How can you tell that orders came from my site? |
| |
When you use links created by our Affiliate Program they contain a unique identifier. Every time that a user comes to The Boating Bible Manual of Seamanship via your website, our monitoring system automatically credits you when they make a purchase. That is why it is extremely important that you use links using the Affiliate Tools in your affiliate account and/or your default affiliate link provided in your affiliate acceptance email. |
