Step 3 - Create a link with your unique tracking ID
It's very important that you use your unique tracking ID in all links to our site. Below is an example of the correct link you'll need to use.
http://www.thestretchinghandbook.com/cmd.php?af=XXXXXX
"XXXXXX" represents your unique tracking ID. You must replace "XXXXXX" with the unique tracking ID that you received with your introductory email. If you don't, you will not get credit for any sales that come from the visitors you send to us.
<a href="http://www.thestretchinghandbook.com/cmd.php?af=XXXXXX">Place your banner, image or text here</a>
In the HTML link above, "Place your banner, image or text here" represents the clickable banner, image or text link your visitors will see. This also must be replaced with the banner, image or text you've decided to use. For a complete list of banners, images and text links refer to our Banners, Images & Text Links section.
Step 4 - Start your promotional campaign
If you've chosen to use a banner, image or text link, or one of our articles, you'll need to add the code to your site in the location where you want it to appear. To do this, simply open your site in any HTML editor, insert the code where you want it to appear, save the changes, and then upload it to the internet.
If you've decided to promote our products via email, simply write your own email, (or use one of our pre-written emails) include your unique tracking ID and send it to your customers or subscriber list.
