Affiliate FAQ

How do I know these companies will pay me for the customers I send them?
Most sites work through CCBill, so your traffic is tracked by them.  Sites that don't use NATS and other third party tracking methods to insure all of your traffic is credited to you. We have heard of some companies that don't pay their bills, but we can say that we have not had any problems with the merchants we have links for here. We run numerous affiliate sites and blogs, we pick and choose the merchants we want to promote, and we can remove any merchant we choose to for any reason.

Keeping that in mind, if the merchants we have links for here didn't pay us for the sales and referrals that come from our sites, their links wouldn't be here!

Does it cost me any money to be an affiliate?
No. Affiliate programs are free. If you come across one that does want you to pay for anything, DON'T. It's probably a scam.

Do I have to host the banners and pics?
Many merchants host their own banners so you don't have to worry about using up disc space on your sever.  For those that don't, you will have to host their banners on your server if you want to use them.  The daily pics (shown at right and in our galleries section), galleries and movies are hosted by the merchants.

Why are the free sex toy websites free?
It doesn't cost the merchants anything to create an online store for you. Then, if you bring in sales, you both make money. It's a win - win situation for you both.

Do I have to deal with customers?
No. With an affiliate program, the merchants handle everything. You're like an advertising agency that is paid on commission.  Your only job is to bring in the customers.

How much money can I make?
Affiliate marketing is paid on a commission basis, so there is no salary and no guarantee of any kind that you will make any money, but SexToySex reported that they have paid their top affiliate over $50,000 in one month!  While this is not typical, some affiliates claim incomes in the six figure range annually.  The Passions Unchained family of websites are all affiliate sites, and if they didn't make us money, you wouldn't be here reading this now. While adding one or two links to a free blog may not make you enough money to retire on, what you do make is easy money for copying and pasting a few links into your web site or blog.

This is not a get rich quick scheme.  Like anything else that is legitimate, the more effort you put in it, the more money you will make.

Can I get more information from each merchant before I sign up?
Yes! Most sites have information in the webmasters area. The links we provide take you to the appropriate page where you can read about the merchant's affiliate program. To get even more information and to see their banners and other tools, just sign up and check them out. Some sites have an administration area with instructions, marketing tips, and even a toll free number for support.

What if I sign up as an affiliate and I don't like what the company has has to offer?
Then move on to the next merchant. Even after you sign up, you aren't required to do anything. Affiliate marketing is like running your own advertising agency, but on a commission basis. The merchant isn't paying you unless you make a sale, and there's no contract that requires you to add any of their links. This arrangement is preferable to paid ads because you aren't obligated to promote any merchant, or keep their links up if you find they aren't what you expected. We've signed up with numerous programs only to find they didn't offer our traffic what we require of our merchants, so we simply canceled our affiliation with them in favor of the sites that do meet our requirements.

Will they ask for a credit card to verify my age?
No, and we wouldn't trust a site that does. Unless you have an EIN number (EIN: Employer Identification Number or TIN: Tax Identification Number, it's all the same thing) you will have to provide your social security number. This is required by the government since a legitimate merchant has to report your earnings. Any site that doesn't ask for your SS or EIN probably isn't going to pay you. If you're worried about giving out your social security number online, you can get a free EIN online at the official IRS website (http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=102767,00.html). It's easier than it use to be too. No more need to file a Form SS-4. They ask you the questions and you give them the answers. After all validations are done you will get your EIN immediately.

What do I need to get started?
A  website or a blog. Although many affiliates work only through email, this isn't recommended. Because of the anti-SPAM laws, most companies will not work with an affiliate that doesn't have a legitimate website URL, and there are some companies that will not accept affiliates with only a free site or free blog.  In all honesty, you'll make more sales and have more control over a website you own than a free web site, and you can't get your own web site deleted like you can a free web site or free blog.

About CCBill Sites

Merchants that use CCBill make it easy for webmasters to affiliate with them through one site rather than signing up through each site independently.  Their control panel is easy to use for tracking your clickthroughs to make sure you're getting paid for the traffic you send. If you do not have a CCBill account, you only have to register once on any CCBill site. After that, you can use your account to add any other participating CCBill site quickly and easily.
Using CCBill for tracking is easy because you get a unique 7 digit ID code for each merchant you want to promote.  When you log in to a site, you use the code for that site and your code is automatically inserted into the links. You can instantly see if your code is in the HTML, and even f the site doesn't automatically insert your code, you can insert the code yourself into your HTML. Easy.
CCBill  doesn't have a lot of information for webmasters, but to get some information about CCBill, you can visit their website at CCBill.com
