Hello,

I see that the affiliate link is the addition of a parameter (i.e. ?atid=1) to the homepage url, e.g. http://www.mysite.com/?atid=1
Does this mean that my affiliates could promote a specific sub-page of the website directly by taking the url and adding their parameter to the end? E.g., if their unique link is http://www.mysite.com/?atid=1, and they want to promote this page: http://www.mysite.com/our-services/this-service, can they post their affiliate link as http://www.mysite.com/our-services/this-service?atid=1 (with or without the final slash)?

I am asking because it would be useful for users to be able to point to a specific interesting or useful page directly (relevant to their post) instead of sending everyone to the homepage with their link. Can this be done already by users WITHOUT creating a "referral word" by simply adding their parameter to the url of an interesting sub-page of the same website? If yes, should they do it with or without the final slash before the question mark? My site does NOT add final slashes.

Thank you for the information

    I see that my final link above did not work like the first ones (with the parameter hyperlinked). If the above can work as mentioned, could you please let me know how to avoid having the parameter cut off from the hyperlink as happened with the last link above? Is it a final slash issue maybe?

    Hello,

    This is just the editor here in this forum that is leaving the ?atid part out of the hiperlink. Don't click on it, in any case, copy/paste it to your browser.

    The complete link will work on any website. Moreover, it will work with or without the final slash, but the proper way to use it is without it.

    Regards,
    Joan

    Ok, so if i got this right, the affiliates can actually add their parameter to any of my website urls, and it will still work as an affiliate link, correct? It does NOT have to be added as a "referral word", correct?
