How to create a link to a specific TechTamers page

By Jeanette | July 5, 2009

WARNING: This is an advanced topic – and not one you need to use early in your affiliate marketing career. So don’t stress if you don’t immediately see the need for or understand this process.

Sometimes you want to send people to a specific page in a website, rather than to the optin page or the sales page. In this rare case you need to “construct” a URL using the u parameter provided by 1ShoppingCart.

For this process you will use your basics URL, not one of the custom URLs from a specific site. Your basic URL looks like this:

http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/aftrack.asp?AFID=28673 (this is not your # – use yours)

now add the u parameter to it, along with the URL of the destination URL. So to send your traffic to a free video on creating a simple business plan, you first grab the URL of the page where you want them to land:

http://www.organizeyouronlinebusiness.com/business_plan/

Now you put the &u= in front of the URL – without the http://

&u=www.organizeyouronlinebusiness.com/business_plan/

Now tack all of that onto your basic affiliate link.So the full URL would look like this:

http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/aftrack.asp?AFID=28673&u=www.organizeyouronlinebusiness.com/business_plan/

Note that in an email this will wrap – so many people will not be able to click on it. You definitely want to use a redirect or cloaked page if you create these long URLs.
This same technique works if you find a TechTamers product that we haven’t yet created a custom URL for. For example, if you wanted to send someone to your affiliate link for the Online Success Explained, your link would be

http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/aftrack.asp?AFID=28673&u=www.OnlineSuccessExplained.com
