Standard affiliate links
Affiliates are provided an affiliate link that looks similar to:
https://www.example.com/ ?afmc=399
The ?afmc= is the base of the LeadDyno tracking and cannot be removed or edited. The numbers/letters after ?afmc= , which in the example above is 399 , is the tracking code specific to the affiliate. This code can be edited by the merchant or affiliate (if permitted by the merchant). See our guide to affiliate codes for more information. An example of a custom affiliate code is below:
https://www.example.com/ ?afmc=yourcode
Affiliates may take the portion of their link such as ?afmc=399 and append to the other pages of the website similar to:
https://www.example.com/landing-page ?afmc=yourcode
