You can set up the various links you want to use and then, instead of linking directly, you use the tracking link WHMCS gives you.

		+	==How Link Tracking Works==
		+
		+	When the click passes through WHMCS the system increments the count by one, but also sets a cookie on the user's computer to say they used that link. The system only stores the latest link they used, so a conversion never counts more than once. The cookie lasts for three months, so if a user then places an order with that cookie still present on their computer, the conversion count for that link increases.

		+	===Add a Tracked URL===
		+
		+	To do this:
		+
		+	#Click '''Add a New Link'''.
		+	#Enter a name to identify the link.
		+	# Enter the URL to forward the user to.
		+	#Click '''Add Link'''.
		+
		+	===Get the URL to Use for Tracking===
		+
		+	To do this:
		+
		+	# Click the edit icon next to the desired URL.
		+	#The '''Link/URL''' field on the edit page will show the link you need to use (for example, <tt>http://example.com/link.php?id=1</tt>).
		+	#Link to that URL from the location in which you run the promotion.
