Affiliate FAQ
We provide banners and text links that you can place on your website, if a user you refer to us upgrades to a paid membership, you earn a commission. It's a simple way to increase the revenue you make from your website.
Our successful affiliates operate websites that cover topics like dating reviews, relationship advice, travel guides and other areas that complement our niche dating sites.
We don't allow sites that are under construction, not active, parked or contain content related to online gambling, pornographic content, sexual enhancement or other objectionable content.

For example, if you earn a commission in January, it will be paid to you by February 12th.
You must provide us with a verified PayPal account (it's free) for us to pay you on the 12th. If you have not provided us with a verified PayPal account to send your payment to, your commission will be held until you do. We send out email notifications if your payment cannot be processed.
For security and verification reasons we require all our affiliates to verify their PayPal account. It's a free, easy process that provides additional security for both parties.
We also provide banners and text links for select sites in French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish. You can view which sites are in a certain language by visiting the site directly and viewing the languages in the top right hand corner of the home page.
We are constantly adding new languages based on market demand.
