Linking to an affiliates home page

    I am trying to setup functionality like on SchoolPop where I have a menu that provides links to each affiliate's homepage. When I look in the "Get Links" section of CJ it seems filled with all these very specific links to particular deals and products. I'm looking for some simple solution that allows me to simply link my users to something like borders.com?pid=12345&sid=54321 and that would take you to the Borders homepage and allow users to shop and transactions to be tracked. Could someone please help me understand this better? I just find myself going in circles in the "get links" section not finding the answer.

    from the CJ home/login page got to the My Advertisers scroll bar on the bottom left side of the page.

    choose your advertiser and click go

    click Keyword Link middle right hand side of page

    click Get html

    you then end uo with something like http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-2723827-10413033

    this will take you to the advertsers home page and drop your cookie - is this what you were after?

    That link does look like the sort of link I'm after. It did require me to turn on "search terms" in my CJ account settings as a way my site is positioned (my site is actually classified as a "Loyalty Site"). Thanks.

    You can use a PHP script or HTACCESS to make the links look nicer, but you have to check with each advertiser to be sure they allow changes to the link, or you may not get the commission.
