Which linking method is right for me...standard or co-branded?

The same 10% commission applies to every sale made as a result of your referral.. whether through a standard link code or through your co-branded site, so the decision is really this:

Do you want it to appear to your site visitors that the MyFootShop website is part of your own website?

If your answer to the above question is yes, then Co-branding is right for you, as it will allow you to  customize the MyFootShop.com website to match your own.. up-load your own navigation (button)graphics and even the logo at the top of the page! Examples

Our Dynamic Links are the perfect way to build an "inventory" of products that you personally recommend on your own website which link directly to each product detail page at MyFootShop. Each dynamic product link is generated by our system with your unique AssociateID already embedded into it... this way, you get commissions for all the referred sales, and you can put as many of our quality products/photos onto your page as you want!

If you want to drive traffic to the MyFootShop website main page where your visitors can choose from all the categories and subcategories of products or information that we offer, then the Random/Rotating Link codes are the best and easiest solution. Using this method, the banners will automatically be rotated on a periodic basis to assure that the MyFootShop banner never becomes "stale" on your website. Alternately, if you're comfortable with editing HTML you can copy any of our advertising banners or buttons onto your own server and use any or all of them to link to us with.

How does the co-brand system work... ?

While signing-up for the Associate Program you will be given the opportunity to choose from some of ours or you may up-load your own navigation (button) graphics and Logo/Header to use on our site. If you don't have your graphics ready yet, no problem, choose some from our image library, or simply leave the default values in and you can up-load your graphics at anytime from within your Associate Control Console. 

Anytime someone clicks one of your associate links to our website, your header/logo will appear in the upper left hand corner of the screen, and your choice of button graphics will be used throughout the site. Your logo will have your homepage URL embedded in it so that your users may easily return to your website. Our system will display your graphics throughout the MyFootShop.com pages to all your referred visitors, keeping it consistent with your own website's look.

If you don't create your co-branded site during the registration process, you will have the opportunity to do so from within your Control Console at any time.

The same 10% commission applies to every sale made as a result of your referral..whether through a standard link code or through your co-branded site.

How do I insert the Link code... ?

Using whatever program you normally use to edit your web pages, pick the place where you'd like the Banner or Button ad to appear. Then highlight the entire code that you prefer from our Link Codes Pages and copy/paste it into the HTML of your page. That's all there is to it!
A basic HTML tutorial can be found Here.

Where can I put my Link code... ?

ANYWHERE! Your AssociateID is unique, and because it is embedded inside your Link code, no matter where the link is clicked from, you will get the credit if a sale is made.

You can use our simple Multi-Invitation Mailer System to send multiple email invitations to shop with us, and each personalized invitation has your unique AssociateID embedded in the link that each recipient receives so that you get credit. You can even send yourself the link so that your own purchases count towards your commissions!

If you have a mailing list, you could include the link in your bulk e-mailings to really boost your referral traffic!

You may also submit the link between the a tags of your link code to the search engines and/or link directories.
(..except Yahoo!® and a few others who only allow 1 submission per Domain.)
(Example:
<a href="http://www.myfootshop.com/associate.asp?AssociateID=YOUR_ASSOCIATE_NUMBER"</a>)

Absolutely! We encourage you, your family and friends to buy all your foot care products through your own Associate link. The same 10% commission applies to EVERY sale made as a result of a click-thru of your link.

No Problem! You may click the Forgot My Password link on our Associate's Main page at any time to retrieve it.

HTML is the programming language that web pages are written in. If you are unfamiliar with editing your own web pages, contact your webmaster and send them to our Link Codes Page. If you do not have a webmaster who maintains your web page and are interested in Professional Web-Development and Maintenance, contact SiteSee'er.
