There is no real theoretical
limit to the space allocated to each new Affiliate. However our system
monitors all Affiliate account usage to ensure the web space usage is
commensurate with the traffic activity.
Also, each new image created by a user is stored by us to facilitate the
viral marketing feature when someone viewing that image in an email or
from site where the image has been embedded, can click on the image and
be returned to the Affiliate site where the image was created.
However, if an image has not been virally accessed for any period greater
then 60 days, our system purges that image out of public access.
The Affiliate program operates
on a revenue share model based on two banner ads. All new Affiliate
sites have two banner ads – one that belongs to the Affiliate and one
that belongs to PikiCentral.
The position of the two banners is randomly swapped between us on a
regular basis so that we both get equal prime exposure rights. Content
provision of the banners is setup within the Affiliate administration
console and Affiliates have three options for content (1) Google Adsense,
(2) Adbrite, or (3) a custom html banner option. In this way, the revenue
earned by an Affiliates banner goes directly to them without PikiCentral
touching it.
Affiliates can monitor traffic on their site via an in depth traffic
reporting section included within the Affiliate administration console
.
Yes, this can be setup within the Affiliate administration console within the Domain Settings page, which is a sub-menu item of the Settings page.
