An affiliate link is a link to the advertiser website; it contains a unique identifier that indicates what publisher led a user to the website.
You need to deploy an affiliate link in your ad space. If a user follows it, lands on the advertiser website, and performs a target action there, you will get paid for that action.
To get an affiliate link, you have to join an affiliate program. How to join an affiliate program
Types of affiliate links: a standard link and a deeplink
There are two types of affiliate links:
- Standard affiliate link. Leads to the advertiser website's main page. A standard affiliate link is created automatically once you join a program. How to get a standard link
- Deeplink. Leads to a specific page on the advertiser website (e.g. a product/category/brand page). Deeplinks are created by publishers. How to get a deeplink
What type of affiliate link to use
We recommend that you use deeplinks. Statistics show that users perform target actions more often after they follow a deeplink more than a standard affiliate link.
Why we recommend deeplinks. If you use a deeplink, a user doesn't have to find a product you promote on the website or choose from a multitude of offers. Instead, they land straight on the page of the product you advertise, so it's easy for them to perform the action you expect from them.
Some programs do not support deeplink. If so, you can only use a standard affiliate link. How to find programs that support deeplinks
