Rest easy, knowing that all clicks on your link will be sent to the correct destination as a properly formatted affiliate tracking link.<\/p><p>We call this process \u201c<strong>Auto-affiliation<\/strong>\u201d and it\u2019s very simple to set up. All you need to do is grab your 7-digit Account Number from the Impact dashboard and drop it into the Geniuslink dashboard Affiliate page. Once we have that ID, any geni.us links you build for Microsoft.com products will have your affiliate parameters appended automatically.<\/p><p>Please note, once you\u2019ve been accepted into the 16 global Microsoft affiliate programs, you will need to insert your affiliate ID for each of them individually within our dashboard, despite the fact they all use the same ID number.
