General FAQs
1. How does the program work?
With the Evite Affiliates Program, you can earn money by referring
your users to Evite. We will pay you $2.00 for every new user (not previously
registered) who sends an Evite Invite. It's easy to get started. Just fill out a simple online application by clicking on the "Apply Now" button. Once approved, all you have to do is add a button, banner
ad or text hyperlink to your web site. Payment is commission-based, paid
monthly once your commission reaches $25. You can monitor your success
with detailed online tracking reports, made available to you 24 hours
a day from www.cj.com. To learn about ways to integrate Evite links into your site,
go to Merchandising Ideas. For a more
detailed program process, go to Getting Started.
2. How much does it cost?
Applying to and participating in the Evite Affiliate's Program is
absolutely FREE.
3. How much will I get paid?
Earn $2.00
for every new user (not previously
registered) who sends an Evite Invite.
4. When will I get paid?
Commissions of $25 or more are paid monthly. If your commissions for
any quarter are less than $25, the total amount will be carried to the
next month and paid at the end of that month.
5. What web sites qualify for Evite's Affiliates
Program?
Most web sites will qualify to participate in the program; however, we
may reject web sites that we determine are unsuitable. Anyone may submit
an application, and we review each and every potential Affiliate web site.
We do reserve the right to refuse membership to a site or revoke a site's
membership at any time if we deem it to contain or link to objectionable
material. Objectionable material includes pornography, explicit language
or content, violence, discrimination, promotion of illegal activities,
violation of intellectual property rights or laws, libelous, defamatory
or disparaging materials. Please see the Legal Agreement
for more information.
6. Are internationally based web sites applicable?
Yes. If your site qualifies for the program, we would be glad to have
you as an Affiliate. Please note that all commission payment checks to
Affiliates are denominated in U.S. dollars.
7. How do I change my account information?
Changing your account information is simple. Just log in to your Commission Junction
account at www.cj.com
and select “Account.”
Technical FAQs
1. How do I create links to Evite?
Once approved for the affiliate program CJ will email you a confirmation
that you're site has been accepted. You will then be able to access your account at
CJ and download graphics and set up links. Also, check out our
Merchandising Ideas for suggestions about
how to maximize your participation in our program.
2. Can I change the graphics provided by Evite?
We have created graphics for you that represent our brand name and logo
in a consistent fashion. We strongly encourage you to use these images
without modification. If you feel that you must build something larger
or more in keeping with your web site's overall design, you must submit
any proposed graphics that include Evite's name, URL or logo for our
prior approval before displaying them online or in print. Please send
these items to affiliates@www.evite.com.
3. How can I keep track of how many people I refer?
CJ provides 24-hour access to detailed reports that allow you
to track registered users. The reports tell you how many users viewed
and clicked-through the links to Evite from your site, how many sent invitations
and how much your site has earned in commission. To access these reports,
just go to cj.com and
log in.
4. What is the technology behind the tracking?
We use Commission Junction's Online Application to track the number of referred users that send an Evite invite from your site. Commission Junction will provide you with detailed statistics for your site. The HTML code on your web page that loads the links to our site includes a unique Affiliate ID code (assigned at the time that you register your web site). Each time a link from your site to Evite is viewed and a new user sends an invite from our service, CJ's application records the event.
To be able to identify and track visitors and properly assign commission
to referring sites, we append a unique code for each visitor to each page
and each link within the page seen by the visitor. This code follows the
user throughout the site. At the time a visitor sends an invite the code is
examined and together with the referring site, are stored in our database
so that your commission can be applied to your account.
However, there are situations when you will not receive a commission.
For example, if someone follows a
link from your site to Evite, and browses the site, but does not register,
and later follows a link from another Evite Affiliate web site and
registers, the code for the second referring site will replace yours. If however, a user clicks through from your site and returns to www.www.evite.com within 45 days to send an invite, CJ will be able to record this activity.
