When you add a new website in Affilimate, you also want to make sure that you've added the website in your various affiliate portals.
This makes sure that the affiliate network or merchants is okay with you delivering traffic from the new website. This is important to make sure you stay compliant with the affiliate program's terms of service.
This article will explain how to add a second website with affiliate links to:
Multiple websites on Amazon
You are allowed to use affiliate links from a single Amazon Associates account on multiple websites, as long as you add those websites to your account.
For better tracking, we also recommend creating unique Tracking IDs per website.

Step 1. Add your website to your Amazon profile
Go to your Your Associates Account settings and add additional websites to the list of Your Websites.
Step 2. Create unique tracking IDs
Amazon doesn't explicitly support creating different URLs for different websites.
Rather, you will need to create unique Tracking IDs which both encompass the information about which website the sale came from and which piece of content it was.
For example, using this pattern:
your-website-name, e.g. knittingisfun
blog-post-name, e.g. knitting-101
Which results in a combined tracking ID such as:
knittingisfun-knitting-101
Multiple websites on Impact
Go to your Settings, by clicking the three dots in the lower right corner:
Then, on the Settings screen, choose Marketplace Profile and scroll down to Promotional Properties:
Add any additional websites you want to track here.
Then, when you create your affiliate link, always expand Advanced in the Link Builder:
And choose your Property when you build the link:
This will ensure that each of your conversions is properly attributed to the right website.
Multiple websites on Booking.com
You can add multiple websites to a single Booking.com Affiliate account by adding it in the partner portal. Here's how.
Step 1. Go to your Promotional Spaces
Log in to the Booking Affiliate Platform.
In the top navigation bar, go to: Your account > Other affiliates.
Step 2. Add a new website
Click the button called Add a new affiliate and fill in your site details.
Now each of your websites will have their own AID (affiliate IDs). And you can use this to create unique affiliate links for each website.
Step 3. Create new affiliate links
Choose which website you want to use before creating your new affiliate links.
Multiple websites on CJ Affiliate
You can add multiple websites to a single CJ Affiliate account, here's how.
Step 1. Go to Account > Websites
Log in to the CJ Affiliate Dashboard.
In the gray top navigation menu, click "Account > Websites".
This will take you to the Promotional Property Manager.
Step 2. Click "Create Property"
TIP— If you get an error that you must have a "primary promotional property", and your second site is not the primary one, just press "Cancel" and go edit your other site and set it to be the primary property. Once done with that, go back and create the second site again.
You'll need to scroll down and fill out the details for this new website.
Your new website will show up in your list of properties, and then you'll see new Property IDs.
You will use those to split your commission reports between different websites in Affilimate.
Step 3. Create new links using this Promotional Property
Make sure that when you create affiliate links for your second site using the Deep Link URL Generator bookmarklet, you select the correct Promotional Property.
Multiple websites on Awin
Awin gives you the option to either add a new Content Site or to add a new Publisher Account when it comes to tracking multiple websites.

Most Affilimate users will want to add new Content Sites. Here's how to do that on Awin:
Step 1. Go to your Promotional Spaces
Log in to the Awin Dashboard.
In the top navigation bar, go to: Acccount > Profile > Promotional Spaces.

Click the shield icon above the screenshot of your website's homepage.
Follow the instructions to either add a meta tag to your website's header or upload an HTML file.
