Affiliate program not showing up

[guest_user]

I am trying to set up an affiliate program for a product and think I've done it correctly, but it doesn't show up when I go to look for it in the list of E-Junkie affiliate programs.

Please make sure that you have not disabled making affiliate programs public in Admin > Preferences and also that you have create a listing for the product you have added from Admin > List your item in E-junkie shop.

I'm having this issue as well. I've set up the product correctly. In general account prefences, the box for listing the affiliate program in the market place is checked. When I do a marketplace search, the product appears. When the product is selected, there is the option to join the affiliate program. However, when I do a search specifically under "affiliate programs," nothing comes up for my product.

Our server updates the search results index for our site's built-in Search function on a weekly basis, so after you add a product listing in your E-junkie Marketplace shop, it may take a week or so before you can perform a Search on our site to find that product, or after you add affiliate program settings for the product, then it may take a week or so before you can find it in an affiliate program search on our site.



However, you should almost instantly be able to find a new product listing in your main Marketplace shop page:

...and newly-enabled affiliate programs should show up right away in your Marketplace affiliate programs section:

Hi



Our affiliate program has been launched last week, but when I search for it, at e-Junkie.com as a potential affiliate using keywords such as 'dividend', 'income', 'investor',

'investing' we are not showing at all in your keyword results.



Why not?

The search function on our site is managed by Google, so we don't really have any input on their results at all. They tend to update their results once a week, so if you have added your product to our marketplace it should be showing soon if it is not already.



However, very few buyers or potential affiliates search through our website looking for products to buy or promote. The best way to gather affiliates is from your own website directly, or by contacting potential affiliates and providing them with your sign up link directly. You might wish to do a general search on "online marketing forums" to find places to get in touch with potential affiliates or advertise your program.

Dividend Income Investor.com Guide to Dividend Investing affiliate program still not showing in your search results??

[E-junkie_Monster]

Sorry about that. I've just noticed that you are still on a trial account. Due to abuse we have had to limit marketplace search results to paying subscribers, so your shop will not be submitted to the search results until you start a subscription.



Again though, we'd recommend that you promote your product and affiliate program directly. Even once you are in the search results you will not see a lot of people finding your listing by those means because there's not a lot of people searching through our marketplace for products to buy or promote as affiliates.
