Hi there --



I read somewhere here in the forums that you have to wait a week or so for your affiliate program to show up in the affiliate program area. But it's been longer than a week. When I search for the name of my business in the affiliate programs area, it lists two of my products.



And when I click to view one of those products (in the shop) and scroll to the bottom of that product page, and click the link to visit my affiliate program, it doesn't show up in that list either.



What am I doing wrong?



THANK YOU! :wink:

Our site's built-in search function is handled by Google, so products new to the E-junkie Marketplace would not appear in search results until the next time Google revisits our site, about every week or so. Unfortunately, we don't have any control over how often Google revisits our site or how good a job they do at updating their index of our site, but you can at least see all your product listings right away in your own E-junkie Shop page here:

The link at the bottom of a product listing would be to join your affiliate program, rather than just viewing other product listings for your program. Clicking that link would take an affiliate to their E-junkie Affiliate Admin (after logging in if they weren't already logged in) and joins them to your program, so they should then see you listed in the Select Merchant menu in their Affiliate Admin.



If you tested that link to join your own program, it may not have worked if you'd previously joined and then deleted yourself as an affiliate of your program, because deleted affiliates are banned from rejoining the same program by the usual sign-up links. You can manually reinstate yourself from Seller Admin > View/Edit Affiliates.

Thank you. :)



Yes, I did test that link to join my program. And it didn't work. And I checked and was not an affiliate at any point. So do you know why it is I am not seeing my affiliate program listed anywhere?

If you'd previously joined your own program and then removed yourself, you would not see any trace of having been an affiliate previously. Go to Seller Admin > View/Edit Affiliates, then enter your Affiliate ID # (40836) where indicated and click Undelete Affiliate. If you then appear in your list of affiliates, that confirms you'd previously joined and removed yourself.



If that didn't reinstate you, sometimes browser settings/add-ons that affect cookies or javascript can interfere with joining via sign-up link if the affiliate isn't already logged into E-junkie when they click the link. The solution to this is to log into E-junkie, stay logged in, and then click the sign-up link. This help page covers the matter in a bit more detail:
