To make sure affiliate link cookies are activated upon page visit and not by link clicking.
\nPut the shortcode in stead of a normal link Use: [afflink url=”url” name=”name”]

Please read the FAQ about the question if it is legal to use this technique!

\n","installation":"

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

Upload the folder affiliate-link-cookie-maker to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

To use it please use the double quotes. So an URL like ‘http://zafrira.net/?p=1466’ with
\nthe name ‘affiliate test link’ would result in the following shortcode:
\n [afflink url=”http://zafrira.net/?p=1466″ name=”affiliate test link”]

\n","faq":"\n

What does it do?

It simply makes a very very small iframe to the url where you would direct your visitor to
\nand it generates a link that will be displayed in your post or page.
\nThe iframe should be able to receive the cookie.

Why would i want to use it?

Sometimes when you use an affiliate url the visitor does not click on your link but will
\nfor example search the supplier on google.
\nThat way you would loose the commision you would have received if the visitor would have
\nclicked on your link.
\nSo this way you can avoid this.

Is it magical?

No, it is very basic.
\nIf your visitor does not allow cookies, this plugin won’t help that.

Is it legal?

In some cases it is not legal to use this way of affiliate linking.
\nIn some countries it might not be allowed by law. Please check this before you use it.
\nAlso in some cases it might not be allowed by your affiliate link provider.
\nPlease be wise and check this! I do not have a list of countries where it is allowed and
\nwhere not.
