Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is an affiliate program? How does it 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 referral commissions.
When a visitor to your site clicks on the affiliate link to our site and completes a purchase, you get a commission
on every item they buy!
We have partnered with Webtech PRO to provide our affiliates with tracking, reporting, prompt monthly payments,
and the flexibility of being an affiliate for any of Commission Junction's other merchants.
Here you can log in at any time to get our banners and links, find out about commissions earned and even learn
about how many impressions each of your links has received.
