    I was trying to figure out if I would be able to create affilaite links for my merchant's product links without using CJ.

    xxxxxxx = your CJ identifier
    yyyyyyyy = i think this is the merchants identifier (?)

    I wonder if you could just take the link in blue and pre-append that to any product specific link from one of my merchant's sites as listed in red?

    Does this sound feasible? Anyway to test? Thanks...

    Some sites offer deep links and some don't. You can't just do it yourself.

    xxxxxx is your PID; is the identification if you web site. you have one PID for each web site that you have setup on your account.

    yyyyyyy is the AID and is one different for each text or banner that the advertise has.


    This only works if the advertise has it enabled.

    to test if an advertise has it enabled select a single text link and click advanced options to see if a alternative destination ULD box appears there. If there is a alternative destination URL, means that you can use the ?url tag (only about 5% of advertises has it enabled).

    A workaround is to test all different AID for that advertises to see the different destination URL for each AID.
