How to Create Affiliate Links to Specific Product Pages

Your default affiliate link points to the dotCanada homepage, but you can also create custom links that send visitors directly to a specific product or plan page. This is a great way to increase conversions by matching your link to the content your audience is already reading about.

How Custom Affiliate Links Work

To link to a specific page, simply append your affiliate tracking parameter to any dotCanada URL. The format is:

https://dotcanada.com/TARGET-PAGE/?ref=YOURCODE

Replace TARGET-PAGE with the page you want to link to (such as web-hosting or wordpress-hosting), and replace YOURCODE with your unique affiliate code found in your affiliate dashboard.

Examples

• Shared Hosting: https://dotcanada.com/web-hosting/?ref=YOURCODE
• WordPress Hosting: https://dotcanada.com/wordpress-hosting/?ref=YOURCODE
• Domain Registration: https://dotcanada.com/domains/?ref=YOURCODE

Why Link to Specific Pages?

Sending visitors to the exact product they're interested in reduces friction and increases the likelihood of a completed purchase. For example, if you're writing a review of managed WordPress hosting, a direct link to that plan is far more effective than a generic homepage link.

Testing Your Links

Always test your custom links in a private or incognito browser window to ensure the tracking code is being picked up correctly before publishing.
