RegNow Affiliates Make Money by Sending your Traffic to No1Downloads.com!

 

All our software is sold through the software affiliate network RegNow. RegNow offer commissions on all the software in their catalog, ranging from 5% all the way up to 85% of the price of the software. Link to us with our special affiliate link and we'll give you 100% of the commissions from RegNow, meaning you could earn anything from 5% to 85% on any and all of the software listed on No1Downloads.com - over 25,000 software titles and counting, including many bestselling software titles. Once you link to us with your RegNow affiliate link, your affiliate ID will be added to ALL the software products on our site! Not only that, but with our 30 day cookie, you'll get the commissions even if the user doesn't make a purchase on his/her first visit, but instead decides to purchase up to 30 days later!

How does it work?

 

1. Sign up with RegNow and get your RegNow affiliate ID - visible in the top right of your account page.

2. Link to any page on No1Downloads.com and append your RegNow affiliate ID to the end of the URL like so...

 

http://www.no1downloads.com?aid=YOUR-REGNOW-AFFILIATE-ID

 

Insert your regnow affiliate ID as shown above. Remember that your affiliate ID is just the number portion of your ID, so for example if (a61773) appears at the top of your account area in RegNow, then your affiliate ID is 61773, i.e. there is no need for the 'a'. In this case your No1Downloads.com affiliate link should look like this...

 

http://www.no1downloads.com?aid=61773

 

We also have other optional tags available that you may add to your affiliate link, allowing you to hide user reviews, and add your coupon codes to our "Buy Now" links. See below for more information.

 

 

 

Why Link to No1Downloads.com Instead of Directly to the RegNow Order Form?

 

 

Here's why we think you'd be better off linking to us...

 

1. Free Trial Downloads Available on Most Products

 

With software, people usually like to download a free trial first. No1Downloads.com offer free trial downloads wherever one is available - by browsing our site you will see that free trial downloads are available on most of our listed software products. Rest assured, that when someone downloads a free trial version of any of our software, your affiliate ID will be embedded in the link. This means that YOUR RegNow affiliate ID will be PERMANENTLY associated with the trial download version of that product. When the free trial period on the software download eventually expires after 7 - 30 days or so and the user is prompted to buy the full version of the product or register the product by purchasing a license key, you will still get the commission on the sale, just as if they bought the software straight away using the 'Buy Now' link!

 

This gives the user the option to either buy now or download a free trial and buy later. Linking directly to the RegNow order form only gives the user the option of buying now. However, many users will want to download a free trial of any software they plan on buying and so will leave the RegNow order form without making a purchase. Offering your visitors a free trial download of any software means they are much more likely to download it, which will dramatically increase your conversion rates.

 

RegNow do offer affiliate links that point to the trial download version of their software titles, however this means that you have to host two affiliate links - one 'Buy Now' link and one 'Free Trial Download' link. It also means that it looks like the free trial download is hosted on your site, since once the user clicks on this link, the software trial appears to download directly from your site. This means that customers will keep coming back to you, the affiliate, with their technical and billing problems! No1Downloads.com acts as a go-between, ensuring your customers don't come crying to you with their technical problems. We offer the customer a 'Buy Now' link and a 'Free Trial Download' link (wherever one is available) so you only need to link to us with a single link from your site.

 

 

2. Link to ANY PAGE on Our Site and get Full Commissions on ALL our Listed Products

 

You can link to any page within No1Downloads.com, and you will still receive the commission on ALL our listed products. So for instance, if you wish to link to DVD-Cloner, you would just search for 'DVD-Cloner' using our search form, find the link for the product page, and add your affiliate ID to the end like this...

 

http://www.no1downloads.com/product_detail.php/pid/8959-1/pa/DVD-Cloner-VI?aid=YOUR-REGNOW-AFFILIATE-ID

 

So if your affiliate ID is 61773, your direct link to DVD-Cloner would look like this...

 

http://www.no1downloads.com/product_detail.php/pid/8959-1/pa/DVD-Cloner-VI?aid=61773

 

If the user later decides not to purchase DVD Cloner, but instead decides to purchase or download another product from our site, then you will still get 100% of the commission for that other product!

 

This is simply not the case when you link directly to the RegNow order form. When you link to the RegNow order form for a particular product, you will only get the commission if the customer decides to purchase that particular product.

 

 

3. Our Own 30-Day Cookie with YOUR RegNow Affiliate ID!

 

When a user follows your affiliate link to No1Downloads.com, your RegNow affiliate ID is removed from the end of the link and placed into a cookie on the user's machine. This means that even if the user doesn't make a purchase right away but returns to make a purchase from No1Downloads.com at any other time within the next 30 days, you will still get the commission. If the user makes multiple purchases from No1Downloads.com, you will get the commission on ALL these sales, as long as they happen within 30 days of your last referral to No1Downloads.com.

