Does your site or program qualify for a listing?
This is a directory of revenue sharing (associate, affiliate, referral, pay-per-sale, pay-per-lead, reseller or partnership) programs, NOT pay-per-click programs. We list affiliate NETWORKS, but not companies which operate simple pay-per-click programs. However, if a pay-per-click program adds useful content to a website, such as a news service or a search box, we’ll list it. Also, if a pay-per-click program also has a two-tier referral program, we’ll list it.
- NO multi-tier programs, projects, plans, themes or companies. Only one-tier and two-tier programs are listed.
- NO adult programs.
- NO X-rated programs or URLs.
- NO non-English language programs or sites.
- NO adware or spyware.
- NO ad-filtering programs.
- NO pre-launch announcements. If you don’t have a working program yet, we won’t list it yet.
- NO anonymous businesses. Some sites don’t give a person’s name, company name, street address or any useful contact info. If the company doesn’t put its physical address – such as street and city – on the site we don’t want to list it. We like to know who we’re dealing with. We’re sure you do, too.
If you are an associate of a company which is already listed, sorry, we cannot accept your submission. Rebranding, repackaging or disguising the deal under another name does NOT allow you a listing.
No website? If the company has no website, sorry, this isn’t the place to list it.
No tracking? If the company does not mention a reliable system for tracking sales and commissions, we don’t list it.
No program details? Details of the affiliate program must be published on the website.
Free web host? If the site is hosted by Hypermart or another free web host it has a serious credibility problem. We?
