Getting Another Affiliated Approved

Hi All, Well, I got my first retailer to approve my affiliation with them. It is really cool. I decided what my niche is going to be - retailers where you can save money - resale, discounted retailers, etc. I rarely pay the full price on anything, unless I know it's a good deal. I love to shop at resale shops; most of my house is decorated from Rags to Riches (now called Something Special). We have a lot of wealthy people that live where I live (I'm not one of them) and the stuff they give away is like brand new. And, all the profits go to the local Women's Shelter. I go to the clearance section in the grocery store and stock up on their deals (I have two freezers full of frozen food). The butcher even says that's what he does and there's nothing wrong with the meat. Nobody has gotten sick on my cooking yet; they all say how good it is.

Anyway, I stumbled across this retailer that just took my breath away. I wish I could share it with everybody, but I guess we can't do that. I was just reading the rules with WA and I don't know if I read it correctly or not, but we are not supposed to put our affiliate links on these blogs. Correct? Is there anyplace in WA where we can share our website information? I am confused on this. I am also confused as to how the affiliates know that people are buying on our website. I've just been copying and pasting the link url onto my website with no direction pointing to my id number. I'd appreciate any clarity on this. Also, is this the place that I should be asking this question or should I have typed a question in at the top of the page? So confusing. Thanks all.

BTW - I broke 400. Don't know how. I haven't been doing much interaction lately; trying to get some lessons done (got 3 yesterday). Still have 350 emails I haven't looked at. Sorry folks.
