Many brands on impact.com use a mix of standard ads for partners, such as:
Image ads — these are static or animated images that partners can place on their media properties (such as alongside their website or blog) that will send their audience to your landing page.
Text Links — these are links that partners can place anywhere on their media properties that can send their audience to your landing page, or if deep linking is enabled, to specific pages on your website.
Coupons — these are text link ads tied to one of your deals, and are an efficient method to share deals with multiple or all of your partners.
