Join the affiliate program

If you write about ContentMetric, teach it, or recommend it to other businesses, you can earn money from the people you send our way.

Who it is for

Creators, consultants, agencies and communities who already talk to small-business owners about their websites. You do not need to be a customer yourself to apply, though it helps if you are.

What you earn

You earn 30 percent of the full price of the plan a customer pays for, for their first 12 months on ContentMetric. For example, a Pro yearly plan is US$470, so you earn US$141; Business yearly is US$940, so you earn US$282.

• Commissions are held for 60 days before they are confirmed, to cover the normal refund window.
• A refund cancels the commission on that payment.
• Payouts happen monthly, once your confirmed balance reaches US$50. Balances under that roll over to the next month.

Partner codes

Some larger partners also get their own code to give their clients. A sale made with that code is credited to the partner the same way as a sale through the link.

Your link

Once approved, your link looks like this, with your own code at the end:

https://www.contentmetric.com/pricing?via=yourcode

You can add ?via=yourcode to the end of any page on the site, not just the homepage, so you can link to the page that best fits what you are writing about.

First click counts, for 90 days. The first time someone clicks your link, we remember it for 90 days. If they sign up any time in that window, even after visiting other pages or coming back later, the referral is yours. Clicking a second, different affiliate's link afterward does not take it away.

How to apply

Write to us with where you plan to promote ContentMetric (your site, newsletter, channel or community) and roughly how many people you reach. We review every application by hand. Once approved, you will get your own code and link.

Rules

• No bidding on our brand name in paid search ads.
• No self-referrals. You cannot use your own link to sign yourself up or to lower your own bill.
• No coupon or deal-listing sites without our written approval first.
• A refund on a customer's payment cancels the commission on that payment.

Breaking these rules can end your participation in the program and forfeit any pending balance.

Common questions

Do I need to be a paying ContentMetric customer to join? No, but it often helps to know the product you are recommending.

What if someone I referred later cancels? You keep what was already earned and confirmed. A payment they get refunded is removed from your balance; anything already paid out and past the 60-day hold is not clawed back.

Can I see how my link is doing? Once you are approved, we will tell you how to check your clicks, signups and balance.
