What is the HUGInc.com Affiliate
Program?
HUGInc.com has set up this program as a
means for you to get paid for referring visitors or customers to a growing number of advertisers' web sites.
By placing a link to an advertiser's site, you will enable your site to earn commissions (sales, leads, and/or clicks)
24-hours a day.
|
|
|
How do I get
paid?
Checks are processed once each month for
affiliates with accumulated earnings greater than the minimal balance as set forth in the Affiliate Agreement. Affiliates who
have less than the minimum accumulated earnings will have that
commission applied to the following month. As soon as
the accrued earnings total at least the minimium, a commission
check will be issued the very next run.
|
|
|
How much can I expect to
make each month?
It really depends on two things: 1)
How much traffic comes to your site and 2) How well you
integrate the advertisers' links into your site. There are a
multitude of ways to use the likes from text
links...to banners...to search boxes...and even content links.
See more tips on the link options page which generates
the actual code you need to copy & paste. |

|
How does Insider Reports know how many
viewers I send?
HUGInc.com uses proprietary software developed
to record each visitor referred to the site. In a
nutshell, each link on your site will have your unique
identifying number that will be captured and recorded
each time a "click-through" is performed. A
click-through is simply when someone clicks on a link
from your site to arrive at Insider Reports. |
|
|
How do I get
started?
First complete the affiliate
application. Give thought to a password that will be
easy to remember. You will use this password to access
your online reports. Then you will be presented with a
page with multiple programs to choose the best fit for your site. Simply copy the code
beneath the links that you want to use and paste it into
your web page. |

I would like to put more
than one link on my site and compare their performance.
Can you track each one?
In short, yes! We use
proprietary software that will tell how many clicks came
from each link. In detail, to implement this optional
feature, you simply need to replace the "X"
in your link code with a single digit or letter. Use a
different character for each link. If you do this, not
only can we track links on different pages, we can even
track multiple links on a single page.
If you do not care to track links individually,
then you simply don't need to replace the
"X" with anything. Just leave the code as
is. |
|
|
I have more than one web
site. How do I keep their earnings
separate?
If you want to keep earnings for the
multiple sites completely separate, then you can
register each site individually under a different name.
However, if you would like to receive just one check,
but still see how each site performed, you can register
only once and use the multi-link feature described
above. |
|
|
Can I add a link to my
ezine?
Sure, you can display one of the recommended text
links as a classified or a sponsor of your ezine. Clicks
are recorded the same way. AND you can take advantage of
the multi-link option by replacing the "X"
with a character to allow you to identify the clicks
that originated only from that issue. (See paragraph
above.) |
|
|
What is a "Qualified
Click-Through"?
A qualified click-through is
any click originating from your web site that results in
a visitor arriving at Insider Reports. Each unique visitor can only
be counted once. The single exception is for searches which can count as one within a 24 hour period.
PLEASE NOTE: Use of any service or method to enhance click counts will result in immediate removal from all programs. |
|
|
Can I send a text link out
as an email?
Yes, but only to people who have
requested information from you. Or, you may send it to
opt-in lists you have purchased. Broadcasting unsolicited
email (spamming) is a violation of the Affiliate
Agreement and will result in immediate expulsion from
all programs. |
