Affiliate plugin – building links within creatives

[tracieaffiliate]

Hi, I have a question about using the creatives section. Most of my affiliates will be interested in creating and using mass emails to send to their current clients, so I need to create emails with links already built into them to make it as easy as possible for them. I understand how to build in their individual affiliate IDs, however I want to link that to, for example, the word “here” so their entire affiliate ID will not display in the email (and I don’t want them to have to create links to the word “here” in the emails they create). I had a coder place this into the creative: here, which should have turned the word “here” into a link, but does not when I log in as a “dummy” affiliate. Is the creative not meant for this purpose, because no matter what we try we can’t get it to build any other link into it other than replacing the “xxxx” with the affiliate (which doesn’t help us much and makes the affiliates have to do more work than I would like them to).

Thanks for any help you can provide.

You don’t need any developer to add any links. The creative section can accept HTML code. So you should be able to do what you are after just by inserting the desired HTML code in there.

Create a creative now and enter something like the following in there and you will see how it works. Your affiliate will be able to copy this HTML code and use it.

Here is just a test < a href="http://www.your-domain.com/?ap_id=XXXX">link

Remember, it will give your affiliates this HTML code (after replacing with their ID) so it can be used. You can’t copy already rendered HTML code. So the plugin (just like any affiliate system) gives the raw HTML code to the affiliates. When your affiliates enter this code in their site it will be rendered correctly in the browser.
