Still wondering about a few things? Here’s a list of
our most frequently asked questions of our affiliate
managers – find the information you need!
General Affiliate Questions:
What is Gaypal.com.au
Gaypal.com.au is the
Australia's newest gay sex personals and swingers site. When it
comes to conversion rates and retentions, it is
very strong – beating our other
affiliate programmes in every category. Because
everybody wants sex, there is almost no type of traffic
can not convert.
What is Gaypal.com.au's affiliate programme?
Gaypal.com.au's affiliate programme is an easy-to-join
system that enables Webmasters to earn monthly pay
cheques by promoting one or more of the sites within our
diverse network.
How much
will I earn?
Our affiliate programme is the
HIGHEST PAYING ANYWHERE, with many affiliates making 75
cents per click or up to 100% of every premium
membership. The amount you earn is up to you, the more
traffic you send, the more money you will make.
Does it cost anything to
become an affiliate?
No. It costs absolutely
nothing to become an affiliate. In fact you can start
earning money almost immediately, because it takes just
a few minutes to sign up, and only a bit longer to put
our banner or descriptive text link onto your web
page.
Does my site qualify
for your Partner programmes?
As long as you
have a site that does not contain or promote illegal
activity or materials, you are welcome to become one of
our Affiliate Partners. We have no minimum traffic level
for you to worry about.
What does it mean to
co-brand a site?
Gaypal.com.au provides
its affiliates the opportunity to "co-brand" their site.
This means that when one of your viewers clicks one of
our banners, they will end up on a Gaypal.com.au
site, but they will see your prominently placed logo and
site name. This bolsters your credibility as a
legitimate service, not just another fly-by-night
Internet business.
Can I earn
money by referring other websites to sign up under my
account?
The broker programme allows you to
refer other webmasters to our affiliate programmes. When
a webmaster uses your link to signup to advertise Gaypal.com.au, we will pay you 50% of the first $200 in
commissions that we pay your referral affiliates, and
10% thereafter. Please note: if you are currently part
of our affiliate programme, a broker account is
automatically created for you.
I wish to join the
affiliate programme but my country is not listed in the
drop down menu. What do I do?
Due to past
negative experiences with affiliates from certain
countries, affiliates from those countries not listed on
the affiliate sign up page will not be able to join our
affiliate programme.
My Affiliate Account:
How do I check on the number of
clicks and/or sign-ups I have sent?
All stats
are updated daily and can be checked online. Your stats
page will reflect the progress of your account as well
as give you information regarding payment status. We
have also added graphs on the stats page to help you
view your performance trends and earnings in a
snap!
How do I post a banner
on my site?
To post a banner on your web site
please follow these steps:
1. Go to the site you are
affiliated with.
2. Click on the "affiliates" page
link at the top of the page.
3. Log in to your
affiliate account.
4. Click one of the "banners"
links in the list of programmes.
5. Copy the link in
the boxes under the banner(s) you like and paste it
directly onto your web page. You do not need to save the
banners to your computer.
Can I put up your banners on multiple
sites?
Yes, we encourage affiliates to
promote the same provided link on as many pages and/or
sites as you like. The more banners you put up the more
money you make!
Can I use the
same affiliate ID number for different Gaypal.com.au sites, or do I need to sign up as an
affiliate for each of your sites?
If you want
to promote more than one Gaypal.com.au site, all
you will need is your global partner ID. Click on the
"View All Programs" link in the navbar to find out more
about all of our sites.
How
do I permanently terminate my affiliate
account?
If you want to remove your affiliate
account from our database, please send us an email with
"Remove" in the subject and include the following
information: your affiliate ID number, company name,
name, and the specific Gaypal.com.au site you are
affiliated with.
Cheques and Payments:
How much money do I have to earn
before I am eligible to receive a cheque?
All affiliates must meet a $50 threshold
requirement minimum worth of commissions in order to
receive a cheque. If you do not meet the threshold, your
profit for that month will simply roll over to your next
month's earnings. Ultimately, you will get paid for all
your work.
When will I get
paid?
Portal Media, our third-party cheque vendor,
will cut cheques and mail them directly to you twice a
month. Please refer to the "Webmaster Notes" section on
your stats page for updates on your cheque processing
status.
Thank You!
My
account was converted to a percentage payout.
Why?
It is stated on our affiliate agreement
that if your traffic produces less than 1 free signup in
20 visitors, or 1 paying membership in 25 free signups,
your account may be converted retroactively to a
"percentage payout" account. Affiliates not meeting
these ratios will be converted at the end of each month.
By taking these measures we ensure it will be a win-win
for both parties involved.
