Did you know that five new Facebook accounts are created every second? That’s a whole lot of likes! With an exponentially growing user base, social media sites like Facebook and Instagram have become enormous sources of traffic for online marketers. Our industry is constantly reshaped by the world around us so from time-to-time we like to revisit our guidelines and make sure they meet the present needs of our affiliates.
With an innovative, visually centered platform Instagram is quickly becoming the preferred social media outlet of celebrities, famous pets, e-commerce giants and even your favorite affiliate network.
We’re always excited to explore new sources of traffic so we’re now beginning to allow publishers to promote offers on Instagram on a case-by-case, approval basis. Our guidelines for approval can be found below:
We began to allow publishers to promote offers on Facebook fan pages a couple years ago and we’ve seen some great campaigns come from it. As a result, we’ve relaxed our restrictions just a bit.
With the launch of Sale Groups last year, Facebook groups have definitely grown in popularity. However, due to the potential for abuse we’ve mostly stayed away from them. If you own a Facebook group that you would like to monetize with affiliate offers, please contact your Affiliate Manger. No Facebook group promotion without written approval from PeerFly is allowed at this time.
While previous disallowed, we have started to allow advertiser via Twitter’s paid advertising platform. Our guidelines are as follows:
We don’t allow any direct promotion on Pinterest. If you own a website, you’re free to pin your articles as long as you’re promoting your site and its content and not offers.
I'm an Affiliate Manager at PeerFly.com.
hi Lauren thanks’ for an interesting post bye peter McGrath
Wow nice update from peerfly. Thanks for updating us
Gracias por la actualizacion de peerfly
Do peerfly accept paid advert from facebook and twitter
For the most part, but if you have good Pages or large Twitter audiences, we are willing to consider regular ad posts as well. Contact your AM for more information 🙂
yes but via a landing page or a custom domain
So only paid promotion of all Peerfly offers is allowed on Social Media? I have alot of converting traffic on Twitter, and I don’t pay for the ad platform if I’m not sure offers will convert. I’m not running alot of Peerfly’s offers because the ones I have come across so far all say ‘No Twitter’. While I understand the ‘can spam’ scenario, seems a waste to well…’waste’ that traffic source.
You can contact your AM about this. In some cases, we will allow it.

Thank you for the help.
Thank you for the guidelines.
What about Pinterest? I cannot find anything on it.
Hi Robert,
We don’t allow any direct promotion on Pinterest. If you own a website, you’re free to pin your articles as long as you’re promoting your site and its content and not offers.
That’s pretty vague. What if my article is about the offer? Let’s say I write one about how I love the game “Neverwinter” and have the offer link included?
I emailed my AM (Sadie Gee and she told me I could use my PT account for offers.
Considering you actually do not have a defined policy on Pinterest, it seems subject interpretation of the day/ mood of your employees.
I am already being told 2 different things.
Hi Robert,
I’m sorry if there’s confusion. As long as the offer allows social traffic and your article has content and you’re not spamming Pinterest with your article then that is okay. That isn’t considered direct promotion since you are posting an article that has content you wrote and isn’t just an affiliate link.
Thanks a lot for the guidelines.
