    They allow the affiliate to pass along tracking information.

    As a basic example, say an affiliate is running a ppc campaign, they'd want to pass either the keyword or some identifier along with the link to show which keyword converted to a sale.

    I see. No this isn't currently tracked.

    I wish they would add this, I've requested it in the past. It would make this a lot better for affiliate marketers.

    I would really love to see subid's added as well. If this simple feature was there already, I wouldn't have to shop around for separate affiliate software :(

    Would be really cool to have that feature. Is there a way to manually customize amember to support it?

    I mean, mostly it's just about appending a parameter to the url (e.g. http://example.com/amember/aff/go?r=1&i=1&subid=something), all we need is to be able to see display that parameter in the stats...

    Yes, this is a must for any customer of aMember who wants to grow their affiliate program. Without subid tracking, some people will choose not to become affiliates because no data into their marketing efforts is provided back to them.
