within your Web site in a month. JPR Capital requests this information

Link
How do I create links to my site?
Creating links is as simple as cutting and pasting. Just go
to the Creating Links section, choose the link you want to create, and
click the Make My Code button. Copy the HTML from the Generated HTML Code
pop up window and paste it into your site.

but JPR Capital may offer new link types in the future.
Back to Top
Can I modify the HTML code for a link?
We do NOT recommend modifying the HTML in any way since it can
affect the tracking of your affiliate link. We are not responsible for
any lost commission that may result from modifications of the link. Please
refer to our affiliate agreement at Affiliates for more
information.
Back to Top
Why do I have to use the tag generator?
In order for the system to properly track impressions, click
throughs, and sales coming from your affiliate site, the tags must contain
critical tracking information. If any of this information is incorrect
or missing, you won't get proper credit for sales resulting from the erroneous
link. The only way to ensure that all information will be correctly tracked
is to create links using the tag generator.
Back To Top
Why is the 1x1 pixel included in the BFAST tag?
The 1x1 pixel is a tiny, clear graphic that is placed with each
affiliate link to track link performance. The 1x1 pixel allows Be Free
to record an impression and its associated link information each time
a link is viewed. This information allows Be Free to generate reports
for affiliates to show the effectiveness of individual links or affiliate
sites. Be Free uses high-performance servers and redundant connectivity
to ensure that images appear quickly. However, in the unlikely event that
our servers suffer slowdowns or downtime, the download time of the affiliate
sites will not be affected because of the small size of the 1x1 pixel.

provides. Be sure to copy all of the code. Some Web-editing programs
will alter the code after you paste it into your page. If your Web-editing
program is altering your code, please click the Help
with HTML button in the Generated HTML Code popup window.
- Make sure you have not added extra spaces or hard returns in the
code.
- IMPORTANT!! Altering the HTML code may affect the tracking

What is the difference between an Affiliate
Link and an Auto-Merchandiser Link?
Affiliate Links and Auto-Merchandiser Links are both created
on Reporting.net and can both be placed on your affiliate site; however,
there are differences between them. An Affiliate Link could link to our
home page, our products, or sections of our Web site. When you create
the link, you choose the specific image or text you want to display as
the link from the options we give you. The image and text will always
stay the same until you create a new tag on Reporting.net.
An Auto-Merchandiser Link is different because instead of choosing
a specific image or text, you only choose the size of the banner for
an Auto-Merchandiser Link. By only choosing a size, you will be able
to receive our most current promotions and advertising banners.

FlexTrack
Do you offer the FlexTrack functionality to
your affiliates?
.
We're sorry, but at this time, JPR Capital is not offering FlexTrack
to our affiliates.
Back To Top
What is FlexTrack?
FlexTrack lets affiliates define a parameter that they can add
to the click through URL of their affiliate links. This parameter gives
additional tracking capabilities to master affiliates, charity programs
and loyalty programs.
Back To Top
Why would I want to use FlexTrack?
This feature was developed primarily for affiliates who want
to track information unique to their focus, such as master affiliates
that have a large number of sub-affiliate sites, affiliates that work
with charity sites, and loyalty programs that offer points or cash-back
rewards to customers. FlexTrack allows you to track sales and earnings
so payments or points can be credited back to the end-customer, designated
charities and other third parties.

I'm interested in using FlexTrack. What should
I do?
Please contact us at Affiliates if you
are interested in FlexTrack.

How do I keep track of commissions?
You can keep track of your commissions through the Creating
Reports section. The commission reports include commission information
for your site. You can organize this information by merchant, product,
date range, etc. to help you determine the most profitable marketing mix
for your site.
Back to Top
How do I measure my site's performance?
You can measure your site's performance through the various
reports in the Creating Reports section. These reports provide you with
information on critical metrics such as impressions, click-throughs and
click-to-order ratios.
Back to Top
How often are reports updated?
Impression and click-through information is updated overnight.
Revenue information will appear two business days later.(If an application
is submitted on Monday, the revenue is reflected in reports on Wednesday).
Back To Top
What is the importance of checking reports
frequently?
The sales that you generate as an affiliate can be a key factor
in your site's profitability. For a few weeks after you first place affiliate
links on your site, the novelty of the links will increase their performance.
However, to make good performance part of your long-term profit strategy,
you should plan to regularly consult the reports available on Reporting.net
to help you adjust your content and advertising accordingly.
Back To Top
The data in reports does not accurately reflect
activity originating from my link. Why?
Data, such as impressions, click-throughs, and orders, will
not appear until the next business day. Revenue or shipped sales will
not be reflected in the reports until the order is shipped.
If reports are showing what appear to be discrepancies, it's possible
that the code for tags has been modified. If the code for the tag has
been modified, reports would not accurately reflect link activity. This
sometimes shows in reports when click-throughs are greater than impressions.
When click-throughs are greater than impressions, it is almost always
because the 1x1 pixel has been removed from the tag on the affiliate
site. If this happens, no impression data will be recorded because the
1x1 pixel is the mechanism that tracks impression data.
Back to Top
What is a click-through?
A click-through occurs when a visitor to your site clicks on
your affiliate link.
Back to Top
What is an impression?
An impression is the opportunity for a visitor to your site
to utilize your affiliate link. An impression is recorded every time the
affiliate link is loaded and viewable to the visitor of your site.

If I have two user names and passwords,
both of which contain an account with daigakujin.com, can I consolidate

Cookies
What are cookies and why should I use them?
Cookies are very small files that contain information about
your visit to a Web site and your use of the site. They are sent by a
server and are stored on your computer. They can't access or read the
files on your hard drive, and they also cannot be used as viruses. They
are used to send you the information you want from a site more quickly
and to automatically do things for you that would otherwise require more
work on your part.
Back to Top
Why do cookies sometimes go to server names
that I've never heard of?
There are a few reasons why you might not recognize server names:
- Advertising firms use cookies to make sure you see their ad one,
two, or three times based on what their campaign requires. They do
this by setting cookies in your computer that communicate with their
server.
- Other cookies track commission information. Some merchants use cookies
to remember which affiliate site sent a customer to their site. Neither
their server nor our server is used for tracking these cookies; instead,
an independent server is used to track this information. That's why,
as an affiliate, you'll see cookies going to "bfast.com." Our cookies
only last for four hours. Therefore, when you go back the next day,
a new cookie will be set.
Back to Top
Can I shop online without using cookies?
Because shopping cart systems at online stores rely heavily
on cookies to temporarily remember what you've put into your shopping
basket, you are almost always required to use cookies in order to shop
online. These cookies usually expire as soon as you exit a shop.
Back to Top
What are some cookie troubleshooting tips?
- Make sure cookies are enabled:

(without shutting down your browser). For example, log-on, and
when you get the cookie error screen, go to the top right corner

Netscape resolves its cookie issues itself after a couple attempted
logins.
