I am super new to affiliate marketing and confused by the neverblue interface. Would appreciate any pointers.

I've been approved by neverblue, and looking to set up my first campaign.

I'm planning to use facebook ppc with a direct link.

So, I've found the campaign that I want, and then I click "search creatives" tab.

This shows me a link for the offer.

My questions:
1) is this link the one that I paste into my facebook ad?
2) the form says "use site" and gives me a pulldown menu. Should I set this to "facebook.com" if so, how do I do that?
3) there is another box for subid. I think I know what a subid is, but is this something that neverblue generates, or something that I generate? Do I type anything into this box?

I searched on google and the neverblue website for some kind of a "getting started with neverblue for noobie dumbasses" but couldn't find one. Would be obliged for any pointers towards tutorials or other helpful info.
 


Since you're hella new and to avoid confusions.
1) Yes.
2) I never understood wtf the point of that feature was. maybe it's for people that don't like using 3rd party tracking software. just use whatever site's available.
3) subids are for distinguishing a set of visitors from another.
For example, you target girls aged 14-18 on facebook. You can put in 1418fem in the subid box. Notice what happens on the url: asfa.com/blalblabla/?subid=1418fem

Say if you made one ad for 14-18 year olds and one for 18-24 year olds. You assign a different subid, therefore a different url to each of those ads.
What happens is when you go check your reports after running your campaign, it will tell you how many clicks came in from 14-18 year olds and how many from 18-24. Then how many of those converted.

After you get to launching your second campaign, you should look into something called "php redirects". Google it when the time comes.
