Affiliate programs on multiple sites

[natgordon]

Hi,



I am running into a problem with setting up an affiliate account for a new site that I launched.



Briefly, I have been selling an eBook on one site for the past several months and used the Common Hop Link URL to send people from an affiliate's site to my eBook site.



Yesterday I launched a new site that sells custom banner ads (33banners.com), and want to create an affiliate program for this site (there are around 20 different products sold on the site and that number will increase over time). I would like to use the Common Hop Link URL so that anyone who clicks an affiliate link will end up on the new site. But, this means that all my current affiliates (there are more than 10) who have established links to my eBook site will no longer be directing traffic there.



I really don't want to make them all change the link to a product specific program. Is there any way to set up my second affiliate program that can contain multiple products, but not use the Common Hop Link URL?



Any help would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks,

August

To have the buyers directed to a different site, you would need to use the product specific affiliate system. You will only need to setup one product with a product specific link and have the link go to the main page of your second site. Affiliates will still earn commission on all sales, unless you set one of the product specific affiliate percentages to 0%, otherwise they will earn the percentage you setup in the general affiliate program.

Thanks, but won't the other products on the site NOT be considered part of the affiliate program?

As long as you have a general affiliate program setup in your account they will be.
