 * Please clarify. Does the external link carry your affiliate-id to the new external
   page/tab? For example if you have a product and the user is purchasing or viewing
   on Amazon (after clicking the link button), is your affiliate-id still attached
   to the newly opened page/tab?
    Thanks

 * It carries exactly the URL you provide, so the answer is yes: You can include
   an affiliate ID in the URL.
