Is it possible to control where the referrals are taken to when they click an affiliate's links? For example, I want all referral links to take them to a sales or sign up page. How would I edit the plugin so it doesn't go back tot the affiliate's home page but rather to a page of my choice?

The main point of the plugin is to allow a user to link to some content on your site (that their readers would be interested in) and gain from it, which is why it keeps the user on the page they originally arrive at.
I think force redirecting an affiliate link to a signup page would be counter productive. If you want your affiliate members to send visitors to a specific page, then it may be simpler just to ask them to.
Interesting. That makes sense. I didn't quite understand that before. I thought the goal of affiliates was to have them send business back to the site.
I'll play with this idea some. Thank you very much for clearing that up for me!

If you just ask your affiliates to direct people to a specific sales page, how do you track which affiliate gets credit?
