How does the affiliate program work?
Once you have created an account and have logged
into it you will see an area called "Affiliate Banners." Within
this area you can choose from several Gluten-Free Mall® image banners or
text links that you will put within your Web site. These links have a
special affiliate code that will track visits and purchases made by visitors who come to our site through yours. You can create custom links to specific
products within our site, or junk link to our home page. Just cut and past the code from
the link you want to use into your Web site to begin generating sales
and making money. |

Will I get paid for banner impressions or visitors who do not make a purchase?
No, like most affiliate systems all affiliate earnings
are based solely on a percentage of actual sales recorded from affiliate
referrals. |
top
How much will I make for each sale generated by my affiliate links?
We pay you 5% of product sales--this percentage does
not include the shipping amount or any taxes associated with each order. |

How can I check my Affiliate account statistics?
Simply log in
to your affiliate account with your email and password to gain access
to your statistics. In the Affiliate Reports area you will find a detailed

your affiliate links. |

Payment is sent only for affiliate accounts with
$50 or more due from the prior month. Checks are printed and mailed on
the 15th of each month. There is a $5 processing fee for printed checks
to be mailed domestically (U.S. only. International affiliates requiring
printed checks will incur actual postage plus a $3 handling fee). Please

Are affiliates considered employees--are taxes withheld from their earnings?
No, affiliates are not Gluten-Free Mall® employees and are considered independent contractors. As such they are subject to the tax laws that govern independent contractors for
the state where they do business. We do not withhold taxes from affiliate earnings, and it is their responsibility to pay taxes
on the money they earn as affiliates in our program. |
top
Which links generate the most clicks and sales?
By far the graphical banner links to our home page
generate the most clicks and sales. The larger the banner the more clicks
and sales it will generate. You can experiment with the various banners that we offer to see which one works best for your site. |
top
Where on my site should I place the banners/links?
Many studies have shown that the areas on Web pages that have the highest click through rates are located in the top-area of a site's home page, and that the top-right area
may be the best position for the most click-throughs. |
