I am a affiliate, Can I use your service?
No,
our submission
service is only available
to site owners, affiliate
managers, or their marketing
firms.
There
are few directories that
will accept submissions
from affiliates. In most
cases if the submission
is accepted your affiliate
linking code will be changed
to main URL or the directories'
own affiliate code. In
effect it would be a waste
of your time and money
to use our services.

Do you guarantee my program will be listed?
No,
we guarantee that your
program will be submitted
to each directory in the
proper format. Programs
are listed in each directory
at the owner's discretion.
We work with you before
any submissions are made
to ensure that your information
is accurate.

How many directories will my program be submitted
to?
This
is dependant upon your
site content, type of
affiliate program, type
of affiliates you accept
and the number of directories
you are already listed
with. Each directory uses
a different criteria.
For an estimate of how
many directories your
program will be submitted
to see our current services
page.
The
total number of directories
on our list actually changes
from day to day as we
discover new or inactive
directories.

Which directories do you submit to?
Once
we have completed your
submissions you will receive
a detailed report with
a list of all directories.
The report explains where
we submitted your program
and, if not why.

How long will the submissions take?
Average
time start to finish will
probably be 5 days. This
includes a conservative
estimate of 3 days preparation
time. Once we actually
begin your submissions
we can usually complete
all within 48 hours dependant
upon current volume.
Remember,
we are not 'blasting'
your program to all the
directories. There is
no need to rush this,
your submission, when
accepted, will remain
on a directory until your
program has ended. We
work with you before submitting
to make sure all information
is in order.

What do I do if my listing is rejected?
Each
directory has a criteria
they use as to which programs
they accept. To maximize
the number of the directories
that will accept your
listing; here are the
most avoidable reasons
you may receive a rejection.
- Required
reciprocal links were
not found on your site
- No
reply to validation
email request
- Directory
was denied request to
participate in your
program
- If
the above are satisfied,
contact us and
we will attempt to supply
a explanation.
Back to Top
Do I have to place the reciprocal links on
my site?
There
are a few directories
that indicate they are
required, some will not
accept submissions until
they see the reciprocal
link. Others simply request
that you extend them the
courtesy. We will give
you most of the required
graphics (others will
be emailed) and all requested
graphics.
In
some cases it will
make a difference in
their decision on accepting
your submissions, if
they see their link,
they will be more likely to
approve your listing.
In
the end, it will be
the Webmaster's discretion as
to which sites they
choose to list.

Our affiliate program if through a network,
and it is an exclusive relationship,
can we still use your service?
Yes,
no matter the type of
affiliate tracking network
or program you use, you
may use our services.
