Is my site eligible to become an eMusic.com Affiliate?

eMusic.com wants to work with all sites, from large commercial sites to individual web pages, and everything in between. Anyone may submit an application. We review each and every potential affiliate web site before accepting it into the network. We do reserve the right to refuse a site if it contains objectionable material, including pornography, explicit language or content, or support for violent groups. Additionally, we reserve the right to terminate an affiliated site from the eMusic.com Affiliates program at any time for any reason.

What does it cost to join?

Nothing! It's absolutely free to join the eMusic.com Affiliate Program. You are free to cancel at any time.

I'm an eMusic artist or label. Can my web site be an eMusic.com Affiliate?

Yes! What better way to sell more copies of your music than by linking your site directly to a downloadable music site? If you are an artist or label web site, you can sell your products directly to your web site visitors using your own ordering and fulfillment systems. For other available music, you can link to eMusic.com. We only ask that you make it clear to your visitors which music they will be buying from you and which music they will be buying from eMusic.com.

I don't have a web site yet. Can I apply to be an Affiliate anyway?

Unfortunately, no. In order for us to process your application, your web site must be live so that we can review it.

How do I get links to eMusic.com?

It's easy. Once your application is accepted you are provided access to links through Commission Junction. To get links just log in to your Commission Junction account and click on the “Get Links” tab. Next, pick out the link you would like to post on your site and click “Get HTML” under the “Actions” column. This will provide you with the proper HTML to include on your site.

What is my responsibility as an eMusic.com Affiliate?

You set up as many links as you'd like to eMusic.com, in the way that works best for your site. We do ask that you place links on your site in a timely fashion. We invite you to link to just about anything on our site, including specific Genres, Labels, Artists, and Albums.

What is eMusic.com's responsibility?

eMusic.com will provide you with the content and support you need to make the most of our partnership. Commission Junction is your online resource center for merchandising ideas, graphics, links and more. Additionally, you can contact us for further help at affiliates@emusic.com. And of course, we handle orders, billing customers, paying your commissions, and managing customer service.

Will you help me with my site?

Yes! Commission Junction provides extensive customer support through Commission Junction University (CJU). Once you are accepted click the CJU link in the top right corner off your screen for help with everything from basic functions within CJ to advertising strategies.

Can I use the eMusic.com name and logo on my site?

Yes. Users want to know they are buying from a company they can trust. But please do not alter our logo in any way.

Can I change and update my links whenever I want?

Yes. You can use Commission Junction and CJU to get ideas for new titles and features to promote on your site. You may change and update the links on your site at any time, based on seasonal promotions, what's hot in the news, or for whatever other reasons you wish.

How are orders tracked and credited to my site?

All links from your site to eMusic.com contain your site's unique Source ID so that every time a user comes to us via your site, we know to credit you when a purchase is made. Make sure that all links on your site are generated by Commission Junction to ensure that they are tracked correctly.

How much will I be paid?

As an eMusic affiliate you make generous bounties for giving away FREE MP3s! You make $6 when customers you refer sign up for a FREE trial subscription, even if they decide not to subscribe!

I operate more than one web site. Can you track them separately but pay me with one commission check?

You do not need to submit URLs (or pages) within the same site or domain. If you do not want to separate reports for separate sites, you can use the same code on all sites. If you would like to get separate reports for each site, send the names and URLs to affiliates@emusic.com with "Track Separately" in the subject and we will add them to your profile. Then you will be able to create links specifically for each site and get separate reports under one account.

When will I be paid?

You will be paid monthly; the first month period starts on the date you are accepted into the network. If your commission and/or bounty for any month is less than $25, the total amount of the commission and/or bounty will be carried to the next month. Once the commission and/or bounty passes $25, a check will be sent to you at the end of the month for the complete amount owed to you up until the end of that month.

How will I monitor my sales from day to day?

We offer online reports on Commission Junction that are updated daily. These reports include your sites total impressions, clicks, and commissions earned among other useful statistics. You will be able to access these reports and use the information to make your site more profitable.

Can I give my web site developers access to Commission Junction to create links and retrieve content but not see reports?

Yes. Please provide us with the names and email addresses of the individuals whom you would like to have access only to tools and content on Commission Junction and a special permission level will be set up for them.
