Marketing partners function similarly to custom sources in that they can be affiliates, publishers, or third-party traffic providers who send leads or traffic to your campaigns. However, the key distinction lies in the level of access and transparency they are given. Unlike a typical custom source, marketing partners are provided with their own dedicated affiliate portal within the Pingtree system. This portal allows them to log in and monitor the performance of the traffic they are sending to your campaigns. They can view metrics such as the number of leads submitted, approval rates, conversion rates, earnings, and other relevant performance indicators. This setup creates a more professional and scalable relationship, giving partners greater visibility and incentive to optimize their traffic quality. It also simplifies communication and reporting, as partners can independently track their results in real time without needing manual updates from your team. Under the **Marketing Partners (MP)** tab, campaign owners can invite new marketing partners to join Pingtree (PT) and collaborate on lead generation campaigns. All Sources ## How It Works 1.
