Frequently Asked
Questions
|
| What are the benefits to me of becoming an Aurora OffRoad Affiliate? |
You get the following benefits when you join the Aurora OffRoad Affiliate program:
|
| Are
there any hidden costs? What's the catch? |
No, there is NO COST and there is no catch. This is an alternative form of advertising for us. We want to expose as many Snowmobile owners as possible to our products. Instead of buying advertising on Google or Yahoo that cater to everyone, we pay you to advertise on your Website because you cater to Snowmobile owners. We expect a much higher return because your viewers are interested in Snowmobiles. |
| How
much is my commission? |
Qualifying sales earn a commission
of 5% of the "net sale." Your net sales are
calculated by subtracting any discounts, shipping,
tax and returns or charge-backs from the total sales
amount. For example, if a qualifying sale is made for
$100 before shipping and taxes, you earn a commission
of $5 (5% of $100 = $5). If 20 qualifying sales are
made for $100. each, before shipping and taxes, you
earn commissions of $100. |
| How
much are my overrides? |
Qualifying sales generated through
your Sub-Affiliates earn on override on the "net sale".
Net sales are calculated by subtracting shipping discounts,
tax and returns or charge-backs from the total sales
amount. For example, if your Sub-Affiliates generate
$2,000. in qualifying net sales, you earn overrides
of $50. (2.5% of $2,000 = $50.). If you have 10 Sub-Affiliate
generate $2,000.in qualifying net sales, you earn overrides
of $500. |
| In order to earn a commission, how soon must a customer buy after they click the link on my website? |
You will earn a commission as soon as one of your visitors buys and for up to 30 days after a person visits your website, clicks on our link, then makes a purchase from our store. In other words, if a person clicks on our link from your Website and comes to our store, but does not make a purchase at that time, you may still earn a commission if that person returns to our store within 30 days and makes a qualifying purchase. If a person makes more than one purchase from our store within those 30 days, you will earn a commission on each sale! |
| When
will I not earn a commission or override? |
You will not earn a commission
or override if the person clicks on the link of another
one of our affiliates between the time they clicked
on our link on your Website and the time they made
the purchase. You also would not earn a commission
or override if the visitor turned off or otherwise
disabled the "cookie" set when they clicked
on the link from your website to our website. |
| When
are my commissions and overrides paid? |
Payments are made by the 20th day of each month for the preceding month. Payments are made automatically when your balance exceeds $25. If you balance for the month is less than $25 your commissions and overrides will accumulate and be added to the next month's payment. |
| When
do I start earning commissions and overrides? |
Immediately. You start earning commissions and overrides as soon as your links are up and the first sale is made through these links. |
| How
long does it take to hear back from you once I sign
up? |
