General Information:
Affiliate Marketing is a type of internet marketing that allows websites to share traffic and revenue using banner, text, product or content advertisements. Merchants who sell goods and services online pay commissions to site owners (Affiliates) for referring sales or leads. Proboardshop.com Affiliate program is non-exclusive.
Proboardshop.com Affiliates may be an individual or a formal business. Upon registration, individuals will be required to enter their Social Security Number. Businesses will be required to enter a Tax ID number.
Anyone with a functional, clean and content-rich website is eligible to be an affiliate. Your website does not need to be all about board sports, although it is preferred. E-mail marketing must be targeted to an established voluntary list collected through your user base and not purchased.
All sales tracking is handled through the Commission Junction Marketplace. Visit the
CJ FAQ for more information. The Proboardshop.com Affiliate program is free. There are no fees of any kind.

email us if you have questions on how to create more specific linking options. Please
email us if you would like information and a template for building specific product links.

We update new banners regularly to reflect seasonal activities and special or ongoing promotions. There are also several cross-seasonal/activity banners that may be found at any time of the year.
Affiliate Tools:
BANNERS:
We have many different tools to help you promote our store on your website. In our affiliate program, we offer many different banners and text links advertising our monthly deals and popular products. Here is a sample of banners that you can put on your site:
TEXT LINKS:
Text links are another popular way to advertise ProBoardshop. Unlike banners, text links are less obtrusive and a more subtle form of advertising on your webpage. These are a great converting tool because they contain concise, straight to the point messages. Here are a few examples:
DATA FEED:
We also offer a very robust (+10,000 products) data feed to our affiliates. This feed is available in both the CJ and Avantlink network to help you populate your page with our products. This is one of the most powerful tools we offer and has a high conversion ratio. If you would like more information on how to use this tool, please don’t hesitate to email me a request: danaw@proboardshop.com
PRODUCT SHOWCASE CREATOR:
This is a tool to be used along side our data feed in the CJ network. For those of you who do not have knowledge in programming, this is the solution for you. The Dynamic Product Showcase Creator is the middleman between you and getting our products up on your site. It takes the time and headache out of presenting our gear on your website by quickly and effectively creating a showcase automatically. It can be found in our Smartlinks section in CJ.
