Tracking Codes
AreteX™ Tracking Codes are similar to standard affiliate referral codes. Like standard affiliate
codes, they can be used to track commissions of referrers. However, they also have the following
advanced features:
1. They can be used either directly in the URL or as a "Coupon Code". That means they are not
limited to "click throughs".
2. They have the flexibiltiy to be built around Commision Groups, date, and/or product(s).
3. They may be used to automatically compute discounts - thus providing an incentive for their use.
4. They are case and font in-senstive. Not only does it not matter if the user types upper or lower case
into the coupon box, AreteX will treat letters and numbers that are easily confused as identical characters.
(For example - The letter z and the numeral 2 are treated identically, as are the letter o and the numeral zero).
5. They are "tamper resistent." Unauthorized alterations to the code that could change the offer,
referrer, or media source will invalidate the code, rendering it useless.
