Quickstart for New Publishers
By default, most new placements include Search API credentials (dynamic CPC from the marketplace) and an affiliate link. You can monetize outbound traffic with the link and/or query jobs programmatically via the Search API (why dynamic pricing behaves the way it does).
Ship with what you received
| Default piece | Purpose | Integration guide |
|---|---|---|
| Publisher Dashboard (TAP) | Analytics, Earnings Report exports, Feed Configuration (API/XML credentials), teammates | Publisher Dashboard (TAP) — sign in at tap.talroo.com after onboarding sends your login |
Search API (id, pass) | Live jobs, fresh click URLs per query | API Integration — then the Search API spec for every parameter |
| Affiliate link | Track clicks from email, social, bios, newsletters | Affiliate Link |
XML feeds, widgets, and other patterns are available when they match your product; use Integrations to compare and request the right setup when you need it. Use TAP to reconcile early traffic against Analytics before you widen volume.
Concepts that pay off early
Skim these before you scale traffic — they explain how you get paid, how Talroo ranks jobs, and what hurts Quality Score.
| Topic | Why it matters for you |
|---|---|
| Search Algorithm | How results are ordered beyond raw keyword match and CPC — helps you interpret relevance and inventory changes. |
| Quality Score | Network-wide traffic quality signal; affects eligibility and economics. |
| Click Validation | Valid-click rules (bots, duplicates, non‑US traffic) plus why stale/expired URLs cost money — especially relevant if you cache API or feed responses. |
| Intermediate Landing Pages | What jobseekers may see on Jobs2Careers (e.g. Featured Job, Easy Apply) before the employer site. |
| Affiliate ID Segmenting | When to split traffic across multiple affiliate IDs so reporting and optimization stay clean. |

The Concepts index lists every topic (including PID if you later tune API personalization). Operational reporting and TAP screens live under Publisher Dashboard (TAP).
