Can someone please answer a question for me in regards to Clickbank tracking ID's when they're being used with a domain redirect? I have purchased a domain from GoDaddy for each of my Clickbank products that I use just for the purpose cloaking my affiliate links. (I have an HTML website and can't use PHP) My domain (XYZPRODUCT.COM) redirects to my affiliate link (MYID.PUBID.HOP.CLICKBANK.NET) My question is this - If I want to place a tracking ID on my affiliate link, do I have to purchase a separate domain for each individual tracking ID or can I place the links on my site like this: XYZPRODUCT.COM/?tid=XYZ1 (The redirect at GoDaddy would just be my hoplink without a tracking ID) I tested a link this way and it worked -- went through to the publisher's page, then to the order page, and the order page displayed my Clickbank ID with the tracking ID on it. It appears to work, but I want to make sure that I'm not messing up the tracking so that I don't get credit for the sale. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I don't believe XYZPRODUCT.COM/?tid=XYZ1 would work the way it is. You can simply make it work, with a simple php code, that will just append ?tid=ABC to the hoplink, it's like 2-3 lines of php code to make that work.
Hi, Thanks for the reply. Actually I did a link that way and the link worked and it shows my Clickbank ID with the TID on the order page. Was just unsure whether it might mess up the tracking somehow where I wouldn't get credit for the sale. I'm unable to use PHP on my website, which is why I'm using the domain redirects. I probably should just contact Clickbank and ask them directly. Just takes so long to get a response from them and I wanted to do some work on my sites today.
