Referring Tips

Setting Up Referral Links

Important: To benefit from your referrals to our site, you must do the following: 

  • You must be registered as an Affiliate Partner.
  • You must have received a unique Affiliate Number. 
    (This number was sent to you via email when you signed up as an affiliate.)
  • You must set up specially designed links containing your unique Affiliate Number.

If you do not have a unique Affiliate Number, then simply go back and sign-up for the program.


Method 1.
Installing simple HREF links:

Use the following URL replacing the words "YourAffiliateIDNumber" with your actual unique Affiliate ID Number. Use this URL as the hyperlink for any text or image. When someone visits our site by clicking this link, the system will associate their visit and their purchases with your Affiliate ID Number and credit your account for 10 percent of the final purchase (less shipping, handling and any taxes collected). You may view your account as often as you wish to track your earnings. Just be sure to write down your password and keep it in a safe place (we do not have a record of it and therefore cannot retrieve it for you).

Here's the URL:
http://www.checksyourway.com/cgi-bin/mcart/ares.cgi?ID=YourAffiliateIDNumber

Here are two examples of how to utilize the URL, with the accompanying HTML code below each example:

Example 1: Click here to place Your Pet Photos on Your Checks

<a HREF="http://www.checksyourway.com/cgi-bin/mcart/ares.cgi?ID=YourAffiliate IDNumber">
Click Here to Place Your Pet Photos on Your Checks</a>

Example 2: Place one or both of these banners on your website:

Banner #1

Place Your Pet Photos on Your Personal Checks at ChecksYourWay.com

Copy and paste the html code into your website and replace, ID=YourAffiliate IDNumber with your ID number.

<a HREF="http://www.checksyourway.com/cgi-bin/mcart/ares.cgi?ID=YourAffiliate IDNumber">
<img border="0" src="http://checksyourway.com/images/affiliate_graphics/affiliate_banner_468x60.jpg" align="top" width="468" height="60"></a>

Banner #2

Place Your Pet Photos on Your Personal Checks at ChecksYourWay.com

Copy and paste the html code into your website and replace, ID=YourAffiliate IDNumber with your ID number.

<a HREF="http://www.checksyourway.com/cgi-bin/mcart/ares.cgi?ID=YourAffiliate IDNumber">
<img border="0" src="http://checksyourway.com/images/affiliate_graphics/affiliate_banner2_468x58.jpg" align="top" width="468" height="58"></a>

Method 2.
Sending links in email correspondence or newsletters:

Include your referral link in email messages, discussion list posts, and newsletters by pasting in the full URL, without any HREF syntax, as you see it below..

http://www.checksyourway.com/cgi-bin/mcart/ares.cgi?ID=YourAffiliate IDNumber

Method 3.
Using a Form POST

Utilize a form to refer visitors to our site.

Your Pet Photos on Your Personal Checks (Replace "YourAffiliate IDNumber" with your own ID number)

<form method="POST" action="http://www.checksyourway.com/cgi-bin/mcart/ares.cgi">
<input type="hidden" name="ID" value="YourAffiliate IDNumber">
<input type="image" src="http://checksyourway.com/image/affiliate_graphics/affiliate_banner_468x60.jpg" 
align="top" width=468 height=60 border=0 alt="Your Pet Photos on Your Personal Checks">
</form>

Technical Specifications

How does it work? The link triggers a cgi program that sets and logs a cookie on the visitor's computer and then redirects them to our website. When the visitor makes a purchase it is credited to your account by the Affiliate IDNumber assigned to your account. 

By default, all click-through visitors enter our Main Page. However, if you want your referrals to enter my site at some location other than my Main Page, let me know. This feature is handy for affiliates who wish to promote specific products, or a particular price page.

When using Method 3, the essential parts of affiliate referral links are the following:

  1. Always use the URL location:
    http://www.checksyourway.com/cgi-bin/mcart/ares.cgi
      
  2. Always POST or GET the variable ID with YourAffiliate IDNumber:
    GET: ?ID=    YourAffiliate IDNumber
    POST: name=ID value=    YourAffiliate IDNumber