 

Unlike most websites, our cookies are set and read using PHP, not Javascript. This means that even if the user has Javascript switched off on his machine, your affiliate ID will still be set inside a cookie on the user's machine and you will still get all the commissions on every sale.

 

 

4. User Reviews Keep People (and Search Engines) Coming Back for More!

 

Our user reviews on No1Downloads.com will keep people coming back to the site to read reviews on whichever software they're thinking of buying - both now and in the future. Make sure you get the commissions on all these sales by linking to us and thus ensuring that your affiliate ID is embedded in a cookie on the user's machine. Remember: even if they don't purchase the software product from the page you link to but instead decide to purchase another product from our site, you will still get 100% of the commissions.

 

Ever-changing user reviews on each and every page also ensures that our pages remain fresh in the eyes of search engines, helping us rank higher. This means that if the user doesn't buy straight away and returns at a later date, there is a good chance that he/she will do so through our site after finding it again through Google or Yahoo! Any purchase made from our site will then use your RegNow affiliate ID!

 

If you'd rather hide the user reviews from your referred customer on any particular product, then simply add &noreviews=1 to the end of your affiliate link! More on this below!

 

 

5. Offer your Customers Special Offer Discounts Through No1Downloads.com

 

RegNow allows its affiliates to create coupon codes for particular products, thus allowing the affiliate to offer special offer prices on various products. The reduction in price is then deducted from the affiliate's commission. So for instance, if a software product costs $100 and the commission is $50, the affiliate may choose to create a coupon code for that product giving the user, say, $20 off, reducing the product cost to $80. This $20 reduction is the deducted from the affiliate's commission, so that the affiliate now gets just $30 instead of $50 in commissions. Many RegNow affiliates choose to do this in order to secure a sale by offering the software at a lower cost through their link.

 

No1Downloads.com allows you to add this coupon code and the new software price to your affiliate link by adding &couponcode=YOUR-COUPON-CODE&offerprice=NEW-SOFTWARE-PRICE to the end of your affiliate link. You will obviously need to replace YOUR-COUPON-CODE and NEW-SOFTWARE-PRICE with your RegNow coupon code and the reduced software price (in US dollars) respectively. Note that you should NOT include the dollar sign in your link. See the examples below!

 

If you choose to use these additional tags then we will display your new software price on the product detail page with an urgent call to action for the user to buy. We will also add your coupon code to all our "Buy Now" links for the particular product you link to, so that the discount is automtaically applied when the user clicks through. You should note, however, that these additional tags are entirely optional. If you do choose to use them, remember to create your coupon code correctly using the Offer Manager by logging into your RegNow affiliate account. Please also test your links before going live with them.

 

 

 

6. Zero Affiliate Leaks

 

Unlike many other software websites, where affiliates easily lose commissions through leaky vendors using multiple payment processors, No1Downloads.com ONLY promotes software hosted by RegNow. We also don't link to the homepages of the software manufacturers themselves, which may sell the software through a payment processor other than RegNow. ALL our 'Buy Now' links go directly through RegNow and our 'Free Trial Download' links are all links to software hosted by RegNow. You will never lose your commissions by sending your traffic to us!

 

 

7. Take Advantage of RegNow's HUGE Database of Software!

 

RegNow have one of the largest databases of software products in the industry - over 25,000 titles and counting, with around 10 new titles being added every day. Their catalog includes many of the most popular software titles on the web. ALL of these products will be listed on No1Downloads.com, complete with 'Buy Now' links, 'Free Trial Download' links, full software descriptions provided by the manufacturer, and user reviews, giving yet more information on each product.

 

Our catalog is read directly from the RegNow database, meaning that as soon as new software or new software versions are added to the RegNow catalog, they immediately appear on our site. Offer your customers the latest releases by linking to No1Downloads.com!

 

 

8. Still Take Advantage of RegNow's Cookie

 

If any of your referred customers click on any of our 'Buy Now' links then the RegNow cookie with YOUR RegNow affiliate ID in it will be placed on their machines just as if they'd clicked on your affiliate link to the RegNow order form directly. So you literally have nothing to lose! However, we back up RegNow's cookie with our own cookie, giving you an extra chance to reap your commissions should the customer decide to purchase at a later date instead of right away.

 

 

9. No Advertising on No1Downloads.com!

 

Unlike most other software download sites, we have absolutely no advertising on No1Downloads.com. No banner ads, no Google ads, nothing at all that might distract your customer from making a purchase. The last thing we want is for your referred customer to come to our site, get distracted by an advertisement for a similar product and leave our site, costing you your commission! So we do everything we can to ensure a sale - and that means no advertising. Ever!

 

 

10. Our Site is Simple, Minimalist and Very Easy to Use.

 

All our software is categorized by category and subcategory in the exact same way it is on the RegNow website and our search box is visible at the top of each page, allowing our users to easily find what they want. An advanced search form is also coming soon!

