How do people track affiliates?

[Aqua_Marine]

Hi im new to Zazzle and posted looking for affiliates to help promote my products. How ever i have seen people mention how many third parties they have advertising for them? How do you track any affiliates promoting your products? Also is there a specific link we give them or do they simply sign up as an affiliate?

Thankyou in advance 🙂

If you ask the poster who created the recent thread stating how many affiliates they had, he may be able to tell you how he calculated this.

I don't think there is any way to track affiliates... Anyone with an account who's gone to the "Associates" tab and clicked enroll can be one. Any one of them can see your item, click the link to share and they become "your" affiliate - you have no way of knowing. 
I have a notion that sarge thinks that his followers = affiliates and he's got 118 followers. It's got nothing to do with who is actually promoting your products though..

Thanks for the info, I wasn't quite sure how that worked. 

Are the affiliates selling your products included in that total?
