301 Redirect

—

I would like to redirect affiliate links to go directly to the online store versus having to navigate from the homepage to the store. I set up a simple 301 redirect using a plugin on WP and the redirect works fine; however, affiliate traffic is not tracking when the redirect is in place.

Is there a way to redirect affiliate links to my store page?

    Hi Jared,

    Please have a look at your redirect plugin settings in case you have the option to redirect with the URL parameters. Another option would be to check .htaccess rules and add your own rule that will redirect with the URL parameter.
    Alternatively, instead of promoting the homepage URL, your affiliates can also promote the shop URL directly.
    For example, [affiliates_url]http://www.example.com/somepage[/affiliates_url].

    Kind regards,
    George
