There is no doubt Lunarpages provides one of the industry’s leading affiliate programs out there today.  However, when using your affiliate program information to help your web site visitors, friends, and family members sign up for Lunarpages, there are a few things you might want to double check, to make sure they are off your affiliate checklist so we can pay you up to $65 per person you bring to us.

Keep Your Information Up to Date

It is very important to make sure you keep your personal information, such as your name, postal address, phone number and more up to date in our affiliate program.  You can easily go double check that information anytime by logging into our affiliate account system, and then clicking on the tab labeled, “Update Your Info”.  By doing so, you can help us make sure you get your payments sent to your address.

Send in Your Tax Form Documentation

Once you sign up for the Lunarpages affiliate plan, you will need to send us the needed tax documentation before we can send payment to you.

Every account you refer needs to remain active for more than 30 days, during our money back guarantee period. We (and the IRS!) also require that a W-9 (US affiliates) or W8-BEN (international affiliates) tax form be submitted before we can send your payments.   Feel free to contact us at affiliate@lunarpages.com or submit a ticket to the help desk if you need assistance in getting your tax form sent out way.

Learn to Target Your Audience Directly to the Plan They Want

After working with hundreds of affiliates, there is one thing I have learned.  Directing potential web hosting clients to a specific web hosting plan page, rather than just lunarpages.com itself leads to more successful referrals.  For example, rather than using just:

http://www.lunarpages.com/id/affiliateusername

In your banner or text link advertisements, try using:

http://www.lunarpages.com/id/affiliateusername/goto/basic-hosting/

This would direct the potential web hosting referral to the Basic hosting plan’s page, where more information about that specific hosting plan is given.  To track the success rate of each affiliate banner ad or text link, you could also setup a campaign to track the click through and sign up rate and any one specific affiliate link.
