FAQ - Affiliation & Partnership



Whats the difference?

Affiliation is merely a link exchange. We link to you, and you link to us. Primarily we only display these on our affiliates page though on some layouts we have a random affiliate shown.
Partnership is different to affiliation. To begin with, your link is shown on every page (and ours on all of yours). We also form a sort of bond. Both webmasters get on and are willing to help each other. They actively promote each other’s sites and are happy to participate in their events.



What are the requirements?

** These may be out of date. To check the most recent requirements check out this page.

Whats the purpose?

The main purpose of both is to help promote both our sites. Through the links, more traffic can come directly from user clicks and indirectly through higher search engine positions. However many other benefits are received such as new friendships and help in all kind of areas.



How do I affilate/partner?

To become either one you need to fill out one form. On this form you will create an affiliate or partnership account, providing details of your site and uploading a valid button.
The form can be found here.



Why can't I partner with the whole network?

You can't because this isn't offered. The main site deals with affiliates and partners, the rest of the network doesn’t deal with these relationships.



How can I link to you?

Linking us is easy. Simply visit our linkage page, choose a button or banner you wish to use, copy the code below that banner/button into your site, save the image to your server or an image host and insert its URL into the code.



Which button should I use?

We have several buttons to choose from, available in 3 different sizes. Our first is our small one (88x16px), located on the right. These are primarily used for partnership but may be used for ordinary linkage but NOT for affiliation. Affiliate must our buttons on the left which are 88x31px in size or bigger. The banner is used mainly for banner rotations but may be used for any other linkage (just don’t expect the same if not offered.).
