Frequently
Asked Questions
What is an Affiliate Program?
An affiliate program allows you to place links to our products
on your web site. By placing these links, visitors to your site
have the opportunity to buy products. If a product is purchased
through a link on your web site, we pay you a commission for each
sale.
Why should I join? There are many
reasons to join! Becoming an affiliate is free, and you'll make
money with very little effort. As an affiliate, you can add value
to the content of your site. We take the customer order and handle
all payments. All you do is cash the check!
Does it cost me anything to become an Affiliate? No! It's
absolutely free to join our Affiliate Program. There is no charge
to apply and there is no minimum sales requirement.
Can a web site outside the United States
be an Affiliate? Yes. We welcome Affiliates from anywhere
in the world; however, customers that buy from our site must pay
in U.S. dollars. All commission payment checks to Affiliates are
in US dollars
I operate more than one web site. Can
I still be an Affiliate? Yes. You can have multiple sites
as an Affiliate. You can have one Affiliate account with us that
will include all of your sites. You can track the progress of
each of your sites separately and be paid with only one commission
check.
How do I sign up? First, you must
read and accept our Affiliate Agreement. Then, you complete our
online application form. After your application is submitted,
we will send you an Email with information on how to get started.
How does the program work? An Affiliate
Program allows you to make money by referring customers to our
web site. You do this by placing links on your site. Every time
you refer a customer to us and that customer makes a purchase,
you earn a commission. In every month that you have earned more
than $25, we send you a check for a percentage of the sales you
referred to our site. It's that easy!
Is my web site eligible to become an
Affiliate? Most sites will qualify to participate in the program.
Anyone may submit an application, but we do reserve the right
to refuse membership to a site or revoke a site's membership at
any time if we deem that it contains objectionable material.
What are my responsibilities an as Affiliate?
The only thing you are responsible for is using the tag generator,
creative, and links, so you can create and place links on your
site. We handle everything else.
How Do I Enroll in Your Affiliate Program?
To begin the enrollment process you must submit a completed Affiliate
Program application. Upon receipt of your application we will
evaluate it and notify you of its acceptance or rejection. Although
we hope your application will be successful, we reserve the right
to reject or cancel applications for any or no reason. For example,
we may reject or cancel your application if we determine that
your site is unsuitable for the Program
What are our responsibilities? We
will provide you with the tools and support you need to maximize
sales through your site. We also handle orders, shipping, and
billing for all customers you refer to us.
I don't have a web site Can I still
apply? Unfortunately, no. In order for us to accept you as
an Affiliate, we must be able to view your web site.
What if I operate more than one web
site? You can have multiple sites under one affiliate account.
You can create links specifically for each site and generate separate
reports for each site. You will receive one commission check for
all sites.
How do I change my account information?
Once you have been accepted as an Affiliate, you will be given
access to our affiliate area, so you can modify your account information.
Will becoming an Affiliate increase
traffic to my site? Our Affiliate Program is a revenue-sharing
program. It is not designed to help you increase traffic to your
site; however, it enhances your site with content, so your user
return rate may be higher. You will also be given access to our
online affiliate support forum so you can learn how to increase
traffic to your site and earn more money.
SETTING UP LINKS
How do I create links? We have an
page upon approval which you will be directed to which will explain
the simple process. It is so easy to use even beginners can create
links in seconds.
Where should I place the links on my
site? You should place links where they are easy for your
site visitors to find, such as your homepage. Some areas you may
want to place your links include your home page, your navigation
bar, and any other traffic areas. If you place the links in an
easily accessible location on your site, your visitors will be
more likely to make a purchase.
How often should I update my links?
You should update links to our products frequently. We are constantly
adding new products, so you should create new links that fit the
interests of your visitors. Using our dynamic full page creatives
you can have fresh content on your site everyday.
Can I use your content on my site?
Yes!
How much can I earn? We can't predict
how much you will earn from our Affiliate Program because we don't
know anything about your web site or your visitors. We will tell
you that we have affiliates earning thousands of dollars every
month.
How do I know how much commission I've
earned? Through affiliate interface you can access reports,
which are updated daily, that provide information on impressions,
click thorough, orders, shipments, and commissions earned.
How often do I get paid? We will
send you a check for a percentage of the sales you referred to
our site every calendar month, provided you earned more than $25.
Do I earn commissions on my own purchases?
No. When you buy products from us please do so directly upon checking
out indicate your affiliate code. We will apply a discount. There
are some limitations
What about product returns? If a
user returns a product for a refund, or if credit card charges
are reversed due to a dispute or credit card fraud, your account
will be debited for any commission earned on that transaction.
How can I monitor my sales? You
can monitor your sales by accessing reports as often as you like
through our affiliate interface.

service? We do all of that for the customers that you refer
to our site. All you have to do is place links on your site. We
do the rest!
How will you know that the orders came
from my site? All links from your site to our site contain
a unique identifier so that every time a user comes to us via
your site, we know to credit you when a purchase is made. This
is only possible, though, when you create all of your links with
the tag generator on our affiliate interface.

can view reports daily if you wish. Our affiliate reporting area,
