How to Create a Custom Affiliate URL

Creating a custom affiliate URL in the ClickRank Affiliate Program allows you to track and optimize your referrals effectively. Custom URLs can help you segment traffic, run A/B tests, and tailor your links to specific campaigns or audiences. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Steps to Create a Custom Affiliate URL

- Log in to your affiliate account and navigate to the Home tab.

Go to Create New Link:
- Under the Referral Links section, click on the New Link button to open the custom URL creation form.

Enter Link Details:
- Name: Add a descriptive name to help you identify the purpose of the link (e.g., "Campaign A," "Facebook Ads").
- URL: Enter the destination URL where you want to direct your referrals (e.g., your website or a specific landing page). By default, it will show the ClickRank URL.
