Monetize Your Website or App with CPAlead’s Overlay Link & File Locker

Looking to monetize your website or mobile app more effectively? CPAlead's new Link and File Locker with Overlay mode offers a powerful solution that rewards users while generating revenue for you. This guide will walk you through how to implement this feature and take your content monetization strategy to the next level.

What is CPAlead's Link and File Locker?

The Link and File Locker is a powerful tool that enables website owners and mobile app developers to lock premium content behind user-completed offers. The new 'Overlay' mode allows you to implement this feature on any page, with dynamic titles based on your link text and customizable access durations.

Why Choose CPAlead for Content Monetization?

CPAlead operates a real-time bidding marketplace where advertisers compete for your traffic, delivering some of the best CPA, CPI, and CPC offers in the affiliate marketing industry. Our Pay Per Click offers reward you anywhere from 3 cents to $3 per click, making us a preferred choice for content creators looking to maximize revenue.

Setting Up Your Link or File Locker

Getting started with CPAlead's Overlay mode is simple. Here's how to set it up in just a few steps:

1. Create a New Locker

Navigate to the Tools tab in your CPAlead dashboard and select "Create New Link/File Locker." Be sure to check the "Enable Overlay Mode" option to access the new feature.

2. Configure Unlock Duration

Set how long users will have access to your content after completing an offer:

24 hours (recommended): Balances user convenience with monetization opportunities.
Up to 720 hours: Extend access for up to a full month.
Zero hours: Require offer completion every time a user accesses the content—ideal for reward-based systems using postback integration.

3. Customize Your Locker

Personalize your locker's appearance to match your site or app:

Title: Create an inviting introduction like "Please complete an action below to unlock:"
Dynamic Content: Choose to display the name of your link inside the locker (e.g., "Ultimate Powerup").
Visual Customization: Adjust font sizes, padding, background colors, and font colors to seamlessly integrate with your design.

4. Get Your Code

After creating your locker, click on it in your dashboard and select "Get Code" to access the implementation code.

Implementing the Locker on Your Website or App

Follow these two simple steps to implement the locker on your website or mobile app:

1. Add the Locker Code

Insert the full locker code just before the closing body tag in your HTML (999999 is a placeholder, your Publisher ID will go there):

<script>window.CPAlead_PublisherUserId = 999999;</script><script src="https://cdnflair.com/js/interact-form.js" async defer></script>

2. Lock Your Links

Add specific attributes to any links you want to monetize:

data-interact-trigger: Required for all links you want to lock.
data-tool-id: The unique ID of the locker you created (automatically populated in the code).
data-subid, data-subid2, data-subid3 (optional): Custom tracking parameters to identify users, pages, or other variables.

Example: Locking a Premium Link

Here's how to transform a standard link into a monetized one:

Standard link before monetization:

<a href="https://yoursite.com/ultimate-powerup">Ultimate Powerup</a>

Monetized link with CPAlead:

<a href="https://yoursite.com/ultimate-powerup" data-interact-trigger data-tool-id="999">Ultimate Powerup</a>

Advanced Integration: Using the Postback System

Take your monetization strategy to the next level by integrating with CPAlead's postback system. This allows you to:

Automate Rewards: Automatically provide virtual items, level skips, or other benefits when users complete offers.
Track User Actions: Receive real-time notifications when users complete offers.
Customize Rewards: Create unique reward systems based on specific offers or user segments.
