| Am I required to have a link on my Web site?
|
|
| In order to take advantage of our Affiliate Program, it is necessary to put a link on your site.

| How do you keep track of eligible applications generated through affiliate Web sites?
|
|
| All of the links on an affiliate's site contain unique IDs assigned by the affiliate network that identify their site and what link is used.