 

 

 

Constructing your Affiliate Links

 

The most basic affiliate link is as follows...

 

http://www.no1downloads.com?aid=YOUR-REGNOW-AFFILIATE-ID

 

You can the add various optional tags as follows...

 

1. To hide product reviews from a particular user, add the following tag to the end of your URL...

 

&noreviews=1

 

Note that this tag will only work for ONE particular product at a time (and will last for 30 days in duration). You must link directly to a product detail page for this tag to work. Your affiliate ID will still be applied to all products on our site but this tag will only apply to the product listed on the product detail page you link to.

 

 

2. To offer special offer discounts on products, you must first create a coupon code by logging into your RegNow affiliate account and using the Offer Manager to create a coupon for a particular product. Once you've done that, you may link to the product detail page for that product on No1Downloads.com by adding the following tags to the end of your affiliate URL...

 

&couponcode=YOUR-COUPON-CODE&offerprice=NEW-SOFTWARE-PRICE

 

Note that these tags must both be used together for them to work, and they will only work for ONE product at a time (and will last for 30 days in duration). You must link directly to a product detail page for these tags to work. Your affiliate ID will still be applied to all products on our site but these additional tags will only apply to the product listed on the product detail page you link to. If you use these tags, we will add your coupon code to our "Buy Now" links for that particular product so that your special offer discount is immediately applied on the RegNow order form. We will also display your special offer price in red on our product detail page, together with an urgent call to action for the user to buy right away.

 

 

 

Example Links

 

1. If your affiliate ID was 61773 then your generic affiliate link to No1Downloads.com would be...

http://www.no1downloads.com?aid=61773

 

2. If you want to link to a particular category, such as our Video category, your link would look like this...

http://www.no1downloads.com/product_list.php/cid/90/cp/1/pa/Video?aid=61773

 

3. Let's say you want to promote a particular software product like DVD Cloner (product ID 8959-1) then your basic affiliate link would look like this...

http://www.no1downloads.com/product_detail.php/pid/8959-1/pa/DVD-Cloner-VI?aid=61773

 

4. If you wanted to promote DVD Cloner but hide any user reviews from your customer, then use this...

http://www.no1downloads.com/product_detail.php/pid/8959-1/pa/DVD-Cloner-VI?aid=61773&noreviews=1

 

5. If you wanted to promote DVD Cloner at a special offer price of $40 and your RegNow coupon code was MAMMA-MIA your link would be ...

http://www.no1downloads.com/product_detail.php/pid/8959-1/pa/DVD-Cloner-VI?aid=61773&couponcode=MAMMA-MIA&offerprice=80

 

Note that you should NOT include the dollar sign for the special offer price (e.g. offerprice=80). The price is assumed to be in US dollars. Your coupon code must also be a valid coupon code provided to you by RegNow or the link will not work. You can generate a coupon code by visiting your RegNow affiliate account and going to the Offer Manager.

 

6. If you wanted to promote DVD Cloner at a special offer price of $40 with your RegNow coupon code of MAMMA-MIA and you also wanted to hide the user reviews for DVD Cloner your link would be ...

http://www.no1downloads.com/product_detail.php/pid/8959-1/pa/DVD-Cloner-VI?aid=61773&couponcode=MAMMA-MIA&offerprice=80&noreviews=1

Test Your Links

 

After linking to us with your affiliate link, please be sure to test your links work. Click on a few different 'Buy Now' links and when you get taken to the RegNow order form, you should see YOUR RegNow affiliate ID embedded in the URL. Hover over any 'Free Trial Download' link and you should also see YOUR affiliate ID embedded in the link (look at your browser's status bar to see the link when you hover over any of these buttons).

 

Test that our cookie works by closing the site and then opening it again in a new browser window by navigating to No1Downloads.com directly, i.e. not through your affiliate link. Click on any of our 'Buy Now' buttons or hover over any of our 'Free Trial Download' links and you should still see YOUR RegNow affiliate ID embedded in ALL these links.

 

If you've added the "noreviews" tag or special offer price tags to your affiliate link, then please also make sure these work, especially the special offer price tags. Follow our "Buy Now" links to your selected product and make sure your coupon code has been applied correctly. Remember that your coupon code will only be used for the product you linked to.

 

 

 

 

So why not give it a try?

 

Link to us from your website, blog, forum or even directly from your sponsored Google ad and let our website convert the sales for you. You will never lose your commissions and your affiliate link will be used in ALL our outgoing links for a full 30 days after your last referral.

 

All we ask is that you please refrain from sending us traffic that results from email spamming. We have a zero email spamming policy and can delete the cookies of any affiliates we suspect of spamming. If you spam us we will also report you to RegNow who will cancel your affiliate account.

 

If you're a new RegNow affiliate or are thinking of promoting software on your site then there has never been a better time to start sending us your traffic. If you're an existing RegNow affiliate then swap their links for ours for a couple of months and watch your commissions gradually start to increase!
