How to Does an Affiliate
Program Work? |
|
|
An affiliate program is a revenue sharing program where the affiliate
(that's you!) drives traffic to a merchant's web site (that's us!) in exchange for a referral commission. When a visitor to your site clicks on the affiliate link to our site... and completes a purchase... you get a commission on each and every item they buy!
Once you sign up for and are accepted to our Affiliate Program, you'll be sent an email directing you to our log-in page where you'll be given a unique Affiliate ID. You can log into this page at any time to get custom-formatted banners, images and text links and to track your commissions earned. |

How are Sales Tracked
from My Site? |
|
|
After your application has been processed, you will be sent an email giving log in access to our main affiliate page where you will be given a unique Affiliate ID. From that page, you will have access to custom-formatted links for banner ads, text links and product images that will ensure that traffic coming in to us from your site is properly tracked. We maintain a 180-day cookie, meaning that if a visitor clicks on a link from your site, you are credited with the sale as long as the visitor purchases within that first six months. Because HandyDeck Decking Tiles are a somewhat a seasonal product, this approach allows you to receive commission for a sale where, for example, the customer first see our product in October from a link on your site, but decides to wait until Spring to actually purchase. |
|
|
|
How Much Will I Earn? |
|
|
All new affiliates earn a commission of 10% based on the total invoiced sales value, with a cookie length of 180 days. Affiliates who generate more than $10,000 worth of sales in any calendar month will receive a bonus commission of 2% for that month! |
|
|
|
How are Transactions
Recorded? |
|
|
All transactions from your web site are recorded in real time... meaning that all impressions, links and sales are tracked instantly. The affiliate area of our site has various reports and tracking resources to let you know how your links are performing. You can use these reports to find out which of your links are performing the best and to optimize your site for maximum sales value. |
|
|
|
How and When Do I Get
Paid? |
|
|
Affiliates are paid when the commission balance reaches a minimum value of $100... or monthly, if commissions exceed $100 in any calendar month. You have the choice of being paid by PayPal or by check. |
|
|
|
How Do I Create Links? |
|
|
You can get links... including text links and banners ads... from the main Affiliate Program log-in page. You can even create links of your own, as long as they don't violate any of our affiliate policies. |
