Mastering Affiliate Marketing: A Comprehensive Guide to SuccessAbdulsamad Lukman
Affiliate Marketing is a dynamic and lucrative
method of earning income online, where
individuals or businesses promote products or
services and receive a commission for each
sale, lead, or action generated through their
referral. At its core, affiliate marketing
operates on the principle of revenue sharing,
where merchants reward affiliates for driving
traffic or sales to their business.
Understanding the Basics
Affiliate Marketing is rooted in the concept of
performance-based marketing. Instead of
paying for traditional advertising methods
upfront, merchants pay affiliates only when a
specific action is completed, such as a sale,
lead, or click. This performance-based model
aligns the interests of both parties, as affiliates
are incentivized to generate results for the
merchants they promote.
How Affiliate Marketing Works:
The process of affiliate marketing typically
involves three primary parties: the merchant,
the affiliate, and the customer. The merchant,
also known as the advertiser or retailer, is the
entity that sells the product or service. The
affiliate, often referred to as the publisher,
promotes the merchant's products or services
through various marketing channels. The
customer, of course, is the individual who makes
a purchase or takes the desired action.
When a customer clicks on an affiliate link and
completes the desired action, such as making a
purchase, the affiliate earns a commission. This
commission can vary depending on the
merchant's affiliate program and the terms of
the agreement between the merchant and the
affiliate.
The Role of Affiliates, Merchants, and
Customers
Affiliates play a crucial role in the success of
affiliate marketing by leveraging their platforms,
audience, and marketing skills to drive traffic
and sales for merchants. Affiliates can range

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1

Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

22. Bluehost Affiliate Marketing Guide Affiliate Best Practices 21
Create a How-To Guide
Adding a step-by-step guide to help your readers
sign up for a Bluehost account is an effective way to
increase conversions on your website. While the guide
must be written in your own words, our team can
supply you with sign-up screenshots to accompany
your post (email affiliates@bluehost.com if you’d like
to use our images). Additionally, you can embed our
YouTube tutorials onto your site. Include a tracking
link any time you mention Bluehost on the page,
as well as on every image, so that any purchases
coming from your site will be recorded in your affiliate
account. And make sure that your how-to page is
visible in your menu structure, so it’s easy for visitors
to find your Bluehost endorsement.
23. Bluehost Affiliate Marketing Guide Affiliate Best Practices 22
Add a Resources Page to Your Website
A resources page is a great place to share the
products, companies, or services that you use or
recommend. Add a section about web hosting and
share why you love Bluehost. Include a tracking link
to ensure that purchases coming from your website
will be recorded in your affiliate account. A resources
page is also a great place to have a link directing
readers to your how-to guide (p.21). Finally, make
sure that your resources page is visible in your menu
structure, so it’s easy for visitors to find your Bluehost
endorsement.
24. Bluehost Affiliate Marketing Guide Affiliate Best Practices 23
Place Links and Banners on Your Website
Where you place banners and links on your website makes
a difference. Embed them on your most-visited pages.
Place Tracking Links in Web Copy
Make Your Banners Highly Visible
Place Banners on Popular Pages
You can use your affiliate tracking link anywhere on
your website where you talk about web hosting or
related topics. Simply include a hyperlink in your body
text.
Placing large banners and tracked links in prominent
locations on your website helps visitors see them and
increases your click-through rate. The best place for
banners is “above the fold,” meaning visitors don’t
have to scroll down to see them.
Bluehost’s most successful affiliates place affiliate
banners and links on their homepage, on a hosting or
resources page, and in other high-traffic areas.
25. Bluehost Affiliate Marketing Guide Affiliate Best Practices 24
Use Email Marketing
Sending your affiliate link via email can be a more
personal, effective way to leverage your relationship
with visitors.
Place Tracking Links in Web Copy
Track Your Referrals Closely
You can use your affiliate tracking link anywhere on
your website where you talk about web hosting or
related topics. Simply include a hyperlink in your body
text.
Email tracking is slightly less effective than tracking
referrals from your website. That’s because email
providers sometimes truncate the tracking link. If
you notice that a referral isn’t recorded, contact us
immediately at affiliates@bluehost.com with your
username and the customer’s hosting domain. We
can manually credit your account.
26. Bluehost Affiliate Marketing Guide Affiliate Best Practices 25
Share on Social Media
If you have an active online following, it can make sense
to promote Bluehost on social networks.
Promote Bluehost News and Sales
Talk About Bluehost in Moderation
Direct Followers to Your Website
While affiliate pricing is normally the best deal, we occasionally cut our
prices even lower or offer deals on certain add-on products. Social
media can be a great place to share these promotions. Follow Bluehost
on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram and promote our blog posts and
videos as we announce special deals and savings.
