Affiliate ID:This is the ID number assigned to you by your target site. This is a required field and is used to refer customers from the target back to you when they are directed to the target site from your page.
Target ID:This is the account number of the target site you will be linking to (ex: X304511). A CGI script will associate the Affiliate ID to this Target ID and will retrieve your information from the target's affiliate list.
URL:The location of the page you are linking to. It must be a fully qualified URL (preceded by http://). The cookie that stores affiliate information for return visits is based off of this URL.
Link Text:This is the text that will display the link on your page.

Click the "Submit" button when you are done to add your Display Information block.

Hard-Coded Link: Using an HTML block or a home HTML editor you can hard-code a link that will direct to a target site just like the 'Link from Affiliate to Target' Block does.
Such a link can be created using the following format:
<a href='http://abc.eznettools.net/cgi-bin/EZAffiliate/affiliate_push.cgi?target=(target ID)&affiliate=(Your ID)&url=http://abc.eznettools.net/(address of target page)'> Click Here </a>

Some Macintosh users have experienced problems when using websites that have a Link From Affiliate to Target block. When they click the link, they will sometimes receive the following error message: "A network error has occurred (-3151)". This occurs when the link is specified as the domain name (i.e., http://www.yourdomain.com). To fix the problem, add a forward slash after the domain name (i.e., http://www.yourdomain.com/). Note: This doesn't occur if you specify a subdirectory (i.e., http://www.yourdomain.com/subdirectory) or a specific page (i.e., http://www.yourdomain.com/specificpage.html).
