How To Find Affiliate Marketing Programs Quickly

Affiliate Marketing

You've found a great merchant. They have tons of information on their home page, and so many links. But where the heck is the link to their affiliate marketing program?

Do not dispair... we've put together some tips how to easily find the affiliate sign-up on your favorite sites, and how to find new affiliate programs.

  • First, scan the top, left and bottom navbars (graphic or text links) for a reference to their affiliate program. If there is none...
  • Do a quick find on the home page. Press the control + f keys on your keyboard (command + f if you are using a Mac). Then enter "affil" (typing only the first few letters is fine and reduces chances of a typo) into the search box that pops up. Try also for "assoc" (short for "associate") and "refer" (short for "referral" or "referrer" program).

More tips...

  • Use Search It!, a powerful little tool, specifically designed for all your e-commerce related searches. Select "Monetization" in Step 1, and "Does THIS Site Have an Affiliate Program" in Step 2, then enter the domain name of the site in question in Step 3.
  • Lastly, if all fails (and you are really eager to become an affiliate of this company), contact their support team by either chat, phone or email.

Now here's some straight advice: If you still can't find an affiliate link after that, or don't hear back from the merchant, forget it. The company probably doesn't have an affiliate program. It's much smarter to move on to the next site. There are thousands upon thousands of affiliate marketing programs out there!

How do you find them? Our Search It! tool comes in handy again.

Go back to the search category "Monetization" in Step 1. In Step 2, you will see other search types, like "Find Affiliate Programs at Google" and "Find Products/Programs at ClickBank". Enter your topic of interest in Step 3. Give it a try. Search It! is super easy to use, and it's free.
