How to choose
- Start with the product your audience would actually use. A fit with your audience matters more than the commission rate.
- Check that the program allows the place you post, and read its rules on paid ads and coupons.
- You can often join both. Many affiliates promote competing tools and explain who each one suits.
Who pays: each company sets and pays its own commissions and can change its terms at any time. Green Gator Affiliator does not pay, hold or guarantee any earnings. Confirm current terms on each official page before you apply. New to this? Read affiliate marketing basics.
