Nice post. I appreciate you sharing this. This easy implementation will allow affiliates to have links on their page that go directly to a product rather than just a home page.

The limitation is that only the common commission will apply to all products and affilliates.

It would be useful to have different commission levels based on monthly affiliate sales. For example

Monthly Sales Range Commission
$0-$1000 10%
$1000-$5000 13%
$5000-$10,000 16%

This would further encourage affiliates to push your product.

E-Junkies affiliate program is lacking features. I don't think many people use it or else we would see some improvements and new features. It would make sense to me if there was a settings page for each affiliate where we could go in and assign different commissions for each product or maybe a custom commission structure as described above. It's a chicken and egg problem. E-Junkie won't invest in improvements if people aren't using it, however, more people may use it if the program was intuitive and feature packed.

Anyways, thanks again CJ! Very useful.]]> E-junkie Discussions; mkp007 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3796/pg/0#post15864 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3796/pg/0#post15864 Fri, 10 Sep 2010 17:01:54 GMT
The following is a write-up of my usage of the E-Junkie Common Affiliate Program. I too wanted to give my affiliates the ability to hop to any page on my site using the Common Affiliate Program and still place the affiliate cookie. Toward the end of the write-up is where I describe how to use custom query string values to accommodate multiple URLs for the Common Affiliate Program. The write-up details how it works and shows the code (JavaScript, in this case) that makes it work. Hopefully this is still useful/relevant to this thread.

If you haven't found it yet, you'll probably appreciate this help page explaining our affiliate system and settings:

We also have a help page for affiliates, explaining our affiliate system and how to use it from their perspective:

However, you could hire a developer to program some custom scripting at your end that could accomplish this. Any extra parameters added to an affiliate link URL that our system doesn't recognize will be passed along to your landing page URL, so e.g. if an affiliate makes their Common Hop Link URL look like this:

https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?cl=40815&c=ib&aff=20545&this=that

...the buyer would be redirected to your landing page URL looking like this:

http://www.yoursite.com/landingpage.php?this=that

Notice how the this=that parameter was retained? Then your landing page could have some custom scripting that looks for those and instantly re-redirects the buyer to a certain other page accordingly. E.g. if the script finds this=that it would send the buyer one place, or this=other would take them some other place, etc., and finding no extra parameter could simply leave the buyer at your standard landing page.

We can recommend some competent, E-junkie-experienced developers in our directory here:

I guess I'm still not being very clear with my question, though. Let me see if I can ask it a different way:

With 1shoppingcart, you can turn any url into an affiliate link by using this formula:

[your affiliate link]&u=[link you want to make a custom link]

Does e-junkie have anything like that?

Or, are you limited to specifying page urls in the common link or product specific links.

Thanks!]]> E-junkie Discussions; shannon http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3796/pg/0#post15864 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3796/pg/0#post15864 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 17:55:38 GMT E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieNinja http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3796/pg/0#post15864 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3796/pg/0#post15864 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 15:07:16 GMT
Thanks for your response. It looks like I didn't do a very good job of asking my question though!

So I understand about the Common Hop Link that allows affiliates to refer buyers to any page I specify on my site, and Product-Specific Hop Links that allow affiliates to refer buyers to a purchase page for a particular product.

What I'm wondering, is if there is any other way to create a Hop Link? Such as a Hop Link that directs a buyer to a blog post, sets the cookie for any purchases before expiring. In essence, a way to create a Hop Link that could link to any particular page on my website permanently (i.e. not changing the Common Hop Link).

I hope that makes sense!

Thanks,

You can configure a Common Hop Link (in Seller Admin > Affiliate Program Settings) that would give your affiliates one, easy link to obtain for referring buyers to your site. For your Common Hop Link URL "landing page", you can specify any page at all really, not necessarily one where you're using E-junkie buttons. Most merchants simply make this their site's homepage or main "online store entrance" page.

You can also/instead configure Product-Specific Hop Links (Admin > Product-specific Affiliate Program Settings) if you want your affiliates to obtain a Hop Link for a particular product that redirects buyers to your purchase page for that exact product.]]> E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieGuru http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3796/pg/0#post15864 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3796/pg/0#post15864 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 23:52:24 GMT
I would like to make sure that affiliates get credit for any future purchases from referrals they make to free downloads I have on my sites. Those downloads aren't products for sale on e-junkie, so I can't create a direct hoplink for them.

Looks like I could have one of those pages as the common hoplink, but I'd like to have more.

Is there anyway to generate an affiliate link to a page (other than through the common hoplink) that doesn't have a product for sale through E-Junkie?

Thanks for any help.
