Keep in mind that this article is about the affiliate program you set for your own web hosting company, if you are looking for directions on how to use our affiliate program, you can check:
As with every affiliate program, the sales made through affiliates are linked to a unique affiliate ID (aid=youruniquecode). This ID is part of each and every affiliate text link or banner that the affiliates are using.
The cookies that are used are long-lasting. Therefore, in case an affiliate of yours refers a client to your white-label hosting reseller store, and the end user chooses not to make a purchase nor sign up for free service right away, should this user return and/or upgrade the service they are using, the affiliate will still be credited with the commission for the referral.
Also, you can use IP tracking. That will help you enhance the affiliate tracking further.
