1. What is an affiliate scheme?
An affiliate scheme is a system whereby webmasters advertise and promote the products and services of a merchant thus becoming an affiliate. The affiliates drive traffic to the merchant's website and when the visitor makes a purchase the affiliate is credited with a commission. This allows webmasters of highly ranked and high-traffic sites to make money from their website, at no cost to themselves, and allows merchants to increase traffic to their sites, and thus increase sales.

2. Can anyone apply to be an affiliate?
Yes, anybody with a website can apply. We will look at your site and decide whether it would be appropriate for what we do. We will not accept applications from websites which are pornographic in nature, nor from sites which promote hatred or illegal activity of any kind.

3. Why should I choose you over other schemes available?
Most affiliate schemes will pay on average, a small fixed commission but don't allow you to see the exact amount you'll be receiving. We believe our scheme to be more generous as we pay a percentage of the overall commission and we will show you what you could earn before you fully commit to joining. In addition we provide a full on-screen report of your pipeline of commission from referred sales enquiries.

NB: Signing up doesn’t mean you are committed to becoming an affiliate, only when you place banners or links on your site will you then be able to earn.

4. How long has your company been trading?
We have been trading since 1999 and we can now offer property in the UK, France, Spain and Cyprus either for investment purposes or as a holiday home.  Note: UK property is not available via this affiliate scheme yet.

5. Is there a minimum and maximum amount of time I have to sign up for?
There are no restrictions on the length of time for being an affiliate.

6. Is there a minimum payout each month?
For administration purposes, the minimum payment amount will be £100. If the sales commission does not achieve that target in a month, it will be carried over into subsequent month(s) until it does.

7. Is there a maximum payout each month?
Hell no, the more people buy, the happier everyone will be!

8. How will I know a sale has gone through from my site?
You will receive email notification along with the facility to log into your affiliate control panel which will show you the amount earned in real time.

9. I have more than one site. Can I put your ads on all of them?
Yes, you can use your affiliate control panel to put banners on as many sites as you please.

10. Will my affiliate control panel be secure?
Yes, your login and password will be unique to you. You can change your password at anytime through your control panel.

11. How do I put your banners on my site?
In your affiliate control panel click on the Banners/Links link in the navigation on the left. Here you can view all our banners and pick which one you think will best suit your site. Underneath each banner is a text box and the words Code to insert to your page:. Just select the code in the textarea and copy it to the clipboard, then paste it into your HTML page wherever you think it would look best. In the case of text banners, you can add whatever style markup you like to make the text fit better into the look and feel of your site.

12. How do I get paid?
Company cheque.

13. When do I get paid?
Cheques will be dispatched in the first 1-7 days of each calendar month to cover commissions from the previous month. ( January may vary )

14. Do I have to advertise all of your sites and products?
The choice is yours, whatever you are comfortable with.

15. How do I change my payment details?
You can change all of your details, including payment address etc, through the Profile option in your affiliate control panel.

16. How long does the referral cookie last?
The referral cookie will last for 7 days and covers all of our sites. What this means is that if you refer someone to one of our sites looking for a 2-bedroom apartment in Nice, for example, but they decide not to go ahead with the purchase, the cookie is still stored on their machine for a week. If they should later find one of our sites through Google and decide to buy a 1-bedroom apartment in Cyprus, then you would get the commission for the Cypriot property. Or even better for both of us, if they bought the apartment in Nice the first time that you referred them to us, and then subsequently found us through Google and bought the apartment in Cyprus as well, you would get the commission on both sales. We currently have 3 sites in the affiliate network with a wide range of properties which are updated on a daily basis.

Once a client is registered with us and provided that we did not already have their details on the database we will pay commission on any sale to that client for 365 days from the date of registration.

If the client is already registered with us but you send us an enquiry from them on a different property that they have not already enquired about then this sale would be credited to you but other sales to the same client of different properties that had not come through you would not.

17. How do I create a text link to a different page than the default landing page?
In your affiliate control panel there is a link for Custom Dynamic Link. Clicking on this link creates a pop-up which asks for the page you wish to direct users to, the title of the link and any description you wish to enter. After you've entered these details it will give you the HTML code which you need to put into your page. These links are bare of any style markup, so please feel free to add style tags to make the link fit in with the design of your site. You may want to use these links if you want to direct users to specific product pages rather than a site homepage.

18. How do I create a banner link to a different page than the default landing page?
In the Banners/Links section of your control panel, you will see that every banner has a Dynamic Link link in its title bar. Clicking on this creates a pop-up which asks where you want to direct visitors too. Once you enter the destination URL it will give you the HTML code to put into your page. You may want to use these links if you want to direct users to specific product pages rather than a site homepage.

19. Where can I find more help if I can't find my solution here?
Please contact the affiliate manager here

20. Can I copy text and images from your sites for use in my affiliate site ?
You may use our text from our sites only if you rewrite at least 80% of the content - this is because Google will see this as duplicate content otherwise and not benefit either one of us and possibly cause us both harm. Images may also be used. This licence to use the text information and images in this way is only granted whilst you are an active affiliate for us and we or you have not cancelled your affiliate agreement with ourselves.

21. What's the affiliate RSS feed ?
We can provide you with an RSS feed containing the description of our latest available properties, a link to an image of that property and the link that your visitors should follow to enquire about the property, already encoded with your affiliate ID. By using an RSS parser you can integrate these details into your site however you choose. Two examples of such parsers are Magpie RSS and CaRP.
If you would like an RSS feed for your site, or for more information, you can contact us here.

21. What's the affiliate JavaScript include ?
We can provide you with a link to a JavaScript file which will output the details and picture of our latest properties. By using CSS styling you can tailor this output to seamlessly integrate into the look-and-feel of your site. All the links output by the script are already encoded with your affiliate ID.
If you would like a JavaScript feed for your site, or for more information, you can contact us here.

22. What percentage do I get for a property sale?
We offer an initial 10% of the company earnings on net sales commission from the developer on any property sold through our affiliates which can rise depending on the success of the individual affiliate. If you are a large site who can provide a large number of click-throughs and you would like to discuss an increased percentage deal - please contact us here
