Anybody on Aliexpress affiliate program? Help needed

Hi there! I've recently joined Aliexpress affiliate program and I'm starting to get some organic traffic. However, I don't understand very well a few things, and since support seems to be nonexistent, I would appreciate your help here:

1) Is there any way to link directly to a search page or a seller?

2) In the Order reports, what's the difference between Advertising clicks and Product clicks? From 104 clicks on my website, 9 conversions is a pretty decent ratio, but 9 from 2253 Product clicks is very poor one. Does it really mean that 104 people coming from my website have viewed 2253 single products?

3) On Traffic Report, I get these statistics:

SAP PV Session Cookie SAR
15 673 47 46 32%

I don't get what SAP and SAR mean. I guess PV is product views. And why session and cookie numbers are differents? Shouldn't be the user cookied always?

Thank you very much for your time!

Have you checked the help centers for answers? http://portals.aliexpress.com/help/help_center.html

Yes, but Glossary section is empty. Or at least I can't see it.

Thanks anyway!

Hi,
Try View source of the glossary page - it has all in there.
advertising clicks are hits from your links and product clicks are views on product page.

maybe you can help me too - I have noticed that if someone with an android device click on a link on my site and instead of opening a browser he is opening the ali express mobile app- I dont get the commission.
do you notice that?

Click to expand...

SAP (Single Access Page) - the number of sessions of users who viewed single page
PV (Page View) - the number of page views
Sessions - The number of all sessions
Cookies - the number of 30 day cookies
SAR (Single Access Rate) - the number of session which bounce: SAR = SAR/session.

Hi I am new to Aliexpress affiliate Marketing. I have some mobile games at both Googleplay and Applestore. Are we allowed to add in like images and direct them to out affiliate link at both appstores? Also At Adcenter there are like ongoing promotions and says getcode. But when I click those link they get you another page with more products. Will I get commision when the buyer buys those products?? Thank You!!
