B2B Affiliate Program

An affiliate program is a marketing arrangement where your website posts a banner, text ad, review, etc., that links to an online merchant's website. When your visitors click the link and make a purchase from the online merchant's website, you receive a commission on the sale. Does it cost anything to join an affiliate program? Nope. Sign up is free.

A cookie is technology that works with web browsers to store information like user preferences, login information, etc. For affiliate programs, cookies are used to track when a visitor to your site clicks on a link or banner and then follows that link and makes a purchase. This identifies you as the referrer of the sale and you get paid a commission.

EPC stands for Earnings Per Hundred Clicks. For example, a program with a $50 EPC would mean on average that for every 100 visitors a website refers, the affiliate earns $50 in commission.

You must also abide by the Deluxe affiliate terms and conditions regarding ad placement, PPC bidding, etc.

Every Deluxe affiliate website is unique. We do not impose any kind of standard template for design. Participation in the Deluxe Affiliate Program may actually complement your existing site by allowing you to integrate banner links in appropriate places to add value for your customers. One suggestion might be to frequently update or rotate banner ads and other creative materials in order to maintain optimal effectiveness.

The Commission Junction and ShareASale networks offer multiple online reports with information that's updated in real-time to make it simple to keep track of the impressions, click-throughs, orders, and commissions you've earned. You can actually determine the effectiveness of each link and see which products your visitors are buying. Run as many reports as you want, whenever you want.
