Tracking

There are two ways you can ensure that we accurately track referrals that you send to the site.

(1) Tracking IDs

The first is to use the Referral URL generator. Put the URL in for the product you want to promote and you will see the correct URL to use appear underneath:

Affiliate link

The format for an affiliate link is always /ref/AFFILIATEIDNUMBER/

‘Campaign name’ is optional – you can use this for your own tracking purposes, if you want to (as this will be reported in the ‘referring URL’ section of your affiliate area).

(2) Direct linking

Alternatively, click ‘Direct Links’ and add your websites here. We will review your websites and if they are approved, you can simply link directly to any of our products without needing to generate a special tracking ID.

How does this work? When a visitor clicks the link on the affiliate’s website and arrives on our site, the domain is looked up in the database. If the domain belongs to an affiliate, that affiliate’s ID is stored in the browser’s cookies, just like a normal affiliate link.

Performance

You can get detailed feedback on your performance on the ‘Statistics’, ‘Graphs’ and ‘Visits’ tabs of the Affiliate area.

Referrals

You can see payments due to you (i.e. successful referrals) in the Referrals section of the Affiliate area. Please note that these will be reviewed before they are paid out, to ensure they meet our terms. If any referral breaches our terms, it may be removed.

Payouts

This shows money we have paid out to you.

Notifications

Under the ‘Settings’ tab you can turn on and off notifications for new referrals.
