I recently create another account because i found out my username not suitable to be added at affiliate link..

as example : themeforest.net?ref=mojothemes I think username like this is not suitable..

So, I decide to make it like this, example : themeforest.net?ref=zxvwgdehfndjcn So, I need to create account with username : zxvwgdehfndjnc I think like this is better..

What do you think.. Can I make another account..

You can create multiple accounts, for purposes like these – just make sure it stays within reasonable limits. I’m not sure if there’s a hard limit, but when you’re creating more than 5-10 you need perhaps to reconsider your plan ;)

I have referred a bit more than that, this is just one account ;) Just create a blog and promote products you like on there and promote products at places where people are looking for themes, graphics, etc.

I heard they are working on campaigns for the affiliate program, then I won’t need to have that many accounts :)

I don’t understand why there would be anything wrong with having your real username at the end of your affiliate URL .

In fact I think it’s quite the opposite. Using your real affiliate link encourages people to trust you.

I have 4,500+ referrals and I’ve always used ?ref=wpexplorer for my links. 8-)

Yer stick with a single account. It will allow you to reach the withdrawal limits faster. Otherwise at the end of the month you might have $10 in each of your 5 referral accounts, but you cannot withdraw $10 to paypal. If you had a single account you would have $50 in that account, and you can withdraw this to paypal.

If you are creating multiple accounts for tracking purposes, I suggest you try using a single account with a link tracking service instead ( such as one of these or even http://goo.gl/ ). That way you can advertise your unique referral urls everywhere, and they all redirect back to your single envato account. Hope that makes sense!

at first, its interesting, that multiple accounts are allowed.

to my mind as buyer, i would prefer to get referred over mojothemes instead of zxvwgdehfndjcn. mojothemes creates a more fixed and trustable impression to me

I wouldn’t recommend using anything other than php cloaking simply because you are dependent on the shortening service. I used bit.ly before with all my links until one day I realized I had no referrals for a couple of days because bit.ly had removed all my links without explanation… so had to update 200+ links on my blogs.

Also, it doesn’t really matter if the link ends with ?ref=mojothemes or ?ref=zxvwgdehfndjcn when you cloak your links, but when you don’t that’s definitely something you have to keep in mind.
