How can I qualify for your affiliate program?

Monetizeit.net is selective about the types of affiliates we accept in order to meet our high standards of service for both our affiliates and advertisers.

 

  • Incentive sites must specify that they are incentive based affiliates via the signup form.
  • Email list owners (i.e. newsletter publishers) must adhere to CAN-SPAM and use opt-in only methods of acquiring their addresses.
  • Affiliates must supply a W-9 for tax purposes.

 

By making sure that we communicate with our affiliates and advertisers about the offers and advertiser restrictions, we are able to pass higher payouts on to our affiliates. Our focus is not on quantity of affiliates but quality. The same goes for the offers we carry. We would rather carry 50 amazing offers that convert very well versus 500 with only 3 good converters.

 

If you are interested in joining the network, simply fill out the information on the affiliate application, and you will be either approved or contacted for more details about your site or distribution methods.


 


Are there any fees or costs to join Monetizeit.net?

There are no costs involved in becoming a Monetizeit.net affiliate or advertisers. There is simply an approval process to ensure sure that our advertiser's offers perform well and our affiliates adhere to our terms and conditions.


 

Do you support a referral program (tiers)?

Yes, you can earn commission on the earnings of affiliates whom you refer to Monetizeit.net. The breakdown is as follows:

  • You make 3% of your referred affiliate's gross revenue for the entire time you are a Monetizeit.net affiliate.
  • You can run reports to show the revenue based on referred (2nd tier) affiliates.

 

How does an affiliate program work?

An affiliate is a "reseller". Someone visits your site or reads your email newsletter, and they click a link to an offer and complete a purchase or submit their contact information to an advertiser. Depending on the offer and the advertiser, you will be paid a commission on either the sale or the lead (information submitted). Commissions can range from 40 cents to $500 depending on the offer you choose to promote.



 What ad types do you accept and carry?

We currently accept campaigns that are in the following IAB standard formats:

Standard Banners (468X60)

Leaderboards (728X90)

Rectangles (300X250)

Skyscrapers (120X600)

HTML Pop-Ups

HTML Pop-Unders

Text Ads

All creatives are subject to approval and testing by Monetizeit.net.

 

What types of sites do you accept in your network?

Any site can be accepted into our network as long as they adhere to our terms and conditions. We do not tolerate SPAM, nor do we accept known spammers into our site.

 

What's the minimum web site traffic requirement?

A qualified web site should receive around 1,000 unique visitors per month.




What do all these acronyms stand for? CPM, CPC, CPA

CPC: Cost per Click

If you are paid 50 cents per click and the banner you are showing on your site received 500 clicks, then you will be paid $250.00

CPA: Cost per Acquisition, an acquisition can be a sale or lead.

 If you place a banner on your site for a mortgage loan that pays $20.00 CPA (for every lead), and 10 people who visit your website click on that link and fill out the application, then you will be paid $200.00

 CPM: Cost per thousand impressions

 If you place a banner on a site that charges $5 CPM, then you would pay $5 for every thousand times it is viewed. If the banner is viewed 10,000 times in one month, you will pay $50.00

 Currently, Monetizeit.net only pays on a CPA basis.

 

When are my account's statistics updated?

Your statistics are real-time. This means that you can log in, anytime, 24/7 to review your statistics. And for those of you running PPC campaigns, this means you can check your conversion real-time. Click here for PPC reporting tips.




 When do I get paid?

Monetizeit.net pays Affiliates on a NET 15-day basis from the end of each calendar month. Payments will be sent provided your account has reached a minimum of $25.00 in accrued revenues. Accounts with a balance of less than $25.00 will roll over to the next month. Unlike other networks who boast prompt payments as a unique added feature, Monetizeit.net treats this as a standard of good service and not a special item. We pay on time, period.

 

What is your minimum payment policy?

$25.00 is the minimum amount that needs to be generated from your account before we issue a check. Amounts below $25.00 will be rolled over to the next pay period.
