|
|
|
| Q |
Where should I place the links on my website? |
| A |
The most effective location to add our links and banners to is your home page. The best results are achieved when banners are placed at the top of your web page and links are placed in the upper left hand corner of your web page, however you're free to place our links in any location on your website.
|
|
|
|
| Q |
What types of links work best? |
| A |
You will have the greatest success adding links which fit the overall design of your website. Picture based links (such as banners) provide a greater click-through-rate, however a simple text link in a clearly visible location will also be successful.
|
|
|
|
| Q |
Can I copy content from the Method123 website? |
| A |
No, however our banners and links provide descriptive text for you anyway.
|
|
|
|
| Q |
What happens if I have multiple websites? |
| A |
Under one Affiliate Account, you can have multiple websites with multiple links to our website. The advantage in retaining one Affiliate Account is that you can check on your overall sales performance in one place and receive one monthly commission check for all of your sales transactions. With one Affiliate Account it is still possible to create specific links for each website and view sales reports for each website individually. For more info, please email affiliates@method123.com

|
|
|
| Q |
Am I allowed to bid on search terms (in Google, for example) through your affiliate program? |

Yes, we encourage our affiliates to use search marketing as another way to earn commissions in addition to text links and banners. However, we prohibit our affiliates from bidding on the following terms on our behalf: "Project Management", "Project Management Templates", "Project Management Methodology" and "Project Management Forms".
