Affiliate Getting Started
Please read all of these steps before proceeding.
1. Go to www.qncenter.net/store/partner
2. Register as a Partner (Affiliate).
3. On the registration page, under “Affiliate Plans”, in the Partner Plan drop down box, make sure to select “standard” instead of leaving it set to “none”.
Tip: Some affiliate links may be visible in the browser address bar and your Partner (Affiliate) Login ID becomes your Affiliate ID. As an example let’s say your name is TJThomas and you use your name as your Partner Login ID, then your website visitors may see TJThomas in the URL when they follow a link to our site. You might consider creating a Login ID that begins with “qnc” and is followed by a random five digit number (ex. qnc12345). Partner (Affiliate) ID’s must use lower case letters and numbers.
4. Once you’ve registered you can access the partner area at www.qncenter.com/store/partner. After you Login, you’ll find banners and HTML links – code snippets that you can use to copy and paste into your web page that already have your partner ID embedded in them.
Types of Links
There are three different types of links in the Partner (Affiliate) area. Their use is described in the following scenarios:
Scenario 1: You want to link to a specific product.
Login in the partner area and under Management in the left side-bar select Product HTML Code. Search for the product name and click on the product in the Search Results. If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the displayed page, after the product price, you’ll see a gray bar across the page that says “Product HTML Code”. In that section you can copy and paste the html code that already has your partner ID embedded in it. You’ll need to place it in a HTML Link Tag on your page – it might look something like this (except all on one line).
I personally recommend the Quantum Nutrition <a href=http://www.qncenter.com/store/product.php?productid=16177&partner=qnc12345 >Dailiy Multi Vitamin</a>.
Scenario 2: You want link to the QNCenter website, and let the customer shop for whatever they want within the store.
This scenario supposes that you want to create a hyper link within a sentence. This time, you’ll need to copy the JavaScript code and paste it right into your sentence. It’s even easier then creating a hyperlink (above). You just copy and paste the JavaScript code in-line and you’re all set. It can be styled with a <span></span> tag to change the font-size, font-family, text color etc.
In the Partner area, under Management, select Banner HTML code. You’ll see four or five examples of the text you will want to use (e.g. Quantum Nutrition Center, www.qncenter.com, QNcenter.com, QNCenter) Pick one of those text versions and copy and paste the JavaScript code – ignoring the IFrame and SSI code. The Javascript code links back to our site and contains your Partner ID.
Scenario 3: You want to link to the QNCenter website from a banner that appears on your website. The customer can then broswe the website, enter the store, shop for whatever they want and you’ll receive credit for their purchase.
In the Partner area, under Management, Banner HTML scroll down until you find a banner the size and shape you need. You can either copy the JavaScript code or use the IFrame code depending on how you are going to place the banner on your website.
When customer clicks on a banner in your web page, you won’t see a long URL that contains the Partner ID. Clicking on a banner calls a special program that sets the partner cookie with your Partner ID before the browser is redirected to the QNCenter.com home page.
