Affiliates
If you send someone who buys a sponsor slot, you get a cut. That is the whole programme.
How it works
- You get a link with your handle in it.
- Anyone who arrives through it and books a sponsor slot within 60 days is attributed to you.
- You earn 30% of the first three weeks they book.
Terms that matter
- Paid monthly, no minimum threshold, no expiring balance.
- No self-referrals and no bidding on our brand name in paid search.
- We will not pay for traffic from scraped email lists or spam.
Why it is small
- Listing is free, so there is nothing to earn a commission on for most of what happens here.
- The programme only pays on sponsorship, which is a small part of the site by design.
Email hello@rankcert.com to get a link. There is no dashboard yet - we will send you a statement each month until there is.
How attribution and payouts work
Your link carries your handle, attribution lasts sixty days from the first click, and you earn thirty percent of the first three weeks any referred sponsor books. There is no tiering, no volume bonus and no separate rate card, because a programme this small does not need one and complexity in affiliate terms almost always favours the house.
Attribution is last-click within the window and is resolved at the point of booking rather than at signup. If two affiliates referred the same buyer, the most recent click inside sixty days is credited. Self-referrals do not count, and neither do slots booked by a company you work for, which is stated plainly so nobody wastes an afternoon discovering it.
Payouts run monthly with no minimum threshold and no expiring balance. If you earned four dollars, you are paid four dollars. Balances that sit unpaid because a threshold was never reached are the most common way affiliate programmes quietly keep money, and not having a threshold removes the temptation entirely.
What we will not do is pay for placement that misrepresents what this is. Comparison pages that invent facts about other platforms, review posts written by someone who has not used the product, and anything that implies affiliation with us beyond the referral all get the account closed rather than a warning. The programme exists to reward genuine recommendations, and the rate is set on that assumption.
Common questions
- How long does the referral window last?
- Sixty days from the first click, resolved on a last-click basis at the moment the sponsor slot is booked.
- Is there a payout minimum?
- No. Balances are paid monthly regardless of size and never expire.
