Ok, I have signed up for a couple affiliate program providers. Now I have a bunch of question. First, how do I put these ads on my site? Some of them require zip code or email address... Do I have to code this and pass it to them or just put the link on my sites? Thanks for any advice.
Most decent programs give banners, banner code, URL's, and text links all with your affiliate code in them. If you don't have that, you might not being dealing with very good companies, IMO.
Hey cgchris99, Simply choose the banner or text (depending on preference) and you will usually be prompted to deploy the creative. When the creative is deployed it should generate a unique piece of linking code that contains all of your affiliate information. Place that link and the creative code in your desired locations. You shouldn't have to code any of them to pass your information. You should be able to just place the link on your site. If you have questions you can call at 303-920-7937.

The link code that you place on your site will direct traffic to a product landing page already. You will not need to create a landing page for the campaign. However, depending on the design or layout of that products landing page may determine if you really want to promote it. Let me know if you have questions. Shane CPA Empire.
