What is your affiliate program?

We reward you for placing links and other promotional material on your website that directs your visitors to our Pligg Template collection and when a template(s) is purchased by a customer you refer we pay you a commission for the sale(s).
How do I join your affiliate program?
Our Affiliate Program is managed by E-Junkie, one of the most sophisticated affiliate management solutions available today, so you must sign up for an account on their website first. If you click on the “Affiliate” link in the top navigation bar of our website you’ll find full instructions for getting started with E-Junkie and our affiliate program.
What is E-Junkie?
E-Junkie is one of the largest affiliate advertising networks in the world. In addition to its expertise as a market leader in the affiliate industry, the company provides tracking, reporting, and real-time commission statements for our affiliate program.
How does your affiliate program work?
Our affiliate program allows you to make money by referring customers to our website. You can do this by placing links, banners, product reviews, or any of the other content we provide you with on your website and every time you refer a customer to us and that customer makes a purchase, you earn a commission. In every calendar month we will send you the commissions you have earned directly to your PayPal account.
Does it cost me anything to become an affiliate?
It’s absolutely free to join our Affiliate Program. There’s no charge to apply and there’s no minimum sales requirement.
Are websites outside of the U.S. eligible for the affiliate program?
Yes, we welcome applications to our affiliate program from most countries.
I operate more than one website, can I still participate in your affiliate program?
Yes, absolutely. You can promote our templates across one or all of your websites. The more links and content you place on your websites, the more qualified visitors you’re likely to send us and this should translate into a higher conversion.
Is my blog or website eligible for the affiliate program?
Most blogs and websites qualify to participate in the Affiliate Program, but we reserve the right to refuse membership to a website or revoke your membership at any time if we determine that your website contains objectionable material, such as content of an adult nature.
I don’t have a blog or website, can I still participate in the affiliate program?
Yes, you can. Although, if you don’t have your own website yet you should definitely consider starting one.
After activating your affiliate account you can then log into the affiliate area by clicking on the “Affiliates” link on E-Junkie’s homepage. Once you log in, you should select the “Get Affiliate Code” option and then select our program from the drop down menu. When you are on the next page, select “Get Affiliate Code” again and you’ll be taken to a screen that has a drop down menu with a number of our template packages. You can select ANY package to generate your affiliate link, because all of them will take your visitors to our main website and you will receive credit for ALL sales regardless of which template package you choose to generate a link for.
Where should I place affiliate links on my blog or website?
You should place your affiliate links where they’re easy for your visitors to find: your website’s home page, navigation bar, and any other high-traffic areas. By placing the links on easily accessed locations visitors will be more likely to click on your links and make a purchase, but remember too that we also provide you with articles, reviews, blog posts, and many other marketing tools, to make converting your visitors into sales as easy for you as possible.
How will I know that orders came through my blog or website?
The affiliate links that you generate via E-Junkie track you as having referred the customer and E-Junkie also place a 6 month cookie on each visitor’s computer, so if a visitor you refer to us doesn’t purchase immediately, but then returns a week, month, or even 6 months later, you will still receive the commission for any products they purchase.
How much money will I earn through your affiliate program?
Our standard commission rate is 25% of the purchase price of our theme packages, which range from $49.99 to $59.99, but we also offer incentives and special promotions for our affiliates that can boost your commissions quite considerably.
How do I know how much commission I have earned?
You can login to the E-Junkie interface at any time for access to real-time reporting, which provides up-to-the-minute information about the commissions you’ve earned.
When will I receive my affiliate commissions?
All affiliate payments are processed and payments sent directly to your PayPal account by the 7th of each month for the previous month’s sales.
Can I earn commissions on my own purchases?
You will not receive credit when purchasing a theme package through your own affiliate link. You may receive an automatic notification from E-Junkie to let you know that a sale has taken place, but your affiliate payments will not include this amount.
