Got Questions?

What is the AOL Affiliate Program?
As a partner in the AOL Affiliate Program, you can make money by encouraging your customers to join the #1 best selling online service!

Does it cost me anything to join?
No. Not one penny!

Do I have to have a big Website to join?
Not at all. We accept applications from any Website regardless of size. Sometimes our best partners have small Websites! It's simply about what you do with it.

What's in it for me?
MONEY - potentially lots! Every time one of your customers registers for AOL by clicking on one of your links, you get a one time referral fee of $7.

Is there a limit on how much I can make?
No. Your earning potential is unlimited.

How often will I get paid?
We will pay you on a monthly basis for all registrations.

My customers are already online. Why would they want to join AOL?
First of all, your customers may be accessing from work, but do not yet have a home internet connection. Also, more and more of those that sign up for ISPs every year are actually switching from another ISP. And let's face it, there's a reason why AOL is the most popular online service - we're easy to use and convenient. Our Affiliate Network works the same way!

There are lots of affiliate programs out there. Why should I join AOL's?
For starters, it's FREE! Secondly, AOL's incredibly powerful brand name virtually sells itself. And, AOL is the number 1 ISP in the world.

What is a registration?
A registered member (the kind that earns you money) is someone who signs on as an AOL member. Registrations are referred to as "actions" in our reporting.
What are "Impressions" and "Clickthroughs" or "visits"?
An "Impression" occurs when one of your customers sees one of our promotional links on your site. "Clickthrough" or "visits" means one of your customers took action and clicked on one of the AOL promotional links.

How does AOL track impressions, clickthroughs, and valid registrations?
Once you put an AOL promotional link on your site with our special HTML, tracking is a snap! Embedded in that HTML is a unique identifier that we use to identify all referrals coming from your site.

How do I get my viewers to click on the AOL links?
There are lots of ways! First, put up more than one link - and put the AOL links in prominent places. Place these links in context by sharing with your users a personal testimonial. Also, it has been found that links placed on the lower right corner of pages get more clicks. Keeping the creative fresh is critical, too. AOL is always working to develop and test new banner and button concepts. We only share the best ones - the ones proven to work - with you.

Where can I get the AOL promotional links and graphics?
Once you join the program, Log in to http://www.connectcommerce.com to pick and choose from an exciting, fresh array of promotional links. Keep in mind that AOL is constantly developing and testing new banner and button concepts and we only share the best ones with you!
Is knowing HTML a requirement? Will I need a programmer?
No, you do not need to know HTML. Just cut and paste the HTML that we provide you, onto your site. That's all that it takes!

This sounds like the easy way to make money! How do I join?
Simply go to https://www.connectcommerce.com/secure/partner_app.html?ccmid=K16791 and complete the application.

Once I join, how do I get my promotional links and reports?
After you've been accepted to the AOL Affiliate Network, go to http://www.connectcommerce.com, log in and get your promotional links. After you publish those links to your site, you can also go there to see how the promotions are doing.
