Links provide a way for you to automatically generate URL listings for pages in your Quick Shopping Cart storefront. You can then copy the URL and place it as a link on other Web sites or give it to others to place in advertising and other activities that rely on links. You can also add source code to your links for tracking (tagging) purposes.
Links are not related to specific products.
To Create Links
- Log in to your Account Manager.
- In the My Products section, click Quick Shopping Cart.
- On the Quick Shopping Cart page, click Open next to the Quick Shopping Cart account you want to use.
- From the Promotions menu, click Links.
- Select Use Source Code, and enter a unique source code for the link.
- Select the type of link to create:
- Home Page
- Links directly to Home page.
- Showcase Product
- From the list, select a product to showcase.
- Showcase Category
- From the list, select a category to showcase.
- Store Search
- Enter a search term.
The source code for the link displays on the bottom of the page.
NOTE: Source codes can be any characters. You must be able to identify what each source code represents. For example, Yahoo!001 might refer to your first ad on Yahoo!.
