    I like EE so much I just signed up for the affiliate deal 😊

    Anyway, I was wondering if you guys use referer-checking matched up against the affiliate-url I entered to log sales.

    I’m asking because I have multiple domains but I could only enter one, and I would like to promote EE on several of them.

    Thanks,
    Bjørn

    What do you mean? All you need to do is use the URL containing your affiliate id.

    Ok, that was what I was wondering about.

    Some affiliate programs check the referrer of the incoming traffic and discount that which does not come from a ‘valid source’ (e.g. the affiliate url one has entered in ones profile).

    Thanks 😊

    Please note the important notes located at the bottom of this page, in particular the one about placing your affiliate link only on sites owned by yourself.

    Thank you.
