Thank you. Please don’t think that I’m a pest, but I have to get this right and really understand the program if I am going to get other affiliates started. I’ve gone through the information , now a few more questions.
# 1. I log in, go to affiliates tab and then the Market place tab.
# 2. I then go to products, ( at # 6 ) I clicked on promote for the Cisco Router keys, then I go to my campaign links.
# 3. Your Affiliate Link:
http://xxxxxx.keyitconsultingcis3.click2sell.eu
WHAT IS THIS LINK USED FOR ?# 4. Affiliate link ( directly to product’ check out page ) ;
http://xxxxxx.keyitconsultingcis3.click2sell.eu/?checkout
WHAT IS THIS LINK USED FOR ?# 5 The html format is for banner ads – right ?
# 6. Promote C2S goes to TOOLS
“http://xxxxxx.join.click2sell.eu” sign up
I’VE KNOWN SOME ADVERTISING COMPANIES THAT DO NOT
USE THE ” HREF ” IN THEIR LINKS, BUT ONLY THE “HTTP” WILL
THIS INTERFERE WITH THE AD AT ALL.# 7. I guess this link that had the “sign up ” within it is the one used for the ads I will be placing to have other affiliates join Click2Sell right ?
Thanks for your help, I hope this makes more sense now.

Dear Urszula,
Thank you for your questions concerning advertising affiliate links correctly. I would like to explain everything for you and answer all your questions one by one:
3) Your affiliate link: yes, the link is correct. This link should be used on ADS to promote the products from Click2Sell.EU Marketplace. Please, visit this link yourself – as you can see this is your own unique affiliate link to drive visitors to the promoted product’s sales page. All you have to do is to promote this link and if your referred visitor makes a purchase then you will earn an affiliate commission which will be paid to you.
4) This is a direct affiliate link to checkout page. We have made an additional ?checkout string so affiliates could drive visitors right into the product’s checkout page bypassing the merchant’s provided sales page. This link should be used by affiliates who intend to create their own landing sales pages and for those who want to bypass the merchant’s website. This way you can create your own affiliated product’s sales page, tweak it according to your needs and place a link to ?checkout. If a visitor to your website buys the product, you will get an affiliate commission. More information about this feature you can read in Click2Sell Blog post New Click2Sell feature: Checkout page skip.
5) Html format is for banner ads that should be placed on the website, etc.
6) This link is to promote Click2Sell.EU Referral program. It is different than your affiliate links. Affiliate links are used to drive visitors to affiliated product’s sales pages and make sales in order to earn affiliate commissions. Click2Sell Referral program link (this one) is the link to drive people to Click2Sell.EU website to signup on our system. You will be able to earn money also by referring people.
7) This html code with “a href” link should be used on a website or etc. This is a html code. If you plan to use this link on your ads then in most cases you won’t need that a href link. Just place a simple http:// link.
Sincerely,
Egidijus
