Sharing Your Affiliate Referral Links
Treetop Mortgage affiliate program makes it easy for affiliates to generate and share their unique referral URLs/links. Whether you prefer promoting your business through social media, email, or websites, Treetop equips you with the tools to generate and track referral links effectively.
Below are key insights into creating and sharing your affiliate referral URLs, including tracking options and best practices for social sharing.
Generating Affiliate Links
There are three main ways referral links can be generated for affiliates:
1. Affiliates can append their unique affiliate ID or WordPress username to any page URL of your site. For example:
https://treetopmortgage.com/affiliate-professional-home-landing/zipzip/kingkong55/
2. Using the Affiliate Area, affiliates can paste a page URL from your site into the Page URL field and click the Generate URL button to create a referral link.
3. Treetop Mortgage also create referral URLs for our affiliates by appending their affiliate ID or username to any page’s URL and sharing it with them.
Direct Links
Direct links allow you to link directly to this site, from your own website, without an affiliate link.
Managing Direct Links as an Affiliate
Adding a direct link domain
You can add one or more direct link domains from the Direct Links tab of the Affiliate Area. The number of domains you can add as an affiliate is determined by the Treetop Affiliate admin.
To add a new domain after the next, the affiliate can click the Add new domain link. Once an affiliate’s domain limit is reached, the Add new domain link will disappear.
Once an affiliate has added a domain, they can click the Save Direct Links button.
A domain submitted by an affiliate must be approved by the site admin.
Promoting Without a Website
We understand not all affiliates have websites, but that doesn’t stop you from effectively advertising and promoting business (products, services, events, opportunities, etc.). As an affiliate, you can share affiliate referral links:
- On social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Linked IN and Twitter.
- Via email campaigns.
- Offline methods, such as printed materials with QR codes linking to your referral URLs.
Treetop Affiliate supports a variety of referral URL formats, ensuring affiliates can advertise and promote business in ways that suit their strengths.
Sharing on Social Media Platforms
Treetop Affiliates can share referral URLs across social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter. To ensure the best presentation of advertisements, it’s important to use Open Graph tags or meta tags. These tags allow social media crawlers to display the correct page titles, images, and descriptions when links are shared.
Each platform has its own requirements for these tags. Below are links to the documentation for popular platforms:
Setting up Open Graph tags properly ensures seamless and professional sharing by our affiliates on social media.
Tracking Affiliate Link Campaigns
The Treetop Affiliate portal allows affiliates to track their performance using campaign parameters. These parameters help you identify the effectiveness of specific marketing efforts.
You can create campaigns in the Affiliate Area when generating referral links. The campaign name will automatically be appended to the link, like this:

Campaign tracking allows you to focus their marketing on the best-performing channels. From the Statistics Tab in the Affiliate Area, you can view:
- The number of visits through a specific campaign link
- Unique referral links used in the campaign
- Conversion success rates
- Conversion data for a specific campaign
By using campaigns, you can strategize and prioritize their marketing efforts for optimal results.
