Partner with a Reliable Affiliate Marketing Network

The first thing you need to ensure is that you work with a reliable network like PropellerAds. Because this will allow you to enjoy advanced features.

For instance, PropellerAds provides a WordPress plugin that makes tag implementation a lot easier. This greatly simplifies the process as WordPress doesn’t offer support for publishers who want to add tags.
