A single affiliate or member may aggregate many traffic sources. Without a sub-ID contract, poor and strong sources collapse into the same reporting row.

01

Preserve source context

Nexus can require or preserve sub-ID context in XML request configuration. Naming and allowed values should be agreed with the partner before launch.

  • Source
  • Placement
  • Campaign reference
  • Partner-defined segment
02

Apply policy at the correct level

Member limits protect the account boundary while sub-ID reporting helps operators investigate quality and performance beneath it.

03

Avoid identity ambiguity

Sub-IDs should not be treated as authenticated identity. They are request context and must be validated and interpreted within the partner contract.

Product accuracy

This guide describes Nexus product architecture and general AdTech operating concepts. Exact enforcement and integration behavior depends on the enabled revenue engine and agreed deployment configuration.
