Adding a Link to a Campaign

So we've clicked on our test campaign and now we need to add some links to cloak and track. You'll see a link called Create New Link, click it to add a new link.

Create New Link

We have a pretty big form with lots of fields - looks scary, but it isn't. We only need to fill in the fields with the red * beside them. These fields are required.

The required fields are:

Link Name: This is a very important field. In this field we're naming our link. This is where I typed 'new_niche_product'.

Here's some rules I have to making my link name:

• I always use keywords or words the customer will expect to see

• I try to keep the link name short and sweet, only 4 words or so

• I don't ever use spaces. Use either underscores or hyphens

• I always check my spelling, nothing worse than a misspelled word to look bad to your customer

URL to Track: This is an equally important field. Here's a few rules I have:

• I paste my affiliate link, typing it leads to mistakes most of the time

• I TRIPLE check it for accuracy!

• The link has to have the http:// in front of it
  

If you put in your affiliate link and it's WRONG, you won't get a commission. Very bad!

I ignore the other fields on this page because I'm a newb, or I just want to track this link for an article, blog or forum post - nothing else.

I click the Save Changes to create my link, and we're done!
