How to send your community to LiveO2

There are 3 dif­fer­ent ways to reg­is­ter traf­fic to LiveO2. Reg­is­ter is our word which means our servers will remem­ber who you sent to see us. Our sys­tem is designed to make it as easy as possible. 

Link any Page on LiveO2 from any page on your Registered Website

Dur­ing set­up, you prob­a­bly reg­is­tered your main web­site to LiveO2. From now on… 

Any link your vis­i­tors click which goes to any LiveO2.com page will reg­is­ter that vis­i­tor with LiveO2. This lets you write about LiveO2 any­where on your site and link to any­thing in the LiveO2 sys­tem. Your con­tent cre­ators don’t need to remem­ber to use any spe­cial links unless they pre­fer to send traf­fic to your LiveO2 Splash Page.

What is a registered website?

This is the web­site you entered when you filled out the affil­i­ate appli­ca­tion form. 

Link to your Splash Page on LiveO2

If you are an affil­i­ate you prob­a­bly have a splash page on our serv­er. This is a co-brand­ed page with con­tent on our serv­er. This page is a sim­ple link that enables you to use it on any inter­net page like Face­book, a Youtube descrip­tion or any­place else that will allow your to pub­lish a link. 

Here is an exam­ple of one of our mar­ket­ing part­ner’s splash page: https://liveo2.com/a/oradix

This enables our part­ner to send emails or post this link to social media. Any first-time vis­i­tor who vis­its LiveO2 by this link will reg­is­ter to your affiliate.

Advo­cates — Don’t worry

You get a virtual splash page too!

If you haven’t had time to set­up a cus­tom splash page — don’t worry!

We sup­port vir­tu­al splash pages. A vir­tu­al splash page lets you send your com­mu­ni­ty to LiveO2 even before we pub­lish your spe­cial mes­sage. We do this with an invis­i­ble splash page that for­wards to the LiveO2 home page but iden­ti­fies you. 

Check your emails. Your vir­tu­al splash page is a link that looks like this:

https://liveo2.com/a/{Your-Affiliate-Number}

Why did we do all this?

Many pub­lish­ing plat­forms will allow sim­ple links but won’t accept links with URL parameters.

For the unini­ti­at­ed a URL Para­me­ter is a link that looks like this: 

https://liveo2.com?afid=Parameter‑1&Param2=Parameter‑2

This is nerd words where the ques­tion mark and the amper­sand tell the receiv­ing serv­er more infor­ma­tion about the inbound vis­i­tor. Lots of plat­forms like medium.com, face­book, twit­ter and the like pro­hib­it or dis­card spe­cial info in links but allow plain links like this https://liveo2.com/a/0

This lets any of our mar­ket­ing friends send us traf­fic with­out giv­ing these plat­forms any­thing to com­plain about.

A Link with the afid parameter

This is the com­mon way affil­i­ate sys­tems work. This is often used in emails. When a user clicks a link in an email:

• The email rec­og­nizes the string as a link
• The email pass­es the link to the default browser
• Which opens the link in the browser

This process accepts para­me­ters and this usu­al way to invite your email recip­i­ents to come to LiveO2.com, or broad­cast it to a mail­ing list. Here is what the link will look like in an email:

https://liveo2.com/any-liveo2-page?afid=<Your-Affiliate-Number>

But… Your splash page works too!
