Configuring iDev Affiliate: Step 1

This is part one of the configuration of iDev Affiliate. After you’ve uploaded the files and added your license key and completed the wizard it’s time to configure iDev Affiliate to your website and products.

After you watch me log into the admin panel you’re going to watch me go over step by step how to enter in the specific name of your company and the website url. I’m going to drill down to the specifics of the cookie url and I’m going to show you some important details to pay attention to.

iDev Affiliate Cookie and IP Logging

Since the iDev Affiliate system works off of cookies (and IP logging) to track visitors as they’re coming into your website, the details behind cookie tracking are critical. I’m going to show you step-by-step exactly how you want to set this up so that whether you have www in your domain name or your domain doesn’t have the www; the cookie is still going to be set on the visitor’s computer and iDev Affiliate is going to be able to track them from beginning to end… all the way through the sale process.

Ethical issues aside, you want to be absolutely certain your click tracking and sale tracking is working. You want your affiliates to get credit for their sales so they’ll keep promoting your products.
