Hostgator Affiliate Program

I am thinking about joining the hostgator affiliate program. Does anyone know if it lets you see who signs up with you?

Also, do you know if you still get credited if someone signs up under you, but uses a coupon?

 

It won't give you the personal info of the person who signed up with you. You get credit for users that use coupons

 

thanks for the reply. Do you use host gator?

 

You can use this website

 

I'm wondering do they allow you to use incentives to promote their hosting?

 

Yep, I use the hostgator affiliate program

 

You are NOT allowed to use incentives to promote their hosting. It is against there TOS.


I just signed up. I read in the Signup information taht I will get my first payment on the last week of the month 60 days from now. Does anyone know when the payment cut off is? For example, after that sixty days, if I make a sale in the 3rd week of the month, will I get paid the following week?

 

Not sure about their inhouse program, but on CJ HostGator holds out their payments for an extra 30 days to verify that the customer has stayed

 

Alright thanks

 

Oh ok thanks, that's what I thought but when I was signing up for hostgator affliates I saw people offering $50 for signing up with them. However it didn't seem legit or too troublesome.

Hey btw if I'm not wrong you get paid $100 per sale with cj where else hostgator they have a commision system base on performace. So the more refferals more money if you get enough I believe 21+ its $125 but you start with $50. you may want to check out cj... just a note. Haven't really tried it just heard some people mention here on the forums

 

You may want to cloak the affiliate link in your signature

 

haha yeh thanks just noticed that right before your post when I tried out my link. It's ok I don't expect any referrals from here anyway and haven't got any yet just though I'd give it a try since I have nothing to put on my signature.

 

Not sure about the cj if you go that route instead of directly through hostgator affiliate account, but in the hostgator affiliate control you can see what website the person signed up with and their ip address. Not that it helps too much, but you can sometimes check whois to see if the person that signed up website is still pointed to hostgator nameservers when possible. That way you can tell if the commission should go through if they are. If not then they probably canceled. You can also check the persons site to make sure it doesn't say suspended or something. I believe hostgators terms are 60 days, which is a long time. They do pay, and very well though.

Don't know if these details are available in cj or not. Some host affiliate programs you can see these details and others you can not. Kind of sucks if you can't track them a little. You just hope the host company doesn't pull a fast one on you.

 

I think HostGator is pretty honest. I have been paid for most of my leads

 

The thing I don't like is there are these first-month-free codes all over the place so you get people who aren't really going to pay or stick with them signing on for a month. If you can get people to buy an annual prepaid package it would be ok. But I've had 100% reversals ever since I promoted them.

 

Wow that 100% reversal stat of yours is terrible. I'm pretty sure thats just acommon thing for web hosting in general as people get with a company and then think I don't need this much space/ bandwidth/ I'm not into this webmaster stuff

 

I had some sales stick with GoDaddy where people bought a one year plan. It's those try-it-for-a-month-free deals that seem to attract a lot of fake customers.

 

It acts as a trial. In the long run your conversion will be higher with the code

 

Can you expand, I would like to hear more. Thanks : )

 

If any member buy host, but isnt pay.. I wll get commision?
