Deep Links & Affiliating

Often times becoming an affiliate for a program will be ho-hum. As in, we like a certain product for a program, but the basic creative they provide only links to the programs homepage and not to the product in question. There is a fix to this and it is called 'Deep Linking'.

Deep Linking is not allowed by all Affiliate Programs, but they can prove a valuable tool so that you can gear your visitors directly to product you know they will be most interested in. Often times Deep Linking is as simple as adding the page url you want after the affiliate url, ie. &url=.

Just a reminder, make sure that the program that your affiliating for allows deep links, otherwise you may just be losing credit for your sales.
