Nicecoder affiliate program relaunch
I am very happy to announce that the Nicecoder affiliate program is back online!
By signing up to the affiliate program you can earn up to 20% of any software sale that you refer.
So how does it work?
When a visitor clicks on your affiliate link they are sent to the Nicecoder website and given a cookie. That cookie is valid for 30 days and any time someone with an affiliate cookie makes a purchase in those 30 days you will receive 10% of the sale!
When your affiliate account gets more than $50 in it, you will be sent a payment via Paypal (default) or can elect to have a check sent to you if you do not have Paypal.
Where do I sign up?
NiceCoder - Affiliate Program
Do you have any banners?
You bet we do, we even have a banner for iDesk. We will be getting more soon for our newest products.
How much do I get?
You earn 10% of the sale of any software product.
Can I earn more?
Absolutely! If you make 20 sales, your affiliate payout will be automatically upgraded to earn 15% of the sale. If you make another 20 sales you will be upgraded to earn 20% of the sale.
Why should I sign up?
Just by signing up we put $10 into your account! That makes it easier for you to get to your first check faster.
When do I get paid?
Payments are sent on the 15th of each month
How do I get paid?
You can receive payment by Paypal (preferred) or by check
If I have questions who do I ask?
You can send an e-mail to support at support [at] Nicecoder.com
What happened to the old affiliate program?
It was never working properly, and of the few sales that were recorded many of them were never completed or were fraudulent orders. Those orders have been removed but the signup bonus has been retained. Orders before October 23 2008 were removed.
What happens if there is a fraudulent order?
All commissions must be approved manually. Along with the payouts on the 15th of the month this gives us the ability to remove fraudulent orders from your affiliate payouts so no issues should occur.
What if there is a refund for the order?
Refunds are typically very low, but in the event of a refund we will handle these on a case by case basis.
Could I put my affiliate earnings towards a new license?
Absolutely yes. We can deduct your earnings from the cost of a license or if you have enough earnings you could get a product for no cost. You must reach the payout minimum in order to apply earnings towards products.
Can I purchase products using my own affiliate ID?
No you cannot. You will end up with having your affiliate account closed and any outstanding commissions will not be awarded to you.
What are acceptable methods of advertising my affiliate ID?
- An excellent place to put the affiliate ID is in the footer of your Nicecoder script!
- In your signature on other forums that permit advertising of affiliate ID's
- Use your affiliate ID and our graphics on other web sites that you own
- Use your affiliate ID on a Google Adwords (or similar) campaign (note that you are not allowed to bid on the word(s) 'indexu', 'nicecoder' or 'idesk' on any PPC Platform such as Google Adwords (or similar).
What are unacceptable methods of advertising my affiliate ID?
- We do not allow affiliate links on the Nicecoder forums, do not use them here or you may be banned.
- We do not permit, allow or condone spam for the purpose of advertising your affiliate link. Spam is defined as unsolicited messages in any communication protocol (i.e. www, e-mail, nntp, irc, instant messenger, fax etc) to one or more users
- If you have a mailing list you may advertise your affiliate ID on your list, providing it is an opt IN list that you created and maintain yourself on a domain that you both own and control. A purchased list does not qualify as an opt-in list.
- Requiring users to click on your affiliate link for the purpose of increasing traffic is not permitted
- You are not permitted to ask/beg/demand users to click on your affiliate ID
- You are not permitted to submit your affiliate ID to a traffic exchange site. These types of sites may offer high traffic, but extremely low conversion rates. This only results in useless traffic being sent to Nicecoder.
- you are not permitted to allow your affiliate ID or the Nicecoder website to be sent to or placed within any type of frame or iframe. This produces confusion to users and may make them believe that you own and/or control the site they are being sent to (Nicecoder.com)
Does Nicecoder report my income or withhold taxes?
No we do not. You are responsible to report your income and pay any possible taxes due.
Can I put my affiliate ID on any website?
Yes you can but you may not use your affiliate ID on any site that displays, promotes or advertises gambling, adult content, hacking, warez, cracks, serials, offensive or hateful sites and other sites we may deem as inappropriate. If you are not sure please contact us at support [at] Nicecoder.com and we'll be glad to help you out.
Can I sell or transfer my affiliate account?
No you cannot.
What if I want to close my affiliate account?
Contact us at support [at] Nicecoder.com and we will close the account for you. If you have not reached the payout amount then no payout will be sent to you and commissions will be forfeited.
Can I have more than one affiliate account?
Yes you can. Some users want a different account to track conversion ratios from different sites or different marketing strategies. Please note that if you have multiple accounts they are not cumulative and each account much reach the payout amount before a payout will be made.
Can I merge two (or more) affiliate accounts?
No you cannot.
Do these rules ever change?
Yes they do, and while we will try our best to notify you of these changes it is your responsibility to check for changes to the affiliate system. Any changes taking place during a month will come into effect the first day of the following month. This will give users ample time to make any necessary changes that may be required.
Failure to abide by any of the above rules will result in your affiliate account being removed and commissions being lost.
