Linking
How do I create my affiliate link?
Here’s how to add your affiliate code to the end of your babeland.com links:
When linking to our homepage: https://www.babeland.com/, or a direct link to a product page like this: https://www.babeland.com/sex-toys/p/BL2487/magic-wand/magic-wand always add ?kbid= to the end of the URL.
Like this: https://www.babeland.com/sex-toys/p/BL2487/magic-wand/magic-wand?kbid=1001
For every other page on our site that has a url already including a ?, add &kbid= to the end of your link.
So the link to the Magic Wand found by search using your affiliate code will look like this: https://www.babeland.com/search?type=bltoys&query=magic+wand&kbid=1001
Can I link directly to a product?
You certainly can!
Search for a product (i.e. Magic Wand), grab the URL and then add to the end of the URL string ?kbid= and your account id # to get credit.
i.e. https://www.babeland.com/sex-toys/p/BL2487/magic-wand/magic-wand?kbid=43 (but using your account id number instead of 43).
If the URL you grab already has a ? in it, add &kbid= to the end.
i.e. https://www.babeland.com/sex-toys/p/BL2487/magic-wand/magic-wand?lref=Cat|catalog1200005_158||44|c|2|-relevance|toy_category|0&kbid=43 (but using your account id number instead of 43).
How do I link to a product category?
Just grab a category URL and add ?kbid= to the end.
i.e. Beginner Vibrators category: https://www.babeland.com/sex-toys/c/86/vibrators/beginners-vibrators?kbid=43 (Use your account ID instead of 43).
My link isn't working properly. What should I do?
If you experience trouble with your link, please consider the following: Verify that your HTML code is identical to the code the we provided. Be sure to copy all of the code. Some web-editing programs will alter the code after you paste it into your page. If your web-editing program is altering your code, read below. Make sure you have not added extra spaces or hard returns in the code. IMPORTANT!! Altering the HTML code may affect the tracking of transactions originating from your link. We strongly suggest that you do not modify the HTML code in any way.
What can I do if my code is being altered by a web-editing program?
WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) web-editing programs will sometimes alter link code after you paste it into your page. This can lead to unexpected and sometimes negative results. Altering a link can cause tracking problems, and you may not receive proper credit for sales originating from your site. You can use the following procedure to ensure link integrity no matter which web editor you use:
- Once you have finished designing/editing the page, close your web editor.
- Open the HTML source file of the associated page with a text-editor (e.g., Notepad).
- Add the generated link code.
- Upload/publish the page before opening it again in your web editor.
NOTE: It is a good idea to check your HTML source code against the Babeland.Com code to look for inconsistencies even when using our recommended procedure. As always, monitor Babeland.com traffic and revenue data to ensure that your activity is being properly recorded.

I operate more than one web site. How do I add sites to my account?
If you to send traffic to Babeland from additional web sites you operate, please login to our network partner and, under Account, select “Profile Settings” where you’ll find “Additional Websites” as an option. You may add your other sites here and, when creating links, you will be prompted to select which site you’d like to generate a link for.

The data in reports does not accurately reflect activity originating from my link. Why?
In some cases, orders may not appear until the next business day. If reports are showing what appear to be discrepancies, it's possible that the code for tags has been modified. If the code for the tag has been modified, reports would not accurately reflect link activity. Please check the code for your link. It's also important to keep in mind that a high click-through number does not guarantee a high sales total.
