Create an affiliate link

This post explains how to create affiliate links (also called "hop links").

A hop link is a tracking URL. This URL redirects a user to a vendor's sales page. The link is used to track when the affiliate makes a successful purchase. AffiliCon then calculates the commission for vendor and affiliate on a pro-rata basis.

If you are an affiliate yourself and would like to promote products, you can find out how to create your own affiliate link on this page (click here).
