Swipe Copy

Pre-written ad text, email copy, or banner headlines supplied by an offer owner for affiliates to reuse as-is or lightly adapt.

Definition

Swipe files bundle ready-made text ads, safelist email copy, and banner taglines so promoters don't have to write from scratch. 'Swiping' it means copying it directly; better practice is adapting it enough to not look identical to every other affiliate's post.

Why it matters to marketers

Swipe copy speeds up getting an offer live across text ad exchanges, safelists, and classified boards, but identical copy posted by dozens of affiliates blends together and gets ignored by regular members of a site. Treat swipe copy as a starting draft, not a final ad, especially on sites where the same offer circulates heavily.
