How to Properly Find your Affiliate Link with the Correct URL

I saw Kyle mentioning on someone else's blog that the affiliate link URL that we have used is not the correct URL that is on our dollar sign icon.

Enclosed are Screenshots Explaining what I noticed.

Step 1: Go here to the circle dollar sign- click $

Step 2: You see your affiliate link below. Learn More- You click Copy



Screenshot 2 Image: Your Affiliate link with mine blacked lined out for privacy and not allow the affiliate link to be shown on WA Blog-

Step 3: I clicked Copied



Screenshot 3 Image: Your Affiliate link mine blackened again.

Step 4: Now, I can paste the link into my Chrome Browser.



Screenshot 4 Image: URL coped in browser blacklined my affiliate id

Did anyone notice the difference?

See Screenshot 5 Image here:

Kyle told the other member the correct URL was without the ? mark to make sure we properly get credit for our referrals.

I did not spell out the full URL. The screenshot 5 already shows it.

affilate.com?/a_aid=your affiliate id number will not work if you use it on YouTube or other links.

The correct way to link is this:

affiliate.com/a_aid/youraffiliateidnumber

We can see in the Step 4 screenshot in the browser- there is no ? mark listed there, so that is why some people have their affiliate link URL, not in the correct format.

I wanted to give everybody the heads up on how to format your URL correctly so you can get credit for the referrals.

I did notice it changed automatically in my browser; however, for some embedded links, it might not work.

I recommend that you all follow the correct link to your affiliate ID without the question mark format. See Screenshot 5 image, the correct URL.

This must be the new thing interface. I was not aware of this change until Kyle mentioned it. The URL looks clean like a permalink, and it's so simple and easy to link your affiliate id.

Let me know if this is correct, Kyle or Carson.

Will that ...affiliate.com?/a_aid=affiliateid link still work versus the newer way without the question mark?
