How is the program maintained?
The kaptest.com Affiliate Network has joined forces with LinkShare, the nation's premier affiliate management company. The LinkShare program enables us to track your site visitors who click through to kaptest.com. Those visitors are coded with a unique ID, which tells us which site they came from. We can then track their purchases and automatically credit you with the commission.

How can I track my performance?
When you become a member of the kaptest.com Affiliate Network, you will receive a user name and password for the LinkShare network. To track your performance, simply log on to LinkShare and enter your username and password. You can then access an area where you can run reports on your affiliation with kaptest.com, including number of click throughs, number of sales, and commissions earned. This information is updated daily.

What if I have multiple sites?
If you have multiple sites, you must provide us with the URL's of each site you wish to have participate in the program. You can manage the sites in a manner that best suits your needs.

If you would like to treat all of your sites as one account, simply apply the same tag or HTML code you get from LinkShare, across all of your sites. This way, all referrals from all sites will fall under one account. You will have one account to manage. If, however, you would like to be able to track each site individually, you will need to register each site as a separate affiliate.
