How does AffiliateRunner’s
Cost-Per Sale tracking technology
work? |
| |
Affiliates place
banner and text links on their
websites. When a websurfer clicks
a link, he is redirected to the
Merchant website and the following
happens: |
| |
- |
This action is
recorded by AffiliateRunner. |
| |
- |
A cookie is established
on the Websurfer’s computer |
| |
When the Websurfer
makes a purchase: |
| |
- |
The cookie on his
computer informs AffiliateRunner
of this action. |
| |
- |
The appropriate
commission is calculated by AffiliateRunner.
|
| |
- |
The Merchant and
Affiliate are informed via e-mail
of the sale and the commission
owed. |
|
|
| » |
What if the
purchaser makes his purchase at
a later date? |
| |
Due to the use of
cookies, AffiliateRunner
is able to track sales that happen
at a later date. If a websurfer
clicks a link, then makes a purchase
a few months later, the Affiliate
will have earned commissions for
this sale. |
| |
|
| » |
Is Cost-per-Click
tracking available? |
| |
Yes. CPC tracking,
by which an Affiliate is paid
every time a unique user clicks
on the link, is also available.
When a websurfer clicks on the
link, this activity is recorded
by AffiliateRunner.
If someone clicks the link a second
time from the same computer, this
activity is NOT recorded. The
Merchant is thus protected from
fraud. |
| |
|
| » |
What is Cost-Per-Lead
tracking? |
| |
Some Merchants are
not trying to sell a product,
but instead are trying to get
Websurfers to perform another
action, such as registering for
an eNewsletter or another service.
CPL tracking operates in the same
way as Cost-Per-Sale tracking,
but commissions are earned when
the Websurfer performs the desired
action. |
|
|
| » |
Can Affiliates
promote our site in email messages? |
| |
E-mail referrals
are an excellent way to generate
sales! Affiliates can place banners
or text links into e-mails. Link
activity is tracked in the same
way. |
|
|
| » |
How do Merchants
and Affiliates follow their progress? |
| |
Merchants and Affiliates
can access their sales records
at the AffiliateRunner
website on their Personal Profile
Pages. |
|
|
| » |
Does the Affiliate
receive commissions on sales that
are made over the phone or via
fax? |
| |
The AffiliateRunner
tracking system automatically
registers sales that are made
via internet only. It is possible
for the Merchant to manually register
sales that are made via phone
or fax. |
|
|
| » |
How do Affiliates
receive commission payments? |
| |
At the end of each
month, the Merchant and Affiliate
will receive a summary of all
activity for that period. Commission
payments should be made monthly.
The Merchant makes payments by
company check, wire transfer,
or direct deposit. |
|
|
| » |
Can the Merchant
pay Affiliates only when they
reach a certain amount of sales
revenues? |
| |
Yes. This must be
specified to the Affiliate, so
as to avoid any confusion. |
|
|
| » |
Does AffiliateRunner
find Affiliates for the Merchant? |
| |
The Merchants must
seek and register their own Affiliates.
But we do offer a related
service. |
|
|
| » |
Can the Merchant
remove Affiliates from the program? |
| |
The Merchant has
full control over who is allowed
to participate. An affiliate can
be removed either temporarily
or permanently at any time. However,
all outstanding commission payments
must be made. |
|
|
| » |
What is a 2-tier
commision? |
| |
When an Affiliate
refers a new Affiliate to the
Merchant, who signs up for the
program, the 1st Affiliate makes
a small commission off the 2nd
one’s sales. In this way,
Affiliates are encouraged to find
the Merchant new partners. |
|
|
| » |
Is AffiliateRunner
compatible with my shopping cart
provider? |
| |
We do our best to
make AffiliateRunner
compatible with 3rd party Shopping
Cart providers. Setting up the
system takes personal attention.
We assist Merchants in getting
set up. |
|

to the number of Affiliates I
can have? |
| |

type. |
|
|
| » |
Do I have to
commit to your service for a certain
amount of time? |
