How to create tracking links and deep links
A tracking link is a special web address that tells us a visitor came from you. Every click is recorded and matched to your account, so you earn commission when that visitor completes the action the offer pays for.
Before you start
Your account is approved. You can create links only after we have approved your publisher account.
You are approved for the offer. Apply first if you have not. See How to apply to an offer.
You have read the offer rules. Each offer lists the countries, traffic types and creatives that are allowed.
Create a standard link
Open the offer. Log in, open Offers and select the offer you are approved for.
Choose Get link. The standard link sends visitors to the landing page that the advertiser chose for the offer.
Add a sub-ID if you want one. A sub-ID labels this link in your reports. See How to use sub-IDs.
Copy the link and paste it into your content.
Create a deep link
A deep link sends the visitor straight to a page on the advertiser's website, such as one product or one article, instead of the home page. Visitors who land on the page you described are more likely to act, and your content stays accurate.
Open the offer and choose Get link. Then choose Deep link.
Paste the page address. Copy the full web address of the page from the advertiser's website and paste it in.
Copy the new link and use it where you mention that page.
Deep links work only if the offer allows them, and only for pages on the advertiser's own website. The offer page tells you whether deep links are allowed.
Good habits
Use the link exactly as we generate it. If you shorten, change or rebuild it by hand, clicks may not be tracked.
Place a clear disclosure next to the link. See How to disclose affiliate links in the US and the UK.
Do not click your own link to buy. Self-referral is not allowed, and commission on it is reversed.
Check the offer status now and then. A link to a paused or closed offer does not earn commission.
