Affiliate HTML Explained
Creating HTML consists of a simple hyperlink which
points from your web site to ours. The construction the
hyperlink is very simple and can be explained briefly. In our
explanation we'll use an example.
Example: Joe has just
signed up as an Affiliate with an
Affiliate ID of 432143214321. He has a 10% maximum
discount and wants to give his web site visitors a 2% discount (giving
him a 8% commission for any sales that may occur). The web
content when he finishes will look like this:
Click here to buy 'Diff Doc', the comprehensive
Document Comparison tool from SoftInterface with a 2% Discount.
The html used to create the link above looks like
this:
<a href="http://www.softinterface.com/R.ASP?CouponCode=43214321432102">
Click here to buy 'Diff Doc', the comprehensive Document Comparison
tool from SoftInterface with a 2% Discount.
</a>
Notice there are 3 critical pieces of the HTML shown
above that must be included.
1. The initial <a> and ending </a>
hyperlink tags. These tell the browser to jump to href when
clicked on.
2. The href parameter must point to
http://www.softinterface.com/R.ASP?CouponCode=AffiliateID[DiscountAmount]
Where AffiliateID is the AffiliateID
given to you after signing up as an Affiliate, and the
DiscountAmount is how much of a discount you wish to give
the potential customer.
REMEMBER: How much commission you earn depends you
earn on what discount you give your web site visitors. As an
affiliate, you are given a specific 'Maximum Discount Rate' when you
first sign up (check your email). You can give customers anywhere from
0 to the maximum discount rate. Whatever discount you give your
customers, will be taken out of your commission.
3. The Descriptive text, promoting the
product. Use whatever you think will help sell the product(s).
