The Type Of Affiliate Websites ihateclowns.com Is Looking For

For our relationship to be beneficial to both ihateclowns.com and our affiliates, we have developed a few basic criteria for an ihateclowns.com affiliate website. To qualify, your website must:

  • not display or promote violence, sexually explicit material, illegal activities or discrimination in any form (except for anti-clown discrimination...of course that's ok :-);

  • be aesthetically pleasing (and hopefully a LITTLE funny);

  • be based in the United States (as well as it's owner); and

  • be an existing, live, completed site, that is not under construction.

 

Affiliate Login Name

When you become an ihateclowns.com affiliate through our online process, you may choose any Login you wish, which isn't already taken.

However, it is important that you use only letters and/or numbers, and that you do not use spaces, underscores or any other characters in creating your affiliate Login Name.

If you prefer that we sign you up as an affiliate, we will assign your affiliate login and number and e-mail these to you with other important affiliate information.

Promoting Your ihateclowns.com Affiliate Business

The ihateclowns.com Affiliate Banner

Of course, if you have a website, the first thing to do to promote your ihateclowns.com affiliate business is to place the ihateclowns.com banner on your website. (However, if you prefer not to place a banner on your website, you can still promote your affiliate business through text links on your website)

To maximize your opportunity of earning commission, we suggest that you place your banner at the top of your website home page (or at least in the top one-third of that page). You can also place your banner on as many of your website pages as you wish. Each time your visitors see your ihateclowns.com banner, you have another opportunity of earning more commissions.

Don't Stop With Your ihateclowns.com Banner

Even with your ihateclowns.com affiliate banner on your website, or if you prefer not to have a banner on your website, you can still promote your ihateclowns.com affiliate business through text links (often MORE effective than banners alone on a website). After becoming an affiliate, simply create text links using your affiliate code in the links. If you have a weblog, blogger, you can even include your affiliate links in your weblog entries or your side bar. Be creative! Write "advertorials" that describe the site and link to one of the t-shirt designs specifically, or just put "i hate clowns", "coulrophobia", or "clownophobia" on the page linked to our store front. We'll leave it up to you to decide.

Whether you use the ihateclowns.com banner or text links on your website, showing your friends, family and business associates items that you have purchased from ihateclowns.com is the very best way to promote your affiliate business.

 

Earnings By ihateclowns.com Affiliates

We pay a 10% commission on purchases* made through an affiliate website link.** There's no maximum amount of commissions you can earn. The more you promote your affiliate link to ihateclowns.com, the more likely you'll be to increase the amount of the commissions you earn through ihateclowns.com.

In order to do this, if you have a website, display the ihateclowns.com banner as prominently on your website as possible (but at least within the top one-third of your home page). Using the same affiliate code, you can display the ihateclowns.com banner on as many pages of your site as you'd like. The more you display our banner, the more likely you are to increase the commissions you earn.

When Commissions Are Earned

Commissions are earned only on final orders. A final order is an order which has been shipped and has not been cancelled or on which a return credit has not issued.

Payment Of Commissions

Unlike other websites, commissions earned by you at ihateclowns.com are paid monthly when your commissions exceed $20. If your commissions for that month are less than $20, they will be carried over to the next month. If your commissions do not exceed $20 within a year, we will pay you your actual commissions at the end of the calendar year.

Commissions On Returns

We offer an Unconditional 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, which allows returns for any reason within 30 days of receipt. Because commissions are paid only on final sales, to allow for possible returns, as other affiliate programs do, we pay commissions after the month end.

Linking To Specific Items

Because most items at ihateclowns.com are one-of-a-kind, and our storefront easily allows a shopper to choose any product they are interested in from the main page, neither our website or our affiliate program is designed to provide linking to specific items. We believe that a link to the ihateclowns.com storefront home page will increase your opportunity to earn higher commissions.

Tracking Orders and Commissions

Our on-site affiliate program software uses your unique affiliate number to automatically track orders placed by visitors who come to ihateclowns.com through your affiliate link. Your account balance, updated daily, can be reviewed by logging in to your affiliate account.

Updating Affiliate Images

You can get current banners and linking images from our banners page here. Please download the banners and graphics to your server and load them from your site. Please contact us before you use any of our images from our catalog to put on your website.


 * Commissions are paid only on initial purchases by each new visitor net of taxes, shipping, cancels and returns, which are made by visitor who accessed our site through your affiliate link.
** We do not pay commissions to affiliates who make purchases at ihateclowns.com for themselves.
