Directly Link to a Product or Category

One of the most effective ways to generate a sale is to link directly from your site to specific products or categories on Timbo's Drum Shop's website. Suggest a particular item or provide information regarding a certain instrument, create product reviews, and then encourage your viewers to buy the item via convenient direct links.

How to Direct Link

Direct linking to our products is a simple matter.



To slash or not to slash? A slash is necessary ONLY when linking to the url http://www.timbosdrumshop.com, but NOT when linking to any specific page on the site. The correct syntax (as shown at the top of this page) is

http://www.timbosdrumshop.com/?ref=##AFFILLINK##.

However, if you are linking to any specific page (as indicated by the appearance of .aspx in the url), using the slash will generate an error message. The correct syntax is

http://www.timbosdrumshop.com/Whatever-page-you-link-to.aspx?ref=##AFFILLINK##

In the event that your link doesn't work, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Let's say you want to link to the Pro Mark Maple SD2 Bolero Drum Stick. Normally, you would just link to the address you see in your web browser:

http://store.timbosdrumshop.com/shop/item.aspx?itemid=2314

In order for us to know the customer came to us from your site, you need to add a bit of stuff containing your affiliate code to the end of the product's address.

Your affiliate code is: ##AFFILLINK## (this is the number you recieved from us when you signed up to be an affiliate.

The complete bit of stuff you need is: ?(or &)ref=##AFFILLINK##

Add this to the end of the product's address. Using the Pro Mark Maple SD2 Bolero Drum Stick example, the new address to link to would be: How to know WHEN to use ?ref=##AFFILLINK## or when to use &ref=##AFFILLINK##. It's actually quite easy!
