LinkShare

Affiliate Programs are tagged similar to Paid Search. The C3 tag present on your landing page captures the data from the query string in the destination URL.  This will attribute value across your entire Affiliate program and allow you to discover which affiliate are driving value at the top of the funnel, vs jumping in at the last second.

For LinkShare, there are two methods for tracking:

1)  Reserved NetworkID Label
Direct integration of C3 with LinkShare is available with the use of a 'Reserved NID Label' for the LinkShare 'siteID' parameter.  If you links from LinkShare include the 'siteID' parameter, just inform C3 NetworkOps and this will be enabled for your campaign.
