How does ClickBank track the sales that an affiliate refers to me?
The affiliate’s HopLink should be set up like this: http://AFFILIATE.vendor.hop.clickbank.net Affiliates replace “AFFILIATE” with their own ClickBank nickname and “vendor” with your ClickBank nickname. When customers click through an affiliate link, they are taken to the URL that you have listed as your “HopLink Target URL” in your ClickBank account. If a customer clicks through an affiliate link and decides to purchase your product from ClickBank, then the affiliate who referred the customer will receive a commission. For example: If the affiliate’s nickname is “EXAMPLE”, and the affiliate wanted to earn commissions by sending customers to the vendor with the nickname “DEMO”, the affiliate HopLink would look like this: http://EXAMPLE.DEMO.hop.clickbank.net Any time a customer clicks through that affiliate HopLink and makes a ClickBank purchase, the affiliate will earn a commission – even up to 60 days later.
