Abstract
Techniques for increasing the efficacy of an affiliate marketing program are described herein. These techniques may allow participants of the affiliate marketing program to easily create links to content that a content site offers. To do so, the content site may determine whether a user that requests content from the site is a participant of the program or a non-participant. Based at least in part on determining that the requesting user is a participant, the content site may serve the requested content in addition to a mechanism for creating links to the content. Furthermore, the mechanism may also illustrate or otherwise include content that is customized based on the content that the participant requests and/or based on an identity of the participant.
