Once you register to an affiliate plan, you will be asked to select an affiliate goods to promote.  Every affiliate merchandise  you will select will provide for you an affiliate link that is particularly your own.  Your affiliate ID will be fixed on this affiliate link.

What is the importance of this affiliate link?

Principally, as an associate your duty will be to advertise the affiliate goods by means of your affiliate link.  Each time anybody ticks on your affiliate link, two things will happen:

1.    He will be directed to the product's selling site; and
