You should place links where they are easy for your site visitors to find, such as your home page.

All links from your site or Affiliate StoreFront to our site contain a unique identifier so that every time a user comes to us via your site or StoreFront, we know to credit you when a purchase is made. This is only possible, though, when you create all of your links with the approved logos we provide in our Affiliate Toolkit.
-
How often can I run reports?
You can run reports daily if you wish. Your customized Affiliate Toolkit site is updated daily with the latest information about your site.
