last year, you will currently see this message displayed "This information is currently unavailable. Please check later."
