- Is
it okay to participate in other affiliate programs?
You are welcome to participate in other affiliate programs, however, you may want to consider how relevant each program is to your site and ultimately to your users. Keep in mind that the more programs you add to your site, the less likely it is that any particular program will receive much attention from your users.

- My club or organization wants to use this program as a fundraiser.
Can we do that?
Yes, commission checks can be paid to a club, organization, or company. In this case, complete the account information with the organization's information, and use a Federal Tax ID number instead of a social security number.

If you are interested in increasing traffic to your site,
here are some tools we recommend.

Answers to Frequently Asked
Questions:
Technical Information
|
- What is a URL?
URL stands for "Uniform Resource Locator" and refers to the address of a web site. For example,
http://www.Firecatalog.com is the URL for the Fire Catalog web site.

- What are monthly page views?
Monthly page views is the estimated number of visited pages within your web site over a month's time. If your site contains 5 pages, and you estimate 100 unique visitors to your site monthly, you may conclude that your site receives 500 monthly page views.

- What is the difference between a click and an impression?
A click is recorded when a visitor to your site clicks on the Fire Catalog banner or link and continues to the Fire Catalog site. An impression is recorded every time the Fire Catalog banner is loaded and viewable to the visitor of your site. You can view both the impressions and clicks for your account by logging into
http://www.Firecatalog.com/affiliates. Fire Catalog compensates you for completed sales, not for clicks or impressions.

- I have more than one web site. Can I track multiple sites on one account?
Yes - more sites mean more commissions for you! Make sure that you add the exact code generated for you to each site. The sales from all sites will be combined into one report and you will be compensated with one check. To track multiple sites on separate reports and receive separate checks, you need to re-apply to the Fire Catalog affiliate program for each site. This will generate a new tracking code for each site.
back to top
- May I become an affiliate if I want to put the banner or link on our
company or school intranet?
Sorry, the affiliate program will only work for external websites, not on intranets.
back to top
- Something is wrong with my code. Will you look at it and correct it for me?
Often, certain web editing programs will generate additional code or alter it in some way. The best way to correct your code is to
log
into your affiliate account and go the "Create Your Links" tab.
Copy and paste the code directly on to your page. Check to make sure the code was not altered and appears exactly as it did on
your affiliate account page.
With so many affiliates, there is no possible way that we can look at
each site's code individually.
back to top
- How do I remove my site from the affiliate program?
To remove your site from our program, simply remove the banner or
text link (and code) from your site. You are not required to contact
Fire Catalog. You will be compensated for any eligible
outstanding commissions generated by your site if the total dollar amount exceeds
$50.00 USD.
back to top
- Can I place the Fire Catalog logo in my local directory rather than accessing it from your server?
If you know how to change the code to access the logo from your local directory, please
feel free do so. This change will not affect your reporting or
commissions, but please note that other code revisions may affect Fire Catalog's ability to track your sales accurately.
