POGO Stores: affilate marketing made easy!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a cost for this service?

The services that we provide are absolutely free. Our site is financed based on a percentage of your sites total sales (every fourth time your store is rendered, our affiliate ID is substituted for your affiliate ID).

Can I trust that my unique affiliate id will always be used in links?

Absolutely. Once you add an affiliate with your unique id, it will be used in EVERY link generated for your store 75% of the time. If you would like to test this out, simply refresh your store and view the affiliate links. You will see that our ID only appears once every four page views. This is our promise and guarantee.

How do I track the sales that my site generates?

For all links that are generated using your affiliate id, you must use the services that the affiliate provides to track hits and sales. We have no ability to track your sales. The only thing we track are the number of page views that each of your stores generate.

Why do you need my email address?

We do not provide your email address to anyone outside our organization. We will only use your email address to contact you in the event there is a problem with our system, a problem with your account, or to notify you of new affiliates that have joined our program.

Why do you want my web site address?

Your web site is an optional field. We would like to see how you’ve integrated the store with your site as it often highlights changes that we can make to make the store’s integration more seamless.

Can I create a store before registering with an affiliate?

Yes, but if you do not update your account with an affiliate id (enter a dummy id), all links will contain that dummy id. Some affiliates like to see that you already have a working store before approving your affiliate registration request. By using this method you can show them that you have a working site and that the affiliate account is mostly a formality.

Will my site be penalized by search engines for using your service?

Absolutely not. JavaScript is the safest method against having thousands of sites with the same content being penalized by the major search engines. You’re site will not be competing with other users of our system.

Do you have a PHP solution?

A PHP solution is currently in beta testing. Feel free to use this new beta service, however please be aware that this service might be discontinued in the future. If we discontinue this service, we will provide 30 days notice by way of a message on the main page of this site. You will not be notified by email. We are monitoring the use of PHP by our clients and the potential penalization by search engines.

Do I need to perform any maintenance on my sites after creating a store?

No. We provide all maintenance to your store(s). We refresh our databases with the affiliates latest data feeds on a regular basis, and liaise with new affiliates as they enter the marketplace.

How much money can I make?

There is no limit to the amount of money you make. We provide the store and tools, you provide the marketing.
