If you have a website or a blog, you can simply place your unique partner links and/or banners/logos/ad texts on any of your website/blog pages. The more visitors click on these links and banners, the bigger traffic you will be driving to www.xemarkets.com, and the greater the chances are for client conversion.

The traffic driven through these links and banners will be tracked and linked to your affiliate account. This identifies who your clients are.

[spoiler]Offline advertising can be as profitable as online advertising. If you don’t have a website or blog to place links and banners, there are several other ways to attract clients:

• you can invite your friends and contacts from forums, or from social networking sites (e.g. Facebook, Twitter) to XEMarkets by posting your partner link in your status messages/tweets;
• you can invite your friends via email, Skype, ICQ, or other software applications by sending them your partner link.

People who you direct to XEmarkets register with www.xemarkets.com through your partner link, which is important because this is how our system tracks your referred clients and calculates your commissions.

All websites/blogs qualify for featuring our marketing materials except for sites that promote illegal activities, or are of pornographic nature, or engage in spyware, malware, or deal with black hat SEO techniques involving cookie stuffing.

You can find the answer to this question in our Terms and Conditions (see page 17, par. 14).

We can help by providing you with a series of marketing tools and even customize our advertising and marketing materials to your needs and in your own language.

However, as an affiliate your personal input is also necessary: your profit potential completely depends on how efficiently you use the materials we provide you with and the number of clients you refer to www.xemarkets.com.

So that your client referral is successful, we provide you with simple-to-use and effective marketing materials.

• Tracking link: this is your personalized URL, through which we can identify all new active traders who you referred to us, and pay your commissions accordingly. As soon as you sign up with Pipaffiliates and open an affiliate account, you will receive from us a customized affiliate (tracking) link that helps us keep track of your referrals.
• Multilingual online marketing creatives: online static/flash banners, ad texts, logos, etc. customized for your website in your language/s, and in the sizes and formats of your preference.
• Reporting system: this allows you to monitor all clients’ commission reports by logging in to your Pipaffiliates partner account. The reporting system also provides you with details on top-performing ads and statistics that help you evaluate the conversion rate of your clients.

Of course, you can. The more websites you promote us on, and the more marketing material you use to promote us with, the more visitors you will be re-directing to www.xemarkets.com. This will result in higher traffic conversion for us and in higher commissions for you.
