If you are a United States resident or company and will earn at least $600 in commissions (as an affiliate) in a calendar year, you must send us a completed W-9 form.

If I have more than one affiliate account, can you combine my commissions into one? Yes, you will receive a consolidated payment for each of your payable affiliate accounts. Also you can send visitors from different sources tracking sub affiliates under a given Affiliate Account. This allows affiliates who have multiple sites to track them separately but under the same Affiliate account.

Do I receive a commission only if my referral registers on AnastasiaDate on his first visit? No. Even if your referral does not register for membership on AnastasiaDate on his first visit and returns to AnastasiaDate later, they will still be recorded in the system as your referral and tracked for automatic commission payment.

I have 6 clients registered on AnastasiaDate but my account does not show any commissions. What does it mean when a client is registered and when is the commission paid? On AnastasiaDate membership is free. Our clients pay nothing for browsing the website, viewing the profiles of the ladies or placing a profile in the Men's Catalogue. They pay only when they read or send an e-mail message to a lady. Only at this point is a commission due you. All customers you bring to us are automatically tagged as your referrals and tracked for automatic commission payments. This way you will have more and more referrals every month and your commissions will grow!

My Backoffice:

How do I update the information in my profile? To edit your contact/profile information, including payment information, simply:

1. Sign into your administrator consol.
2. Click on the "update account" icon.
3. Once you have made the appropriate adjustments be sure to click on the "Update account" button at the bottom of the page.

If I forgot my password what do I do? To receive your password, you'll need to use the password retrieval form found on our site, or email our Support Department and provide the following information as available: your affiliate ID number, company name, the site you are affiliated with. We will be in touch.

How often is my statistics page updated? We update your stats page daily. Please note, your stats are not real time and will not reflect new members immediately.

How does Anastasia track visitors from my site? When you sign-up as an affiliate you'll be given a unique affiliate ID, which is the same as the number in the tracking URL you use to link to our site. We use this ID to tell us where a referral comes from in order to credit that account ID accordingly. If you forget to include your ID in a referral URL, there is no way to accurately credit your account, and you will not be paid for that portion of your traffic.

Spam:

What forms of promotion can I use? The majority of our affiliates promote AnastasiaDate by placing our promomaterial on their traffic sources. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and referral fee accrual, we provide you with a special HTML code to be used in all links between your site and ours. You must ensure that each of the links between your site and ours properly utilizes such special link formats. Links to our site which are placed on your site pursuant to this Agreement, and which properly utilize such special link formats, are referred to as "Special Links." You will only earn referral fees for activity on our site occurring directly through Special Links. We are not liable to you for any failure by you to use Special Links, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of amounts which would otherwise be paid to you pursuant to this Agreement. Special Links functioning is based on "cookies". The system is unable to track sales when the user's "cookies" are switched off. If your visitor's cookies are off they will not be recorded as your referral and you will not receive any commission from their purchases.

I just logged into my account and it was banned. Why? Anastasia does not condone cheating or spamming of any nature. Any accounts suspected of cheating or reported for spamming are immediately banned, and all payment voided. Extreme steps must be taken to protect our company and legitimate affiliates. Typical causes include:

1. People emailing us that your affiliate ID was used in spamming activities.
2. Creation of fake accounts.
3. High chargeback rates (8% or greater).
4. Other inappropriate actions.

What is considered spam? Spam is considered any attempt to deliver unsolicited bulk mail over the Internet. Almost all spam is commercial advertising. Potential target lists are created by scanning Usenet postings, stealing Internet mailing lists, or searching the Web for addresses. Such information is gathered with automated searches which retrieve email addresses for spamming.

Absolutely no spam is permitted by affiliates on any search engines, news groups or mailing lists. Spamming will be cause for legal action. Furthermore, Anastasia will not pay any commission listed for that Host site. No bulk mail, mass mail, unsolicited mail etc. is permitted. Such actions will be cause for legal action. E-mailing to Opt-in lists is acceptable and encouraged.
