Affiliation!

Hello! I am setting up a site (like many others) to offer affiliate links.I was just wondering how I go about linking certain products like games ect in my site? and also I have heard of people not getting the money through the links they supplied because of clearing cookies ect? I often clear the cookies and do scans ect,would this effect anything?

Many thanks for your help

    The affiliate companies will provide you with ad code to place on your website.
    This will link to the products and contains your id so they know where the referal came from. you normally dont get paid per click, only for a completed purchase.

    it doesn't matter if you clear your cookies, the cookies are stored on your visitors computer to track the purchase back to you if they leave your site and come back later.
