I’m finally setting up our affiliate program and I have a quick question (I’m sure there will be many, many more!)

I see a lot of hosted galleries, blogs, etc. where they have CC Bill affiliate ID = XXXX and tell you to replace it with your own. I’ve also seen where the ID = 123456 (or some other number) and they tell you to replace the ‘123456’ with your own ID.

I’m assuming in the latter case, it’s because if the link is just copied and pasted, the link will still give credit to someone.

My question is, where did the ‘123456’ number come from? Did the sponsor sign up to their own program to get their own number? Is it somewhere in CC Bill? I’ve looked though the menus on CC Bill but I’m still very confused with their entire website.

Thanks,
Jake
