Understanding affiliate links
I don't get this exactly. In course 3 lesson 4 it has this:
So it says that's my affiliate link. But in the video on this page, Kyle shows how to add an affiliate link from Amazon and doesn't refer to the above section at all. Am I to manually add the "?a_id..." manually at the end of the (seller company) link? Example:
Here's the affiliate link as is:
https://www.chewy.com/kong-cla...
Should it be https://www.chewy.com/kong-cla...?a_id=vakj1tbk - ??

Hi John. Each affiliate program will have their own unique set of affiliate links for you to use. The link you mentioned above in the screenshot is your Wealthy Affiliate affiliate link. That link will only give you credit for referrals made to WA. You don't need to add your WA affiliate id to any other affiliate links not related to the WA affiliate program. You won't get credit for any amazon or other affiliate program sales through your WA affiliate link...they're different programs with different affiliate links. Amazon, for example, has its own affiliate link generator. When you sign up for Amazon Associates, you can search various products there and generate affiliate links by clicking "Get Link":
Thank you, Matt. I understand now. I think all my affiliate links are set up. Also, I took your advice and took the WA link out of my banner and just dedicated one page to it. I hope that'll help. :)

No- don't mix affiliate links. Your affiliate link here is only for promoting Wealthy Affiliate. Your amazon affiliate link is only for your Amazon products.
