The NATSCode is the special part of a URL that NATS uses to credit an affiliate and record statistics.  The NATSCode is different for each affiliate, program, site, and [[ct#Adtool|adtool]]. To get the NATSCode, start with an affiliate's linkcode.  For example:
 
 
The following is all of the information stored in the NATSCode:
 
*'''Affiliate Username''' - The username of the affiliate who referred this surfer.
 
*'''Programid''' - The numeric id of the program that the surfer's transaction will be paid out under.
 
*'''Siteid''' - The numeric id of the NATS site your surfer is trying to visit.
 
*'''Tourid''' - The numeric id of the site's tour that your surfer will be redirected to (See [[NATS4 Sites Admin|Sites Admin]] for details).
 
*'''Affiliate Campaignid''' - The numeric id of the campaign associated with the affiliate.
 
*'''Adtoolid''' - If the surfer followed a link code associated with an [[ct#Adtool|adtool]], this will represent the numeric id of the adtool the surfer saw.
 
*'''Subid1 & Subid2'''
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
To get the NATSCode from an encoded linkcode, start with an affiliate's linkcode.  For example:
 
  
 
<pre>
 
<pre>
Line 34: Line 21:
 
</pre>
 
</pre>
  
In most NATS URLs, the NATSCode is easy to identify because it's the only word that doesn't resemble English. In an unencoded linkcode, all of the information is stored as seperate numbers rather than a jumble of letters. For more information, see our [[NATS4 Affiliate Link Codes]] article.

The NATSCode is the special part of a URL that NATS uses to credit an affiliate and record statistics. The NATSCode is different for each affiliate, program, site, and adtool. To get the NATSCode, start with an affiliate's linkcode. For example:

http://example.com/track/MS4yLjEuNS4wLjAuMC4w

The NATSCode is the arbitrary string that follows track/ -- MS4yLjEuNS4wLjAuMC4w in this case. The NATSCode won't always be at the end of a URL. For example:

http://example.com/track/MS4yLjEuNS4wLjAuMC4w/join

The NATSCode doesn't include /join. The NATSCode also doesn't always follow track. For example:

http://example.com/signup/signup.php?nats=MS4yLjEuMS4wLjAuMC4w

In most NATS URLs, the NATSCode is easy to identify because it's the only word that doesn't resemble English.
