Is there any way to tell if your affiliate links are giving you the credit?

Most of my affiliate links from Clickbank have my Clickbank id in them, so it's obvious that I'm getting credit for them. But, a couple of them don't. So how can you tell for sure if you're getting credit if it doesn't have this in the url:

?hop=clickbank id
#affiliate #credit #giving #links

    Here's one. Some other warrior may suggest a better option--

    Not an aff link.

    I don't want to track these affiliate links, I just want to make sure I'm getting credit when people purchase through my link. Is there any way to tell if you're getting credit for them without tracking them?

    I think you have to put a tracking code on their sales page - but I don't think they will do this unless you are driving a lot of traffic to their sales page.

    I guess this is what the gurus do when testing pay per action campaigns or pay per click campaigns. Since they have thousands of dollars to spend they can usually get a tracking code that tells them exactly how many sales and profits their making from a campaign.

    But like I said you have to drive a lot of traffic as an affiliate before they will put a code in their sales page.

    If you are talking about encrypted links and just want to make sure you have copied the link correctly, you can click on the link and follow it through to the order form. Your username will be at the bottom of the page.

    I didn't encrypt my link, but I did use an affiliate redirect. The site it redirects to usually has my clickbank id in the url, but a couple of them don't. I'm just wondering how you'd know in those cases if you're getting credit for the sale.

    I have followed them through to the order form but my username does not appear anywhere on the page, even on the ones where I know I'm getting credit because my Clickbank id is in the url. So I'm guessing they don't put your username at the bottom of the page on the order form anymore.

      You're not seeing this at the bottom of the page where it says "affiliate" in the picture I'm attaching?

    Ah, Yes now I see it. Thanks for pointing that out, not sure how I missed that.

    I thought video sales pages were suppose to be better then written sales pages, but I'm seeing a couple of video sales pages where the videos are not wanting to play right now.