Don’t spam your followers by talking about Bluehost too frequently
or creating social media pages solely to promote Bluehost. Use social
media in a natural way that fits with your regular sharing
and posting schedule.
When possible, point social followers to your how-to guide or resources
page instead of linking them directly to Bluehost’s site. That’s because
social media sites — like email providers — occasionally truncate links,
which can cause tracking errors. Additionally, people are more likely to
sign up after they’ve read your personal review.
27. Bluehost Affiliate Marketing Guide Affiliate Best Practices 26
Other Ways to Recommend Bluehost
Include Testimonials on Your Website
Blog Regularly About Your Bluehost Review
Host Your Site on Our Servers
Visitors feel most comfortable making a purchase
when a product is genuinely recommended. Provide
testimonials on your website and explain why you
personally vouch for Bluehost. Read more about FTC
disclaimer requirements when using endorsements
and testimonials in the Legal Obligations section
(p.38).
Frequent, high-quality content helps your website
rank higher in search engine results and gives you
more exposure. Share your thoughts on web hosting
regularly.
Visitors can perform WHOIS searches to identify
where your website is hosted. When your site is
powered by the same technology you are endorsing,
your recommendation earns more credibility.
28. Bluehost Affiliate Marketing Guide Talking points 27
Talking points
Visitors are more likely to act on endorsements when they’re coupled with
compelling facts. Including the following information on your website will
lend credibility to your recommendation.

34. Bluehost Affiliate Marketing Guide Guidelines for Success 33
Guidelines for Success
It can be hard to pinpoint exactly what makes one website more likely to
generate referrals than another, but our most successful affiliates implement
the following tips.
35. Bluehost Affiliate Marketing Guide Guidelines for Success 34
Create Quality Content
Frequent, high-quality content improves your site’s
search result rankings, drives traffic, and helps you
retain the traffic you already have. Viewers stay on a
page longer or come back when they see something
useful, entertaining, or new. Successful affiliates put
a lot of effort into regularly creating good content for
their websites.
36. Bluehost Affiliate Marketing Guide Guidelines for Success 35
Build a Devoted Following
Your site doesn’t have to be specifically about web
hosting or technology for you to be a successful
Bluehost affiliate. All you need is a devoted following.
Building that audience can take time, but with good
design and quality content, you’ll be able to curate an
audience that trusts your recommendations.
37. Bluehost Affiliate Marketing Guide Guidelines for Success 36
Generate Good Traffic
While every website wants to get a lot of traffic, not
all web traffic is created equal. From an affiliate
marketing perspective, good traffic means attracting
visits from people who are pre-sold by the time they
click on your Bluehost referral link or banner. They
trust your recommendation, want Bluehost products
or services, and are ready to sign up and remain a
customer for a long time. Bad traffic is comprised of
people who are clicking with no intention of following
through.
If you only get one sale for every thousand clicks,
something’s not right. Review your click-to-signup
ratio by visiting the Payout History tab in the Stats
section of your affiliate account. Most affiliates’ ratios
average between 3 to 5 percent. Our most successful
affiliates have double-digit ratios because of the high-
quality traffic they’re generating.
38. Bluehost Affiliate Marketing Guide Guidelines for Success 37
What Not to Do
Don’t offer cash back, rewards, or other incentives.
Don’t use traffic that is generated by pay-to-click
or pay-to-read programs, banner exchanges,
click exchanges, CPV advertising, pop-ups, spam,
purchased traffic, or similar methods.
Don’t use cookie stuffing techniques that set the
tracking cookie without the user actually clicking
on the referral link (for example, a 1x1 pixel iframe).
Don’t bid on or use trademark, trademark +, or
misspelled keywords for the purpose of PPC on
search engines, such as Google, Yahoo, MSN,
and Ask.
Do not use trademark, trademark +, or misspelled
keywords in your domain names or your title pages.
Don’t use redirected pages and links to send a
user to our site. For example, you should not
have a PPC link on a search engine that redirects
the user to our site.
Don’t purchase a domain and set it to forward
directly to our site using your affiliate link.
Don’t copy our website or portions of it and
display them on your own site or subdomain.
Don’t engage in the advertisement of business-
opportunity sites or use marketing practices
that attract fraudulent or short-term customers
(customers with low retention and renewal rates).

Legal Obligations
Please comply with the following guidelines to ensure your
disclosures are satisfactory.
40. Bluehost Affiliate Marketing Guide Legal Obligations 39
The Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) mission is to prevent deceptive
or unfair business practices. In December 2009, the FTC released Guides
Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising. The
guidelines require that any affiliate who uses reviews, rankings, or tes-
timonials to promote products must clearly disclose that they receive
compensation for doing so.
