please help! I am sending traffic to ebay right now but it is not being tracked by CJ. I have a question on where to get some information for a direct product link: here is what i got: http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=< Your CJPID> &mpre= <YourURL> Where do i get bolded variables from? 1. the numbers between the slashse 2. the AID
Hi there, PID is under 'website settings' in your CJ account. h ttp://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=xxxxxxx&SID=xxxxxxx&mpre=http://...url of ebay item Note you can also use SID for tracking at CJ, just put a string (up to 64 characters if my memory is working!). The link you are using is the Rover link for eBay.com. The AID in the link you posted and the other bolded part will stay the same, it's the PID that will identify your referrals as that is unique to the 'website' in your CJ settings. You may only have one website, in which case there will be just one PID in your account. Hope that helps. Ian
AID=Advertiser ID (I think ) So that will always stay the same for any ebay affiliate link. I am not sure what the other set of numbers is, but I think they are constant also. If you are getting links through CJ, you might also try the tools at ebay right here: http://affiliates.ebay.com/ns/Tools.htm Use the "Flexible Destination Tool" for a picture perfect affiliate link to any page on ebay
Sorry bad choice of words , I should have said 'You might only have one website, in which case there will be just one PID in your account.' If you are new to CJ then you probably will only have one PID set up but can of course have several. Ian
The first set of numbers has to do with the ad (or link) used I believe as those numbers don't stay the same between different creatives.
