Faqs

AFFILIATE-WATCH is a directory of affiliate programs. Each listing collects the facts you need to compare programs, such as commission, cookie length, payout methods, network and category, and links to the official program page. Programs checked by our team show the date and the source we used.

No. We do not run programs, track sales or pay commissions. You join each program directly or through its network, and that company handles tracking and payments. We help you find and compare programs.

Yes. Browsing is free without an account. A free account lets you submit programs, manage a program you own and create a marketer profile.

An affiliate program is an agreement in which a company pays you a commission for customers or leads you send it. You share a tracking link; when someone buys or signs up through it, the sale is credited to you. Programs differ in commission rate, how long the tracking cookie lasts and when they pay.

An affiliate network is a platform that hosts many affiliate programs in one place. You create one account, apply to the brands you want, and the network provides tracking links, reports and combined payouts. Each brand still sets its own commission and approval rules.

Affiliate software is the tool a company uses to run its own program without a network: it creates referral links, tracks clicks and sales, calculates commissions and pays affiliates. If a program uses its own software, you sign up on the company's site instead of a network.
