Link Glossary: Deep Link

Posted on Apr 14, 2008 in Affiliate Marketing |

Deep Link:

  • Linking to a webpage buried within a website. These pages are referred to as “deep” because they are often two or more directories deep within a website.

Deep linking is important to affiliate marketers. An affiliate link that goes right to the product being advertised is more likely to convert to a sale than a link that goes to a general home page or landing page. As a common linking courtesy you should always deep link for the benefit of readers to get them right to the information you are citing.
