Technical Specifications

How does it work? The link of form post triggers a program that creates a cookie in the visitor's web browser and then redirects them to the homepage of Medical Coding .Net (http://www.medical-coding.net). When the visitor makes a purchase, your affiliate number will be identified within the cookie, and your affiliate account will receive credit for the sale. The cookie persists for 30 days, and any sales completed by a referral in that time will be logged to your account.

By default, all click-through visitors enter the Medical Coding .Net homepage. If you would prefer that the landing page for your visitors be a different page within the site, please contact us at  to request a different URL.

The essential parts of affiliate referral links are the following:

1. Always use the URL location:
   http://www.medical-coding.net/cgi-bin/mcart/ares.cgi
      
2. Always POST or GET the variable ID with YourAffiliateNumber:
   GET: ?ID=YourAffiliateNumber
   POST: name=ID value=YourAffiliateNumber
