Do you have an affiliate program?

We sure do and we went through a lot of effort, if we may say so ourself, to create an affiliate program where you can promote our link exchange solution. There are two possibilities:

1. Link to our website using your affiliate ID. Simply create an account and start linking to our website in less than 15 minutes.
2. We also offer a private label. A private label is in essence a copy of our website running on your website under your own name and in the layout of your own website. There is no reference to Site-Linker.com at all. Your visitors use our interface but it looks like it is your website, not ours.

What is a private label?

Private label means that your company name is shown throughout our link exchange interface. Affiliate programs increase brand awareness but with a private label solution, only your website's name is seen by online customers. This improves the perceived value of your website. Customers will be under the impression that you offer more services. Add our private label link exchange solution to your website by opening a free account and you will add profits to your bottom line. It is absolutely free and it only takes about 15 minutes. After that we do all the work.

Hosting is done on your own server. Your clients will never leave your domain name. There is no complicated API (application program interface) or protocol, just download a single file, upload it to your webserver and run it from your browser. That's all there's to it.

This file is called the remote client. The remote client is a single file and can be fully customised so that it is in your own website's look & feel (fonts, colors, etc.).

Do I need a website to join your affiliate program?

Yes. You can integrate our system into an existing website or you can register your own domain name and start a completely new website. In both cases you can offer link exchange services by (1) linking to us or (2) under your own name. In both cases you will have the possibility to optimize your pages and promote your new website or new services any way you see fit.

This service is completly free and it takes less then 20 minutes. All you have to do is upload just 1 single file to your website (what we call the remote client) and customize it so that it fits in your site's design.

What's so special about your affiliate program?

The amazing thing is that you will be able to offer the same possibility to your website visitors. You can offer your visitors the possibility to start their own link exchange website the same way you did. That way your visitors will become your affiliates and you can build your own network of link exchange portals. And you will earn from both: your own visitors and the affiliates' visitors.

For example: John signs up and is now our affiliate. He can either link to us or start his own link exchange solution (see private label for details). He gets a commission on every sale made. His makes money from his visitors. One of John's visitors is Jane. Jane has her own website. She can also become an affiliate. She will get a commission for every sale she makes from her own website and John will get his part. So John makes money from his own visitors and from his affiliates.

What is a 2 tier affiliate program?

With two-tier affiliate programs you earn commissions on your sales but you earn commissions also on sales made by websites that signed up for our affiliate program using your affiliate link. That is the second tier also known as sub-affiliates.

So we offer commissions generated by sales from your Web site and also secondary commissions from sites who sign up through you (called sub-affiliates). Even if you don't have a lot of traffic to your site, it is a very good idea to use our 2-tier program because they generate income from other Web pages you refer.

With a two-tier affiliate tracking system, not only are you rewarded for sending direct sales to our web site, you also get rewarded for encouraging other affiliates to join our affiliate program.

How much can I earn?

For every sale you make to a visitor to your website we pay you $1. For every sale made by one of your affiliates we pay your affiliate $1 and we pay you $1, too. So if you have 25 sales a month and you have 10 affiliates who also have 25 sales a month then you're making $225 a month. Each month...

If you have 100 affiliates or more, well, you can do the math. Affiliate programs can be very powerful.

Tip: the key is to start your own private label link exchange business and to promote to others to start their own link exchange business.

What is a remote client?

First of all you should know what a private label is. A pricate label is essentially our technology running on your own website. Only your website's name is seen by your customers. It is absolutely free and it only takes about 15 minutes to install it.

In order to start our link exchange solution on your website you have to download a single file, upload it to your webserver and run it from your browser. That file is what we call the remote client .

The remote client is a single file and can be fully customised so that it is in your own website's look & feel (fonts, colors, etc.).

Can I edit the remote client file?

Yes, you can customize your remote client design by opening it in your HTML editor. You will notice a CSS stylesheet in the remote client file. Change it as you want but don't change the code or you could miss some commissions.

Note: did you manage to fit our remote client in a really awesome or unusual design? Drop us a line! We'd love to see it.

How do I install the remote client?

The first thing to do is click [Settings] to set your preferences (your website name and slogan, URL to the remote client, etc.). This is important since the remote client uses some of the fields from your Settings page.

Then download the remote client file, create a /linkexchange folder on your webserver and upload the file to this folder. Run the file from your browser. Don't forget to add a link to this file in your website's menu. Edit the file as you wish to have it in your website's look & feel but don't change the code or you could miss some commissions.

Note: you can name the linkexchange folder anything you want.

Let's go over this one more time in more detail:

1. Login, select [Affiliate progam] from the menu and click the [Download your remote client] hyperlink.
2. You will see a new window with the option to Open, Save or Cancel the download. The download is verified and guaranteed free from viruses, spyware or any other maliciuos content.
3. Click Save to save the file to your hard disk. Remember in which folder you saved it.
4. Next you'll have to create a directory on your webserver called "linkexchange" (without the quotes). You'll need an FTP program such as FileZilla to do so.
5. Now you can upload the links file to your webserver in the /linkexchange directory.
6. Last but not least: open the file in your /linkexchange folder in your browser. Just copy/paste (or type) the URL in the address bar of your browser.

Note: you can name the linkexchange folder anything you want.

What is a referral?

A referral is when someone used your affiliate ID to signup. When your referral adds money in his or her account and pays for a website, you will earn your commission. It gets even better: you will get your commission every month for as long as your referral is a member. There's more. If your referral has a website and promotes Site-Linker.com he or she will get a commission on every sale he or she makes and you will get your commission, too. So you will make money from your own visitors but also from your referrals's visitors. This is called a 2 tier affiliate program.
