Deep linking is the practice of creating affiliate links that direct visitors to a specific page on the platform rather than the homepage, increasing relevance and conversion potential.
Quick answer: Deep linking means your affiliate link sends the visitor to a specific page on the cam site, such as a particular performer's room or a category page, instead of the generic homepage. This increases conversion because the visitor sees content relevant to what attracted them.

Do deep links still track my affiliate referral properly?
Yes, as long as you construct the deep link using the platform's affiliate URL format. The tracking happens at the redirect level before the visitor reaches the destination page. Your affiliate cookie is set regardless of the final landing page.
Can I deep link to a specific performer's page?
Yes. On most cam platforms you can deep link to any public page including performer rooms, category pages, tag pages, and even specific features like the token purchase page.
