FAQ

Our affiliation programme allows a site to earn money by promoting our website. Specifically, every time an affiliated site sends someone to the website and that person registers for free, the affiliated site makes money.

Our affiliation programme is performance based: the more registrations you generate in a month, the more money you earn per registration and sale:

  • From 1 to 200 registrations per month: earn £2.00 per registration and £30.00 per sale.
  • From 200 to 500 registrations: earn £2.50 per registration and £35.00 per sale.
  • From 500 to 1000 registrations per month: earn £3.00 per registration and £40.00 per sale.
  • More than 1000 registrations: earn £3.50 per registration and £45.00 per sale.
To join our affiliation Programme, you just need a website. If you are an emailer affiliate, a keywording affiliate or an incentives affiliate, please refer to section "6. Type of affiliates" to learn about our terms and conditions.

Many criteria are taken into account for site validation.

We reserve the right to accept or reject any affiliated site without explanation.

Below are the criteria that automatically exclude a site from the affiliation programme:

  • Site without pertinent content.
  • Site not available during the validation.
  • Site under construction (so we can't tell what it will be like once it's finished).
  • Site restricted to minors or a primarily minor audience
  • Site with debatable content.
  • Site contrary to French law or the principles and values of our society (racist, xenophobic, erotic, paedophilic, pornographic...).
  • Site contrary to our values and interests.

As a member of our affiliation programme, you represent an extension of our brand. As such, your responsibilities are as follows:

  • To reserve a choice place for us on your website.
  • To ensure that your site and activity are not detrimental to our brand, pursuant to the provisions stated in the affiliation agreement.
  • To avoid creating artificial traffic or fraudulent registrations. By "fraudulent registrations" we mean registrations made on our site by someone whose primary motivation is not to learn about our services.
To rejoin the affiliate programme, you must register on one of our partner affiliate programmes and apply for the affiliate programme. You can find more information on page "Join us".
By "registration" we mean someone who goes to the site, clicks the registration box to register, fills out the registration form and validates it. A registration is considered valid even if the email verification is not effected.
Tracking between the affiliate site and our site is entirely handled by our partner affiliation platforms. This allows us to propose the best tracking technology to our affiliates and ensure the accuracy of results.

There are two cases when registrations are not counted:

A.We do not count the registration of non-resident members. This means basically that if you are a UK affiliate, any registration made by someone whose country of residence is other than the United Kingdom will not be counted. We get the country of residence from a person when he fills out the registration form on the site.

A. Registration must occur on the site where the affiliation programme is located. E.g. registration on the site within the framework of the French affiliate programme.

For this reason, we advise people with an international audience to use a "geotargeting" system.

Tracking on the affiliation programme is done for the session. This means that as long as the surfer who clicked on an affiliate site stays on the site, he will be tracked. The tracking ends when he leaves the site.

Very few pages are accessible to non-members: so this increases the chances that a surfer sent by an affiliate site will immediately register on the site.

All the registrations that appear on our affiliation partners' platforms are final. This means that they will not be removed unless the registration is clearly fraudulent.

We offer thematic banners in numerous forms. Generally, all of our subjects are available in at least
6 forms: 120x600, 160x600, 180x150, 300x250, 468x60, 728x90.

If a form is not available, contact us, tell us the desired form and identify your site.

It is possible to put a dating network on an affiliated site. Specifically, it would be a web page with the affiliate's header and footer and in the middle, the site. However, since this requires technical resources for implementation, we only offer it to affiliates with a minimum of 100 registrations per month. It is not possible to integrate a generic brand (without mentioning our site).
Affiliation platforms allow for full tracking of visitors between the affiliate site and our site. Also, they allow us to keep track of the earnings of an affiliate and handle payment to the affiliates. They provide affiliate access to numerous reporting tools so affiliates can maximise their revenue. The affiliation platforms are thus necessary to ensure the success of an affiliation programme.
Our affiliation philosophy is to be at the service of the affiliate. Also, we want our affiliates to use the affiliation platform that best meets their expectations and needs. So we work with the most important affiliation platforms on the market.
All the affiliation platforms that we work with have the same commission and counting structure for registrations. We monitors these very closely so the affiliation platforms are not in competition with our products and services. And, there are differences amongst the platforms on the level of functionality and services offered to affiliates.
No, we can't: in our view, our programme is the same on each platform. You need to determine which affiliation platform best suits your activity and your needs.
Payment to affiliates is handled entirely by the affiliation platforms. Generally, payment takes place once a month and there is no payment unless the balance in the affiliate's account exceeds a minimum payment threshold determined by the platform. Otherwise, the affiliate must wait until exceeding this minimum amount to received a payment.

The amount you earn will depend on your performance. It's calculated as follows:

Total earnings = "number of registrations" * "registration payment rate" + "number of sales" * "sale payment rate"

The "registration payment rate" and the "sale payment rate" depend on the number of registrations generated in that month. Refer to question 1.2 "How much will I earn?" to find out about our remuneration rates.

For example: in month N, you had 250 registrations and 10 sales. So you are in the £2.50 per registration and £35.00 per sale range (between 200 and 500 registrations). Thus, your earnings for the month N = (250 * 2.5)+(10*35) = 625+350= £975.00.

It should be noted that on certain affiliation platforms, the bonus payment is not necessarily made at the same time as the base remuneration payment. A bonus is the difference between the base remuneration per registration (£2.00) and the amount paid if 200 or more registrations per month are generated.

Moreover, on some platforms, your gains, posted on the interface, are not necessarily in the bonus account: each registration gets the base remuneration. In this case, you will get a bonus at the start of the next month, corresponding to the following formula:

Bonus = (your remuneration level - base remuneration) * number of registrations generated during the month.

we have an internal keyword team. However, it is possible for affiliates to buy keywords within the affiliate programme under certain conditions. These conditions exceed those of the general affiliations programme. It is thus necessary to contact us before being able to buy keywords.
It is possible to send emails within the framework of the affiliate programme. However, before each emailing, it is necessary to obtain authorization from the affiliate team. Moreover, we have specific offers for emailers. Please contact us on this matter.
This type of site is not authorized to join our affiliation programme: Members of these sites register to make money rather than to discover the site.
As with the previous question, these visitors register for a purpose other than to learn about our service. So this is not authorised.

Today, the affiliation programme is present in 12 countries (France, England, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark, Austria, Poland, the Netherlands) and has more than 20,000 affiliates. Every day, several thousand registrations from affiliates are posted.

Every month, our largest affiliates earn more than 10,000 euros. They make more than 3000 registrations per month with conversion rates exceeding 15%.

No, that's not possible because the remuneration model is not the same in all countries. So you have to join the affiliation programme for each country and put a "geotargeting" system in place.
