Affiliate Tracking 代销商追踪

Now, RegNow can support tracking of affiliate downloads and sales in addition to the traditional cookie-based tracking system. Using the RegNow affiliate program you have two options for enabling affiliates to earn commissions on trials: 目前RegNow除了支持传统的基于cookie的追踪系统，还可以追踪代销商的下载和销售。在RegNow代销商方案中，您有两个选项能使代销商从试用版产品中获得佣金：

• Affiliates can now request your product file from the RegNow system which will include their affiliate ID within the buy URL, assuring credit for the sale. This solution, hosted by the affiliate, is fully automated and removes the need for you to manage one-off custom builds for your affiliate partners.
  代销商现在可以从RegNow系统中申请您的产品档案，系统将把代销商ID嵌入在购买URL中以保证销售佣金的追踪。代销商提供的这种解决方案是完全自动化的，这样您就不必再为您的代销商伙伴逐一进行一次性的自定义建立。


• Affiliates simply link to the RegNow system for on-the-fly downloads and custom builds. Each download request dynamically inserts the affiliate ID into the buy URL. This solution easily scales, because RegNow hosts the file and all affiliates use the same file. All you have to do is update one file. This eliminates the need for affiliates to re-download your file in the event of an upgrade or patch.
  代销商只需把进行中的下载和自定义建立链向RegNow系统。每个下载请求将动态地把代销商ID嵌入购买URL中。因为此档案由RegNow提供，所有的代销商都使用这个相同的档案，所以这个解决方案易于扩展。您所需做的就是更新一个档案。这样代销商就不必因为您的档案升级或补丁更新而重新下载您的档案。
  
  Here's how it works: 这里是它的运作方式：

  2. Add Your Trial To The RegNow Control Panel.
     把您的试用版添加到RegNow控制面板中。
     
     Complete the following steps: 完成下列步骤：
     1. When you create your product, you can select which trial file to associate with the product under the "Select Files" tab; or you can also upload new files there.
        当您建立产品时，您可以在"Select Files"标签项下为产品选择指定的试用档案；或者您也可以在那里上传新档案。
     2. If you upload your trial through the ‘Files?option in your control panel, check the ‘Affiliate Tracking? box. This triggers the Affiliate Tracking mechanism within your code PLUS makes your title available to affiliates as a downloadable item.
        如果您通过控制面板的‘Files’选项上传您的试用版，请选取‘Affiliate Tracking’选框。这样便可以在您的代码中激发代销商追踪机制，并且使您的产品显示在可供代销商下载的产品列表中。
     3. Attach the file you created in the step above by going into the edit screens of your product and choosing the file from the "Trial File" drop-down list (under the 'Manage Delivery Options' tab).
        进入您的产品的编辑页面，从"Trial File"下拉列表中选择档案，从而附上您在上面步骤所建立的档案（在'Manage Delivery Options'标签项下）。
  
  
  3. Advertise.

     Let your existing affiliates know that your products are available for download in addition to Buy Now links. If they link to RegNow for the trial, they are guaranteed to be pushing out the latest version of your software ?because updates are done automatically through the RegNow system. Also, begin recruiting new affiliates that may only be interested in offering downloadable titles. By adding downloadable content to the RegNow affiliate program, you’ve taken the first step towards acquiring more affiliate relationships and greater online revenues.
     让您的现有代销商知道您的产品除了提供Buy Now链接还提供试用下载。如果他们的试用版下载链接指向了RegNow，他们就能确保所推行的软件是您的最新版本——因为更新是通过RegNow系统自动完成。另外，可以招募那些可能只对提供可下载产品感兴趣的新代销商。通过把可下载的内容添加到在RegNow代销商方案，您就已迈出了建立更多代销商关系和获得更好的在线收入的第一步。
  
  Once you've done this coding, each time a file is downloaded from RegNow on behalf of your affiliates, a 'buy url' will be created and stored on the user's machine. When the end user clicks to buy your program, they will be taken to this stored URL. 一旦完成这个编码，每当经由代销商的链接到RegNow下载档案时，一个'buy url'将被建立并存储在用户的机器上。当终端用户点击购买您的产品时，他们将会被带到所储存的链接。
  
  What are the benefits to this option? 该选项有什么益处？
  
  
  1. Once your code has been updated with this new tracking option, this single program can be delivered via RegNow to any affiliate, without having to create custom builds each time. This saves you quite a bit of time!
     一旦您的代码更新使用了这个新的追踪选项，同一个程序可以通过RegNow传递给所有代销商，而不必每次为不同代销商建立特别的下载档案，为您节省大量时间！
  
  
  2. Your affiliate sales will grow as their confidence grows in the assurance they will get credit for each sale.
     代销商的销量将随着他们对保证能获得每笔销售佣金的信心的增强而增加。
  
  
  3. Cookies are still used as a backup, continuing with the current solution today.
     Cookie仍作为目前现行方案的备份使用。
