-----------------------
Note for Deeplinking: Affiliates that want their traffic to bypass the Viking Home/landing page and send traffic straight to either our Consumer or Business channel can do so by adding an extra tag to the end or their destination URL.
· To send traffic to the business channel, add &browsemode=business to the end of their destination URL
· To send traffic to the consumer channel, add &browsemode=consumer to the end of their destination URL

So, for example, irrespective of a customers cookie settings or past browsing history, the following link would take customers to copier paper on our consumer site.. http://www.viking-direct.co.uk/catalog/catalogSku.do?id=9537&browsemode=consumer

added 11/04/08: **Please note that although Viking Direct are now selling stamps, however affiliates will not be paid commission for promoting these due to incredibly tight margins.**

If you have any questions about implementing this, please contact hero@webgains.com.