All Bluehost affiliates are required to clearly disclose on their website
that they are earning commissions for their reviews or the traffic coming
to Bluehost from their site. Failure to do so may result in removal from
our affiliate program and the cancellation of commissions in addition to
being penalized by the FTC. You can learn more about the FTC Disclo-
sure requirements at bluehost.com/cgi/partner/terms/ftc.
41. Bluehost Affiliate Marketing Guide Legal Obligations 40
Disclosures Must Be Frequent
Your disclosure must appear on any page that has a
review, recommendation, comment, or article that
promotes a product or service for which you receive
compensation. Remember: you cannot claim that you
do not receive compensation if you receive payment
through an affiliate program.
42. Bluehost Affiliate Marketing Guide Legal Obligations 41
Disclosures Must Be Clear
It must be immediately clear that you may receive
compensation for your review or rating.
Example of a Clear Disclosure
Example of an Unclear Disclosure
We are a professional review site that receives
compensation from the companies whose products we
review. We test each product thoroughly and give high
marks to only the very best. We are independently owned,
and the opinions expressed here are our own.
We are a website that needs compensation to operate
like any other website on the internet. We may receive
consideration for our reviews, but we are totally unbiased
and do not accept paid reviews or fake reviews claiming
to be something they are not.
43. Bluehost Affiliate Marketing Guide Legal Obligations 42
Disclosures Must Be Conspicuous
The disclosure must be clear and easy to see. It
should begin with the word “disclosure.”
For the Disclosure to Be Considered Clear, the
Font Should Be:
At least as large as the main text on the page
In a color other than black or gray.
In contrast both with its background and
the main text.
Darker than its background or the main text.
44. Bluehost Affiliate Marketing Guide Legal Obligations 43
Disclosures Must Require No Action
Your disclosure must be immediately evident to
a typical visitor who views a review, ranking, or
endorsement. A visitor should not need to scroll, click,
or hover to learn that you receive compensation.
If you do include a clickable link or additional
information when a visitor hovers over text, the
language of the link itself should reveal the fact that
you receive compensation.
Example of a Link That Requires No Action
We are compensated for our reviews. Click here for details.
Keep in mind: simply telling the visitor that they can
click or hover to read your FTC disclosure is not
adequate. You need to use the word “disclosure” and
present the nature of the disclosure on the page.
46. Bluehost Affiliate Marketing Guide FAQ 45
What is the Bluehost affiliate program?
What am I going to be selling?
Do I need to have any technical skills?
Does it cost me anything to join the affiliate program?
Do I have to host my website on Bluehost in order to become
an affiliate?
Our affiliate program is designed to help you generate income in
exchange for referring new hosting clients to our company. We pay you
for successfully advertising our brand and services.
You will be selling website hosting — rented space on a server that is
connected to the internet, allowing an individual to put a website online.
Bluehost is a premium web hosting service that offers shared, VPS, and
dedicated servers. From business owners to individuals who need full
functionality on a small budget, Bluehost provides customers with a
complete web hosting solution.
All you have to do is copy and paste a code from the Links tab of your
affiliate dashboard into your website. You can be a successful affiliate
even if you only have basic computer skills.
No. Signing up for our affiliate program is quick, easy, and free. There are
no contracts to sign.
No. You do not have to host your website with us in order to become
an affiliate. However, it can help you increase your referrals and site
credibility when people know you use our services yourself.
47. Bluehost Affiliate Marketing Guide FAQ 46
Can I start promoting your products right after I sign up?
How are my referrals tracked or recorded?
How long do you track a referral?
What happens if a referred account is cancelled?
Yes! After you sign up you will have an active affiliate dashboard
where you can access personalized banners and links to display on
your website (refer to the Campaigns tab in your affiliate dashboard).
However, we cannot pay an affiliate unless we have your tax information
on file. Referrals made to affiliate accounts with no tax documentation
will expire after 90 days.
We track using a special combination of browser info, browser cookies,
referring URL, and IP address.
Our tracking lasts for 90 days and uses multiple methods — unlike other
affiliate programs that only offer cookie tracking. For example, if a visitor
to your website clicked on your affiliate banner and did not sign up
immediately but signs up within 90 days, we will still be able to credit that
referral to you. If a customer clicks links from multiple websites, credit is
awarded to the last affiliate link clicked before signup.
If the referred account is canceled within 90 days of the purchase date,
the referral fee will be reversed, whether or not payment has already
been issued. Referred accounts deleted for fraud or disputed payment
will have credit reversed no matter how much time that has passed since
the sale was made.
48. Bluehost Affiliate Marketing Guide FAQ 47
How much can I earn?
What is required before I am paid?
How do I get paid?
When do I know that the payment has been issued?
