The control panel provides all the resources to manage your links/banners, it also gives you detailed report on the commissions you earned.

In this control panel, you can see how much commissions you have earned, how you are going to be paid.

Get banners and links

Click promotion link on the menu, then click on Banners and Links link:

Affiliate.banners.and.links.jpg


In this page, you have access to all of your unique banners and links provided by us. In this tutorial, I am going to show you a text link.

Scroll down to the page, find the product you want to promote:


Affiliate.text.links.jpg


Let's say you want to put a text link of our XBOX 360 Connectivity V3 and USB Liteon Key Extractor Combo on your website or blog. You first click Click here to find out more about this to see if it is the product you want to promote.

Once you verified, you can click Get Banner Code button to generate the HTML code so you can place it on your website or blog:

Affiliate.text.links.code.jpg

You will see the unique code is generated for you. Highlight it and copy it to your clipboard, so you can add it on your website or blog.

This is code:

<a href="http://www.diygadget.com/sales-test-1a40e16c.html" target="_top">
<strong>Click here</strong><br/>to find out more about this
</a>
<img style="border:0" src="http://www.tiaowiki.com/ar/scripts/imp.php?a_aid=test&a_bid=1a40e16c" width="1" height="1" alt="" />

You may want to customize the link text. For example, you don't like the word 'Click here to find out more about this', and you want change it to 'want to find out more?':

You can change:

<strong>Click here</strong><br/>to find out more about this

to

want to find out more?

So the new code looks like this:

<a href="http://www.diygadget.com/sales-test-1a40e16c.html" target="_top">
want to find out more?
</a>
<img style="border:0" src="http://www.tiaowiki.com/ar/scripts/imp.php?a_aid=test&a_bid=1a40e16c" width="1" height="1" alt="" />

Just make sure you don't change anything else. Change anything between <a ...> and </a> is ok.

Once you have placed the code in your website or blog, click on the link to test it our, you should be redirected to the product you want to promote.


Customize link target

We have many products available on our website, you may not find a banner/link for the product you want to promote. In this case, you can either contact us from your affiliate control panel so we can create one for you, or you can add a dynamic link yourself.

Let's say, you want to promote our USB probe for liteon], you do not see a banner/link in your control panel for it, now you want to create it by yourself.

First, get the product link from your browser:

Affiliate.customize.target.jpg

I use Internet Explorer as the example, you copy the link from the address bar (top). Once you have the link, go to your affiliate control panel, check Dynamic Link button:

Affiliate.dynamic.link.jpg

Then you will see a popup window, paste the product link to Destination url field, and then click Get code:

Affiliate.dl.1.jpg

You will see the code is generated for you:

Affiliate.dl.2.jpg

You can now place the customized code to your website or blog.

Similarly, you can change the link text if you wish by changing the link text (make sure do not touch anything else).


When do we deposit the money to your account?

When you commission reaches the minimal payout balance, we deposit your commission to your paypal account on the first day of every month.

You can change your paypal address and minimal payout balance by clicking My profile and Payment Details link:
