Affiliate FAQS

[admin]

Q. What is an

affiliate ?
A. An affiliate is anyone who promotes your goods/services in exchange for

payment based on the results.

Q. So how does it work ?
A. The process is best

described as follows

- You decide how much commission to offer to prospective affiliates

and begin affiliate recruitment.
- Affiliates apply to join your affiliate program and you

approve them after pre-screening.
- Your affiliates select your banner advertisements

containing tracked links using the provided control panel.
- Your affiliates display the

tracked advertisements on their web sites.
- A visitor to an affiliate's web site sees your

advertisement and clicks on it.
- The visitor is transported to your web site and the

tracking link identifies which affiliate referred the visitor. This is stored on the visitors

computer in the form of a cookie for a specified number of days.
- If the visitor makes a

purchase within the specified number of days, the affiliate's commission is calculated and read

into the affiliate software.
- Once the sale is considered valid, you approve the sale in

your password protected control panel.
- The affiliate sees the sale is approved using their

password protected affiliate control panel.
- Once the affiliate acheives your minimum

payment threshhold, they can raise an invoice for the total commission on approved sales.




Q. Why should I try affiliate marketing ?
A. Affiliate Marketing is rated as the

most cost effective way of bringing potential customers to your website (Forrester Research)

because you only pay if referred visitors actually make a purchase. Since you only pay your

affiliates for generated sales (normally a percentage of sale or a fixed fee) affiliate marketing

is 'RISK FREE'.

RvHunter.com enables you to provide webmasters with HTML linking code

that will display your banners and/or text links on their websites/emails. PartnerJunction then

tracks the number of times each link is displayed, the number of visitors who use the link to

find your website and the amount each referred visitor buys at your site. PartnerJunction then

keeps track of commission due to each affiliate and helps you manage commission payments.



Q. How does the banner impression tracking work ?
A. Every time a banner is served,

the banner and affiliate info is written to database. This ensures that low level tracking does

not degrade the banner serving performance through high volume realtime database transactions.



Q. How are sales tracked ?
A. When a visitor clicks on a banner, a cookie is placed

on their browser detailing the affiliate and banner clicked. If the visitor completes a sale then

the cookie is read to determine which affiliate referred the customer.
