Want to have links that direct to a specific page on or product on your website? We've made it possible for:

  1. You (the Advertiser) to create these links for your affiliates.

  2. Your affiliates to create deep links on their own. 

Below, you will find the guidelines for each of the above options. 

Whether you're running a special promotion or you'd like to drive traffic to specific products on your website, the ability to create additional links for your affiliates always comes in handy!

You can offer your affiliates the possibility to link to specific products, landing pages, offer pages, or other parts of your website than your default landing page URL.

  • To do this, proceed as though you were creating a marketing asset.

  • On your dashboard, click on the 'Assets' tab > Click on 'New' > Select from the drop-down menu the type of asset that will be used to deep link > Fill out other required fields for the asset > Hit 'Create Asset';

  • The newly created links/assets will be automatically shared with your affiliates.

You can create deep links with all asset types.

Affiliates can also create their own deep links. How you deep link, however, depends on the tracking method you are using:

  • Query & Hash: If your affiliate's link appears as follows; https://your-site.com/?ref=nlmjdis29  you can place the referral code part (?ref=nlmjdis29 OR ?a=123-abc&s=bcd-321 ) behind any link of the Advertiser's site to make it trackable: https://your-site.com/product-x?ref=nlmjdis29 

Note: if you are using redirect tracking method, please contact our support chat, as there are changes that might affect you.

P.s. If you're testing out our beta version of the Affiliate Portal you can use the deep-link generator. Read all about it in our article: Affiliate Portal (beta)
