UpMarch, while has included an affiliate marketing model for its associates to profit from, has also addressed the issue of link trimming and eliminated that leakage possibility. Moreover, with its gate pass system, associates were able to market UpMarch products and opportunity both online and offline with equal ease.

UpMarch provides two types of link buttons.
1] Button code with provision to add associate's Public_Gate_Pass. this button can be linked directly to UpMarch lobby.

2] A static button with associate's personal data included to the link URL and directed to Insta-Page. A link to the page where details on buttons usable with Insta-Page [Your instant web page] is given below.

At UpMarch, actual tracking begins only after the visitor submits the media associate issued Gate_Pass. Since this happens ON site, it is not possible for  that associate's referral credit is bypassed as in normal affiliate link buttons.

The Gate_Pass system thus is very effective in ensuring that the credit due to the associate is passed on. Moreover this Gate_Pass system allows much more flexibility in adaptation of various marketing modes.

UpMarch graphic button adds this extra Gate_Pass layer, which in effect, is very much like entering a security turing number to stop form spamming.

A visitor at associate's site, instead of simply click-follow the button link, will copy the Gate_Pass and follow the UpMarch graphic button. At UpMarch, may simply paste or type referring associate's Gate_Pass.
