 Otherwise mv_pc does double duty as a cache foiler, and is a meaningless,
 incrementing integer.

1.1                  xmldocs/glossary/affiliate


rev 1.1, prev_rev 1.0
Index: affiliate
===================================================================

When giving links to your website to your partners, often times you want
to embed an identification string that will link visits or eventual
sales to the corresponding partner.
</para><para>
&IC; supports affiliate tracking; the source of the visit or order
is always accessible using <code>[data session source]</code>.
</para><para>
So when giving links to your affiliates, make sure the affiliate code
you assign them is embedded in one of the following ways:
<programlisting>
http://&def-hostname;/cgi-bin/&std-catalog;/index?;;thesource         (old Minivend 3 way, still works)
http://&def-hostname;/cgi-bin/&std-catalog;/index?mv_pc=thesource     (Interchange way, still works)
http://&def-hostname;/cgi-bin/&std-catalog;/index?mv_source=thesource (current way)
</programlisting>
Note that <mv>mv_source</mv> was added as an affiliate code-passing option
only in &IC; 4.9.x. Before that, affiliate code was passed in <mv>mv_pc</mv>.
The <mv>mv_pc</mv> variable is used as a variable containing a random number
to prevent caching of pages. So if you want to use mv_pc as a way of 
carrying over the affiliate code, it must contain at least one non-digit.
(<literal>mv_pc=A12</literal> is a good affiliate code,
<literal>mv_pc=12</literal> is not). If using <mv>mv_source</mv>, affiliate
code is free of this restriction.
</para><para>
Sometimes you want the affiliate code to disappear from the URL after
the visitors get redirected to your page. To enable that feature, see
&conf-BounceReferrals; configuration directive.
