Today, I'm going to walk you through the process of retrieving an affiliate publisher link in Racketin for various programs. The method remains consistent across different programs within Racketin. This demonstration is being conducted in the Jinx program. If you've ever been asked by a publisher to send them their personal affiliate link, this is the tutorial for you. Once logged in to Racketin, navigate to the "Links" area, then proceed to the "Text Links" section. Here, you will find all the text links created as part of the program. Links with a check mark are public, whereas private links, likely designated for specific individuals, will not have a check box.

Moving forward, it's essential to note that we'll be using Couponology as an example, a coupon partner. You will learn how to extract their affiliate link and make the necessary modifications. The tutorial further highlights the critical components within the link that require adjustment, such as the encrypted ID, offer ID, and offer number. Each of these elements needs to be exchanged to provide the new publisher with their personalized link. Ultimately, I'll guide you on how to obtain the encrypted ID and offer ID for the specific partner before assembling the entire link. This comprehensive process ensures that you provide the accurate and functional affiliate link to the publisher.

To access affiliate publisher links in Racketin, follow these steps. First, log into Racketin and navigate to the "Links" area, then proceed to "Text Links" to view the available text links created as part of the program. All the links with a check mark are public links, while private links, typically personalized for specific publishers, would not have a check mark.

Next, choose the link you want to send to the publisher and copy the link address by right-clicking on it. Paste the copied link into an email or any desired location. Upon pasting, you'll notice that the tracking link appears. However, the default encrypted ID displayed is for the demo Racketin account rather than the specific publisher's account. To rectify this, there are three components of the link that need to be modified to generate the correct affiliate link for the intended publisher.

Firstly, grab the publisher's encrypted ID by navigating to "Publishers" and then "My Publishers." Locate the publisher account and copy the encrypted ID, which will replace the demo account's encrypted ID in the link. Next, determine the offer ID for the specific publisher by identifying the relevant offer and copying its ID. Similarly, replace the generic offer ID in the link with the publisher's offer ID. Finally, update the offer number in the link to correspond with the publisher's details. Once these components are adjusted, the modified link will be the affiliate link specific to the designated publisher. You can then share this link with the publisher via email or any other suitable method for their use.

To modify an affiliate link in Rakuten, you will need to follow several steps. Firstly, when logged into your account, navigate to the "Links" section and then the "Text Links" tab. In this area, you will find a list of created text links. The ones with a check mark are the public links, while private links, which are likely individual affiliate links, won't have a check box.

If you need to generate a specific affiliate link for a publisher, like in the example of Couponology, there are several components within the link that will need to be changed. These include the encrypted ID, the offer ID, and the offer number. To obtain Couponology's encrypted ID, you can find it in the publisher's record in your account. The offer ID can be determined by identifying the specific offer related to Couponology, and the offer number is a component that categorizes the link.

By modifying these components with the correct information for each partner, you can generate a unique affiliate link for each publisher. Once the modifications are made, the resulting link can be sent directly to the publisher through email or used in various marketing materials.

After modifying the affiliate link, it's essential to conduct thorough testing to ensure that it direct users to the appropriate destination and captures the required tracking information accurately. A straightforward way to validate the modified link is by pasting it into a web browser and analyzing the URL parameters. By examining the URL in the browser, you can confirm that the encrypted ID, offer ID, and other tracking parameters have been updated successfully.

Furthermore, you can verify the functionality of the modified link by checking if the site ID corresponds to the encrypted ID of the specific publisher in the tracking link. This step ensures that the link is correctly attributed to the intended publisher within the affiliate program. Additionally, monitoring the behavior of the modified link when clicked will enable you to confirm that it correctly redirects to the designated landing page or website. By conducting these tests, you can guarantee that the modified affiliate link is functioning as intended and is ready for distribution to the respective publisher.

- Conclusion

In conclusion, generating affiliate publisher links in Racketin requires a systematic approach to ensure accuracy and effectiveness. The process involves accessing the links area, locating the relevant text link, and copying the URL. After pasting the link into an email or designated platform, it is essential to modify the encrypted ID, offer ID, and offer number to align with the specific publisher's account.

To customize the link, access the encrypted ID for the specific publisher in the "My Publishers" section. Then, locate the offer ID by checking the details of the partner's offer within the program. Finally, ensure the offer number in the link matches the partner's offer.

Once you've replaced the encrypted ID, offer ID, and offer number, the link is ready for the specific publisher.
