Supported Affiliate Link Formats
Affiliate Manager supports a number of different affiliate link formats:
Default Affiliate Link
The default affiliate link comes in the format:
http://www.yourdomain.com/affiliates/username
This link type redirects to any URL page that you set in your default program.
Replicated Affiliate Link
Replicated Affiliate Links come in the format:
http://www.yourdomain.com/affiliates/reps/username
Replicated links are redirected to the default replication template once you enable replication in the admin area.
Dynamic Subdomain Link
Dynamic subdomain affiliate links take the format:
http://username.yourdomain.com
This type of link does not redirect to any page and stays on your website's home page (index.php)

Remote Domain Links
Affiliate Manager allows you to set-up advanced affiliate link types through remote domain links. A Remote Domain Link can be formatted with your remote domain name. Some examples would be:
- http://www.remotedomain.com/username
- http://www.remotedomain.com/track.php?id=username
This format requires advanced configuration on your remote domain name for this type of link to work.
