RubberDolllars.Com - FAQ's and Terms

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q: How does this whole thing work?
A: It's very simple, acutally. When you sign up for the RubberDollars website affiliate program, you will be provided with a special linking code that you can use to link to our sites. This special linking code will contain an ID number that will allow our system to identify all traffic coming from your link. When a surfer clicks your link, our system tracks that surfer and if they sign-up for a membership, you get half the money. It doesn't get much simpler than that, does it?

Q: How do I get people to click the links?
A: There are many ways to promote the sites and we provide you with tools to help you out. If you have your own website, you can place our eye-catching banners on your site or even put up a gallery of sample pictures that we will provide you. If you run a TGP or like submitting galleries to TGP's, we've got free hosted galleries all ready to go. All you have to do is link to them. We are very flexible with our webmasters so let us know what type of site you run and we will try to accommodate you.

Q: Is there anything I can't do to advertise the sites?
A: Yes, but most of these things are common sense. You cannot SPAM your advertisements by sending out unsolicited emails and/or unsolicited instant messages.. You cannot give the surfer the impression that you own or operate our sites. You cannot take pictures or other content from our sites and use them for promotional purposes unless those pictures are part of our promotional tools. You cannot use deceptive forms of advertising. You cannot use password hacking sites, warez sites or any other illegal or inappropriate sites to promote us. You cannot use illegal or inappropriate content in conjunction with your promotion and you cannot use any content that violates copyright laws.

Q: How much money do I get and how do I get paid?
A: We pay you 50% of the money made on surfers you refer to us, including the initial sign-up and any rebills that may follow. Because our sites have good member retention, you can build up a group of recurring members and watch your payouts get larger and larger each month..
The payments are made directly to you by CCBill.com. Checks are mailed to you every week, assuming you have met the minimum number of sales for that week. Your payment will include any new sign-ups and any and all rebills from sign-ups you had previously referred. Deductions are taken for any refunds or chargebacks that result from referrals you have sent.