You will receive $65 for each referred individual who sets up a new
account and remains a customer for 90 days.
After signing up, you will need to submit a tax form and your account
will need to have recorded a minimum of two referrals. The referral
minimum only applies on the first payout on your account.
Payments are sent using PayPal’s Mass Pay option. This allows us to pay
the transaction fee on delivery so PayPal does not deduct it from your
earnings. For larger affiliates with balances of more than $10,000 per
month, we offer Wire Transfer. To update your payment information,
please contact the affiliate department at affiliates@bluehost.com.
In your affiliate dashboard, click on Payout Information. Once your
payment has been processed, its status will change from pending to a
sent date. To see the domain names associated with credits, click on the
dollar amount shown in the Earnings column of this section.
49. Bluehost Affiliate Marketing Guide FAQ 48
I have a pending credit on my affiliate account. When will I
get paid?
How do I identify which credit is associated with which domain?
All affiliate referrals go through a 45-day aging period after the end of
the month in which the sale occurred. All referrals still associated with
active accounts after this period qualify for commissions which are paid
out starting on the 16th of the month in which the aging period ends
through the end of that same month. For example, commissions on
referrals who purchased in January and have remained customers until
March 15 will be paid between March 16 – 31. Remember, payments are
only issued if your tax form is successfully processed and you have met
the two-referral requirement for the first payout on your account.
Click on the Payout Information tab in your affiliate dashboard. Then
click on the dollar amount shown in the Earnings column for the tracking
period you wish to review. After being redirected, you will find the domain
or domains associated with the credit on the bottom left of the page.
50. Bluehost Affiliate Marketing Guide FAQ 49
The Payout Information section of my affiliate account shows
payment was issued, but I have not received it.
I referred a customer but do not see the credit in my
affiliate account.
I have referred customers in the past before I knew about the
affiliate program. Can I still get referral credits for those?
If you have not received a payment within reasonable delivery time,
please open a ticket in our Help Center for the affiliates department
about the missing payment. Be sure to include the username for your
affiliate account as well as the payment date, amount, and the payment
method by which the funds were issued (PayPal or check number) so
we may look into the matter. These details can be found in the Payout
Information tab of your affiliate account. Replacement payments may
require a $35 replacement fee as described in the terms of service.
Please open a ticket in our Help Center for the affiliates department
immediately. Be sure to include the username for your affiliate account
as well as the primary domain name of the new hosting account you
referred so we may look into the matter.
Retroactive credits are not awarded for hosting accounts purchased
before your affiliate account was created. Once you have joined our
affiliate program, you can refer someone by having them click on your
affiliate tracking link and continue on to purchase a hosting account.
51. Bluehost Affiliate Marketing Guide FAQ 50
You said you had the best tracking system ever; why would I
need to report missing referrals?
Sometimes customers don’t use the link you give them. Sometimes it is
a spinoff account, which means that you moved a domain name from
one hosting account on Bluehost to another and the system counted it
as a duplicate referral. Sometimes customers don’t go through the entire
process, and then they come back later through someone else’s affiliate
link. While there are rare instances in which we cannot credit you for a
missed referral, in most cases, an affiliate manager is able to credit your
account manually with no problem.
I can’t log into my affiliate account. What should I do?
If you are unable to access your affiliate account or change the
password, it is most likely a web browser configuration issue. To
troubleshoot the issue, please try the following steps.
Log on with a PC or Mac. Phone browsers and tablets aren’t reliable
for successful affiliate logins.
Ensure you are using the most recent version of your web browser.
Clean up your current web browser by clearing your cookies and cache.
Disable any third-party applications or add-ons for your browser
that could affect cookies and scripts.
Close and restart the browser. Make sure cookies are enabled.
52. Bluehost Affiliate Marketing Guide FAQ 51
If you’re still having trouble, try resetting your password at bluehost.
com/cgi-bin/partner/forgot. The system will send a password reset link
to the email address we have on file for your affiliate account. Please note:
Once you have reset your password, close the browser. Then open a
new window and log in to your account at http://partner.bluehost.com.
The reset link is only active for one hour.
If you request a reset multiple times, only the last link sent will
be active.
If you fail the login attempt multiple times, your account will be
locked for one hour.
Passwords must include at least one uppercase letter, one
lowercase letter, one number, one symbol, and at least a 50 percent
strong rating.

53. Bluehost Affiliate Marketing Guide FAQ 52
Why do I need to submit a tax form?
I am not a U.S. citizen; do I need to submit a tax form anyway?
Where and how do I submit the tax form?
We are required to report to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service who we
have paid in our own tax records.
We require a tax form for each affiliate account before any payments
may be issued, but tax form questions for international affiliates are
different than those required of U.S. affiliates.
