The Affiliate Program allows you to place links to HealthInsurance.com
on your website. By placing these links, visitors on your site
have the opportunity to conveniently compare and select health
insurance plans for themselves or their small businesses. If a
completed application and a valid check are submitted by a user
who accesses HealthInsurance.com through your website, we pay
you a program fee of $25 per user.
Q: Why should I join HealthInsurance.com's
Affiliate Program?
There are many reasons to join! Becoming an Affiliate is free,
simple and profitable. As an Affiliate, you can add value to the
content of your own site and let HealthInsurance.com handle the details.
Q: Does it cost me anything to become an
Affiliate?
Absolutely not. It's free to join the HealthInsurance.com Affiliate
Program -- and we'll pay you after only two referrals.
Q: How do I sign up?
Read the HealthInsurance.com Affiliate Program
Agreement and then click on the "I Accept" button.
Fill out a brief online application form, and you
will receive a confirmation e-mail with your user
name, password and detailed setup instructions. If
your site doesn't qualify, you will also be notified
by e-mail.
Add the HealthInsurance.com logo link to your homepage
and earn a program fee every time one of your website
visitors signs up for health insurance. For more
detailed linking information, go to http://reports.healthinsurance.com.
Start earning revenue! Once your application has
been approved and you have added links to HealthInsurance.com,
you'll automatically be ready to begin earning revenue.
Q: How does the program work?
The Affiliate Program allows you to make money by referring customers
to our website. It's also an excellent way to enhance your site and
offer more value to your customers.
Here's how it works:
You place HealthInsurance.com advertising and promotion links on your site. Every time a visitor referred
from your site submits a completed application for health insurance, you earn a program fee of $25. We'll mail you a
check on a monthly basis, provided that your Affiliate account has a balance of at least $50. If you only earn $25 the
first month, this money is carried over until you earn a total of $50. It's that easy!
Q: Can a website outside the United States
be an Affiliate?
Yes. We welcome Affiliates from anywhere in the world. However,
HealthInsurance.com presently offers health insurance coverage only
in the United States.
Q: I operate more than one website. Can
I still be an Affiliate?
Yes. You can have multiple sites as an Affiliate. You can have
one Affiliate account with us that will include all of your sites
and allow you to track the progress of each site separately.
Q: Does my website qualify for the Affiliate
Program?
Most websites will qualify to participate in the program. Anyone
may submit an application, but we do reserve the right to refuse
membership to a site or revoke a site's membership at any time if
we deem that it contains objectionable material. Some examples of
sites that would NOT qualify for participation include:
Sites that promote violence
Sites that promote discrimination
based on race, sex, religion,
national origin, physical disability, sexual orientation or age
Sites that promote sexually
explicit material
Sites that promote illegal
activities
Sites that violate intellectual
property rights
Q: What are my responsibilities as an Affiliate?
The only thing you are responsible for is using the tag generator
on reports.healthinsurance.com to create and place links on your site. We handle
everything else.
Q: What if the content of my website changes
after I join the program?
If the subject matter or content of your site changes significantly,
we will need to reevaluate your Affiliate membership. Please e-mail
us at affiliates@healthinsurance.com to notify us of any major changes.
Q: I don't have a website. Can I still apply?
Unfortunately, no. In order for us to accept you as an Affiliate,
we must be able to view your website.
Q: Can I participate in HealthInsurance.com's
Affiliate Program if I am an affiliate with other sites?
Yes. If you are a member of the HealthInsurance.com's Affiliate
Program, you may have links to other websites on your site, as long
as the other links don't contain objectionable material.
Q: What if I am an Association or Licensed
agent/broker?
If you are a trade or professional association or a licensed agent/broker,
and offer substantial access to the small-business or individual
health coverage marketplace through your customers/members, Healthinsurance.com
may be able to offer you an expanded partnership with additional
benefits. For more information, please review our Association Opportunity
Page or contact us today at affiliates@healthinsurance.com and tell
us you are interested in expanded partnership opportunities.
Q: How do I change my account information?
Once you have been accepted as an Affiliate, you will be given
access to your account information on http://reports.healthinsurance.com. Your account
information can be modified there.
Q: Will becoming an Affiliate increase traffic
to my site?
Our Affiliate Program is a revenue-sharing program. It is not designed
to help you increase traffic to your site. However, it will enhance
your site with content, and provide a valuable service to your visitors,
making it more likely that they will return.
Q: Should I mention my Affiliation with
HealthInsurance.com on my website?
We encourage our Affiliates to download a HealthInsurance.com logo
from our graphics and logos section at http://reports.healthinsurance.com to let your
visitors know that your site is "in association with HealthInsurance.com." This
allows you to add immediate brand recognition to your site.
Q: How do I create links?
We have an automatic tag generator on http://reports.healthinsurance.com that creates
HTML which can easily be cut and pasted into your website. It's so
easy to use that even beginners can create links in seconds.
Q: Where should I place the links on my
site?
You should place links where they are easy for your site visitors
to find, such as on your homepage. Other recommended areas include
your navigation bar and other places where you get a high amount
of traffic. If you place the links in an easily-accessible location,
your visitors will be more likely to click on them.
Q: How often should I update my links?
You do not need to update links to our site. Your link will always
go directly to HealthInsurance.com's home page.
Q: Can I use your content on my site?
No, you cannot use HealthInsurance.com's content on your site.
Q: How much can I earn?
We can't predict how much you'll earn from our Affiliate Program,
as your earning potential is determined by the number of visitors
to your website who submit both a completed application for health
insurance and a valid check.
Q: How do I know how much money I've earned
in program fees?
Through http://reports.healthinsurance.com, you can access your progress reports,
which are updated daily. These reports provide information on click-throughs,
submitted applications and program fees earned.
Q: How often do I get paid?
We will cut and mail you a check every month, provided your Affiliate
account has a balance of at least $50. If you only earn $25 in a
month, this money is carried over until you earn a total of $50.
Q: What about withdrawn or declined applications?
If an application is withdrawn or declined, your Affiliate account
balance will be reduced by 90% of the program fee earned on that
referral.
Q: Can I monitor my referrals?
Every HealthInsurance.com link that you place on your site contains
a unique identifying number. That way, when a visitor comes to HealthInsurance.com
through your site, we can credit you if they submit an application
accompanied by a valid check. It's very important to create your
links using the automatic HTML generator on http://reports.healthinsurance.com, so
you can be properly credited for each submitted application.
Q: How will you know that the applications
came from my site?
All links from your site to our site contain a unique identifier,
so that every time a user comes to us via your site, we know to credit
you when an application is submitted. However, this is only possible
if you create all of your links using the tag generator on http://reports.healthinsurance.com.
Q: How often can I run reports?
You can run reports daily if you wish. reports.healthinsurance.com, our reporting
website, is regularly updated with the latest information about your
site's referrals.
Q: I have more than one URL. Can I register
both/all of them?
Yes. You have two options:
You can have one account listing all of
your URLs. Apply only once; then, after receiving
your acceptance e-mail, you should contact
affiliates@healthinsurance.com and provide
the multiple URLs so we can add them as sub-sites
to your master account. By doing this, each
of your sites will be assigned a unique site
ID so you can track the banner activity on
each URL separately while still getting one
commission check and logon.
You can open a separate account for each
URL (which means you have to submit an application
for EACH URL). This option will provide you
with a separate logon for each site you maintain.
An Affiliate might choose this option if
he or she would like to receive seperate
checks for each URL.
