To maximize your conversion rate and affiliate earnings, we recommend sending traffic to the most relevant design topics on CafePress. For example, if you operate a political web site, you may want to link to our election portal http://www.cafepress.com/shop/politics. If you are updating your dachshund blog, you may want to direct users to dachshund related search results http://www.cafepress.com/buy/dachshunds.
Here is how to configure your CJ links to send traffic to relevant destinations on CafePress. Remember to replace "PID"
where it appears in the following linking structures with your CJ PID.
Your CJ Link: http://www.qksrv.net/click-PID-10463747
CafePress Destination: Political Portal URL: http://www.cafepress.com/shop/politics
Complete Link: http://www.qksrv.net/click-PID-10463747?URL=http://www.cafepress.com/shop/politics
Your CJ Link: http://www.qksrv.net/click-PID-10463747
Display Search Results for Dachshunds http://www.cafepress.com/buy/dachshunds

Before directing traffic to a CafePress shop, be sure the shop is opted in to receive affiliate sales. You can verify this by ensuring the products sold in the shop are also available in the CafePress marketplace.
Shop Page Link: http://www.qksrv.net/click-PID-10463747?URL=http://www.cafepress.com/cafepress
If you are linking to your own CafePress Shop using an Affiliate link, you must use the following link format, per the Affiliate TOS. This linking format identifies you as a CafePress Shopkeeper so you don't generate Affiliate and Shop commission on the same transaction.
http://www.qksrv.net/click-PID-10463747?URL=http://www.cafepress.com/ShopName&XID=AccountID
- Replace PID with your CJ numeric PID Value
- Replace ShopName with the Shopname you want to link to
- Replace AccountID with your CafePress Account ID. This is the number you see at the top of the page after you login.
For example, if my Commission Junction PID = 1111111 and I want to link to my Shop called "theopinionator" and my CafePress account ID is 222222, the link format is:
http://www.qksrv.net/click-1111111-10463747?URL=http://www.cafepress.com/theopinionator&XID=222222
Product Pages:
To link to a product page, copy and paste the URL of the page after url= in the query string below. For example:
http://www.qksrv.net/click-CJ-PID-10463747?url=http://www.cafepress.com/buy//-/pv_design_prod/p_1774772.62977519/pNo_62977519/id_13127271/fpt_/opt_/c_360/pg_1
You can link to any page on CafePress by simply pasting the URL you want to link to after url= in the tracking link.
SID Parameter
The SID parameter is optional and can be used to track performance of your individual marketing campaigns, web placements, email newsletter campaigns, or keywords. Simply append your URLs with &SID=XXXXXXXX For example:
http://www.qksrv.net/click-PID-10463747?URL=http://www.cafepress.com/buy/dachshunds&SID=Aug2007-Newsletter
In your CJ Reports, results for this SID=Aug2007_Newsletter will be reported separately so you can measure the ROI of this particular campaign.
