How do I track my sales activity and commissions?

You can view your account status, sales activity, commissions and much more by logging into your affiliate control panel.

I want to know how to associate my sale with a specific site or offer.

The new campaign system is dynamic, so you can use http://link-text (where "-text" is the campaign appended to the end of the URL).

Example Link:
http://hostgator.com/~affiliat/cgi-bin/clickthru.cgi?id=yourname

Example Link + Campaign ID:
http://hostgator.com/~affiliat/cgi-bin/clickthru.cgi?id=yourname-campaign1

The text, "campaign1" in this example, shows up under 'Manage Campaigns' in your affiliate control panel.

It works instantly, so give it a try.

Please email affiliates@hostgator.com for affiliate program questions and support.

The affiliates plan only works on one level.

If your referrals decide to become affiliates, you do not make money on their referrals.

Is there any affiliate tracking API? For example, I want to automatically send someone an email with some bonus material only after they have created their hosting account using my affiliate link.

We cannot provide you any information about our new customers. All we can indicate is that someone purchased via your link.

What you can do is use the campaign feature to place your registered user's name/ID into the affiliate URL.

Note: This will only help you track a purchase from someone you know and have contacted. There is still no way for you to contact a stranger who has clicked your link.
