There isn't one.. Affiliates could be linking directly to you or to the marketplace.. There really isn't a good way that a list of affiliates linking to you could be made available.

(2) what my affiliate income is?

You don't make an affiliate income if you aren't an affiliate. Affiliate income comes from selling other peoples stuff. Currently, sales of your products made by affiliates show up in your sales source with an * beside the amount. With the new changes that were announced today, I'm not sure if that will remain that way or not since shopkeepers will no longer have to pay half of the affiliate commissions... As of Aug 1, cafepress will cover 100% of the affiliate's commission and we wont have to pay any of it.

Thanks, Pristine.

It would be nice if there was a way that shop owners could know which sites were listing their shops as affiliates. I'm sure it's technically possible. The question is, does CP want to do it.

As for the recent change, so actually shop owners will pick up a little money because we won't have to pay affiliate commissions? Nice.

Is there a way we can edit typos out of our forum posts after we post them? I just made a stupid typo that I'd like to fix!

I agree, VegeWriter.

To my knowledge, none of the PODs offer that to their artists so I doubt it will ever happen here either..

With that said, this is getting the thread offtopic from its original post. If you guys have new questions or new discussion that aren't related to Shannon's original post, please create a new thread..

Hello, I read a lot about affiliate linking, I register in cj and get my id, i inserted my cafepress id as it was described at links, but the link is still not working, it send me to a blank screen here is a sample of the link:
