Can You Promote a Brand Homepage Without a Deeplink?
You can promote a brand’s homepage without using a deeplink.
Instead of linking to a specific product, you can generate and share an affiliate link for the brand’s homepage.
When Should You Promote a Homepage?
- General brand promotions (e.g. “Shop on Shopee”)
- Campaigns or mega sales (e.g. 11.11, 12.12)
- Content featuring multiple products
- When you want users to browse deals
How It Works
- Copy the brand’s homepage URL
- Paste it into the Deeplink Generator
- Generate your affiliate link
- Share it in your content
No product-specific link is needed – your link will track all purchases made from that session.
Homepage vs Deeplink: What’s the Difference?
| Feature | Homepage Link | Product Deeplink |
|---|---|---|
| Destination | Brand homepage | Specific product or page |
| Best Use Case | General promotions, campaigns, multiple products | Product reviews, recommendations, comparisons |
| Conversion Rate | Lower (user needs to browse) | Higher (direct to product) |
| User Experience | More steps to purchase | Faster path to purchase |
| Flexibility | Promotes the entire brand | Targets specific items |
| Tracking | Tracks all purchases from the session | Tracks specific product/page conversions |
| Performance | Better for awareness | Better for conversions |
Tip: Use homepage links for broad promotions, but use deeplinks when recommending specific products for better results.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using homepage links instead of product links (where possible)
- Promoting without approval for the offer
- Not using campaigns or deals
- Not tracking performance

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I generate an affiliate link on Involve Asia?
To generate an affiliate link on Involve Asia, log in to your dashboard and access the Deeplink Generator. Copy the URL of the product or brand page you want to promote, paste it into the generator, and click “Generate Deeplink.” The system will create a unique tracking link that is tied to your account. You can then use this link in your content, and any valid actions (such as purchases) made through it will be tracked as your earnings.
Do I need approval before using affiliate links?
In most cases, you need to apply and be approved for a brand’s offer before you can earn commissions. While you may still be able to generate a link, it will not track or credit your earnings properly unless you are approved. This ensures that brands can review your traffic sources and content before allowing promotion. Always check your approval status in the dashboard before sharing links.
Should I use a homepage link or a product deeplink?
Both options are useful depending on your content strategy. Homepage links are ideal for general promotions, such as highlighting a brand or promoting major campaigns like 11.11 or 12.12 sales. Deeplinks, on the other hand, direct users to a specific product page, making them more effective for reviews, recommendations, or comparison content. In most cases, deeplinks generate higher conversion rates because they reduce the steps a user needs to take before purchasing.
How do affiliate links track my earnings?
Affiliate links contain a unique tracking ID that identifies you as the source of the referral. When a user clicks your link, a tracking cookie is placed in their browser. If the user completes a valid action, such as making a purchase, within the tracking period, the system records the transaction and attributes it to your account. You can then see the results in your Conversion Report, where your commissions are calculated and updated accordingly.
Where can I track my clicks and earnings?
You can monitor your performance directly in the Involve Asia dashboard. The Performance Report shows how many clicks your links are receiving, helping you understand traffic trends. The Conversion Report displays confirmed sales, conversions, and your earnings. By reviewing both reports regularly, you can identify which links, products, or content types are performing best and optimise your strategy to increase your affiliate income.
