It’s easy. Login to our affiliates area and go to our affiliate section. You choose the type of link you want and our site will generate the HTML (you don’t even need to copy the images to your site). Then you can just copy
and paste the code into your site pages.
How can I check that my links are working properly?
You should always test your links after you place them on your site. It may seem like a very basic suggestion, but you would be surprised at how many people upload linking code that is accidentally corrupted.
To ensure that your affiliate links to CheapDemos.com are working properly, go ahead and click through some of your links. Make sure that the links go to the intended destinations and the URL. After you click through the link, the URL on the CheapDemos.com site should look like this:
http://www.CheapDemos.com/demo-cart/index.php?ref=XXX&affiliate_banner_id=4
note:XXX is your affiliate id.
To double check, give the system one day for the clicks to register to your account and then log into the affiliate section and then click on "Clickthrough Report". If your links are working properly, you will see the clicks recorded in the report. If you are still unsure whether your links are functional, e-mail us at affiliates@CheapDemos.com and we will take a look.
How do I know if I have made any sales?
We track your sales in real time. You will always have access to updated statistics on your traffic and sales.
How does CheapDemos.com track sales from my website?
We track sales coming from your website using the unique “Affiliate ID” in your links. Based on the “Affiliate ID” number in the link, we can identify each visitor that comes from your website and credit your sales and traffic accordingly.
If someone clicks on a particular item link and then purchases a different item(s), does the commission still apply?
Yes! You get paid the same commission rate on all of your sales regardless of how you link to us or what the customer buys. You earn commission on all sales generated from your affilaite links.
