Creating links
2min
It's easy to create a link that will enable automatic monetization with RevenueEngine. The following guide will describe how your links should be formated.
Here's an example of a RevenueEngine link that redirects to a Walmart product category page for Camping Gear. Any clicks that go through this link may be eligible to earn you a portion of that sale.
- The d value is a your Revenue Engine ID.
- The dc value in this example is the domain you're trying to send the user to. This must match the domain referenced in the url value.
- The url value should match the domain referenced in the dc value and it should be URL-encoded. Note that the url value is a deep link and not the merchant's homepage. The url parameter is optional. If no deep link is required for your use case (i.e. a user clicking through a directory of merchants) and none is specified, then the link will take the user to the domain referenced in the dc value (usually the merchant's home page).
Note that most browsers only accept URLs up to 2048 characters. Because of this, we recommend having the url as the last parameter to ensure that other parameters are not beyond the 2048 character limit where they may get dropped/ignored.
