Affiliate code: Noob Question

corgi · 06-09-2009, 09:03 PM

Hi,

I'm new to affiliate marketing; but not the web nor CPC/PPC ads.

I'd like to finally step into affiliate marketing by adding a banner on my existing site properties.

I understand on how to insert the given Code, but what's the Tracking Link for - where does that go, or do?

Let me know, thanks

Tracking Link?
Could it be something to bookmark, which sends you to your affiliate companies' website to give you data related to your banner clicks?

Not sure what you're talking about - can you give us an example?

Usually there's some kind of tracking code in the affiliate link - like a 1 pixel image - that keeps track of the number of ad impressions (which will show up on your reports). Or are you referring to a string of characters YOU add to differentiate between instances of the ad in different parts of your site?

When you sign up to be an affiliate for the offer, they give you the actual banner code to insert on your site, copy/paste - like Adsense.

But there's also a link - like http://www.affiliateoffer.com/fdfdsjfhjk1.45454
What's this for?

Based on the info given, I'm sticking with this answer:
