I am consulting for a merchant who has signed up with CJ. I am looking for an affiliate network that can handle crediting affiliates and making payments, etc. but allow the affiliate links to come in via a direct link to the merchant's domain. In other words, any redirect or affiliate network processing will occur after the customer connects to the merchant domain (e.g. http://www.merchant.com/aff?id=1234). Does anyone know of an affiliate network that allows this either as a standard service or some special service? (I prefer not to discuss why we need the direct link with an affiliate code. It has to do with the way this industry is promoted and the types of affiliates we want to target.) I suppose it is possible to setup a 2-step redirect but that may be against CJ (or other network) TOS since we are bypassing them on the first link, i.e. http://mechant.com/aff?id=1234 redirects to http://www.jdoqocy.com/whatever (this is a CJ link) redirects to http://merchant.com/productpage Feel free to PM to discuss specifics if you do not want to post on forum. Thanks.
There's over 100 Affiliate Networks on the site in my sig where a few may offer it, but truthfully I have not seen it, but then again I have not taken any notice of direct linking verses non direct. As long as the referral links work, that's all I've been interested in.
