This article explains how to get started with Campaigns as an affiliate with a “one-click” style landing page. Just follow these steps and you’ll be good to go …


Step 1 – Add your Click Tracking Code to your Landing Page.

Next, select your affiliate network from the menu, paste your affiliate link into the edit box, set Tracking Type to Campaigns and click on the “Update My Affiliate Link” button.

 

 
Finally, take the modified affiliate link and use it for all the links on your landing page.
 
 
Step 3 – Add Your Postback URL to Your Affiliate Account

To make sure that your affiliate sales get tracked inside of ClickMagick, you’ll need to add your Postback URL to your Affiliate Account.

To do this, just go to the Postback URL Tool which you can find in the Tools menu under the subheading “Postback URLs”. Type in the name of your network and click on the copy button next to the network that you’re using:

 

 
The Postback URLs in your account will be different from what you see in the screenshot above, so copy the URL that you see listed in your account for the network you are using.
