I already host some of my websites in hostgator. When I want to buy a new web hosting account, I clicked my own affiliate link to buy the hostgator hosting service, got 20% discount but not got the $50 commission. The commission doesnot appear in my affiliate control panel. Anyone knows the reasons ?
That's because you are not a new customer. You only get commission if you refer new customers to HostGator.
Some hosting companies also won't grant you a commission until the customer has kept their account for 2 or 3 months. I'm not sure of HG does this, but a lot of the other ones do. Something else you should know - if you promote them via CJ you get $100/customer instead of the $50/customer you get by using the affiliate software on their site
Stay away from Hostgator they host over 3 million sites they are to busy doing other things to worry about paying you
Well, they pay only if a new customer joins them via our link. And they do pay but after 2 months. Like if some one joined via your link this month then you will get paid in July last. - Mr.President -