I
had money in my account before I was converted, and now
it is gone. Do I still get it?
Once your
account is converted, your traffic is recalculated under
the new payout. The previous amount in your balance is
adjusted to reflect what is earned under the new
payout.
I have not received
one of my cheques posted on my stats page. What should I
do?
Please be sure to include your affiliate ID
number, the site you are affiliated with, the month and
the amount of the cheque in question, and we will get
back to you as soon as possible.
What do I do if I receive a cheque with the
incorrect information on it?
First, you will
need to send the cheque back to:
Gaypal.com.au Inc.
Attn: Affiliate Marketing
Department
PO Box 5204
Mermaid Waters, QLD.
4218
to request a new cheque. Please be sure to edit
your contact information so we can reissue a cheque with
the correct information. You can expect to receive a new
cheque within a few weeks.
Do
I need to send in a W-9 form in order to get
paid?
Internal Revenue Service Website and
fax it to +61 (07) 55 437 270.
If I
have more than one affiliate account, can you combine my
cheques into one?
Yes, you will receive a
consolidated cheque for each of your payable affiliate
accounts.
Can I have my
cheques deposited directly into my
account?
No, we are not able to offer any
special delivery or direct deposits for monthly payments
at this time.
My Statistics Page:
How do I access my statistics
page?
To access your stats page please follow
these steps:
1. Go to the site you are affiliated
with.
2. Click on the "affiliates" page link at the
top of the page.
3. Click on the "view reports" link
and sign into your account using your affiliate ID
number and password.
How do I
change the information in my profile?
To edit
your contact information you have entered during
enrollment, including payment information,
please:
1. Sign into your stats page.
2. Click
on the "edit" icon just to the right of your contact
information.
3. Once you have made the appropriate
adjustments be sure to click on the "Click to Update
Info" button at the bottom of the page.
To ensure
that the information on your cheque is correct and sent
to your current address, please make all changes before
the first of the month.
How often
is my statistics page updated?
We update your
stats page daily. Please note, your stats are not real
time and will not reflect new members immediately.
However, we are currently developing real time credit
card processing software which will allow you to keep
better track of your orders and earnings.
How long does it take for new free members
to show up on my stats page?
Before you
receive credit for users that join as free members,
their memberships must first be approved. This basic
screening process takes about 1 to 2 business
days.
It appears that not all
of my orders are showing on my stats page. What
happened?
All orders must be approved before
they will show up on your stats and you are given
credit. Expect some of these orders to not be approved
due to any of the following reasons:
1. The
credit card number supplied was incomplete, invalid, or
not accepted.
2. There was a typo on the order
form.
3. The credit card order was denied.
4. The
credit card was reported as lost or stolen.
5. The
order was a duplicate.
What is
the difference between "# Orders" and "# Members"
columns, on my stats page?
The "# Orders"
column tracks how many people have come from your site
and signed up as a paying member. The "# Members" column
tracks the people who have signed up as free
members.
How does Gaypal.com.au track visitors from my
site?
When you sign-up as an affiliate you
will be given a unique affiliate ID, which is the same
as the number at the end of your tracking URL that you
use to link to our site. We use this ID to tell us where
a referral has come from in order to credit that account
ID accordingly. If you forget to include your ID in a
referral URL, there is no way to accurately credit your
account, and you will not be paid for that portion of
your traffic.
Spam:
What forms of promotion can I
use?
The majority of our affiliates promote
Gaypal.com.au by placing our banners on their
sites, but you may also join chat rooms, online clubs,
etc. We strongly encourage you to remember chat room
rules- it is better to simply talk about the benefits of
meeting people on our site instead of just posting a
URL.
I just logged
into my account and it was banned. Why?
Gaypal.com.au does not condone cheating or spamming of
any nature. Any accounts suspected of cheating or
reported for spamming are immediately banned and all
payment voided. Extreme steps must be taken to protect
our company and legitimate affiliates. Typical affiliate
causes include:
1. People emailing us that your
affiliate ID was used in spamming activities.
2.
Creation of fake accounts.
3. High chargeback rates
(7% or greater).
4. Other inappropriate
actions.
What is considered
spam?
Spam is considered to be any attempt to
deliver unsolicited bulk mail over the Internet. Almost
all spam is commercial advertising. Potential target
lists are created by scanning Usenet postings, stealing
Internet mailing lists, or searching the Web for
addresses. Such information is gathered with automated
searches to retrieve email addresses for
spamming.
Do you allow blind
links?
Yes, you may send traffic any way you
like, blind text links, thumbnail links, or you can use
our proven banner, and text links.
