Affiliates receive an 18% commissions on net sales. Net sales exclude the credit card and check processing fee (currently about 5%). That means for an annual subscription that sells for the current price of $115.88, you'll earn $19.82.
You'll earn that commission every time one of your subscribers renews. For the life of the subscription. Or the subscriber. Whichever one expires first.
When the subscription price goes up, your 18% applies to the larger amount.

Where should I place the links on my site and how often should I update them?
You should place links where they are easy for your site visitors to find. We suggest placing your links on your homepage, your navigation bar, etc. If you place the links in an easily accessible location, your visitors will be more likely to click through to our site and make a purchase. Because we are consistently releasing new banner ads and offers, please remember to update your links periodically, if not frequently.
All links from your site to our site contain a unique identifier. Every time a user comes to us via your Affiliate links, we know to credit your account when a purchase is made. This is only possible, though, when you create all of your links with the tag generator from the respective Affiliate Network.
