Can I Apply to Be a SOCCER.COMrade Anyway? Unfortunately, no. In order for us to process your application, your web site must be live so that we can review it.

To create links to SOCCER.COM, just go to reporting.net and use the special tool we've created for making links to SOCCER.COM, called the Tag Generator in Make Links. We have an automatic tag generator that creates HTML that you cut and paste into your web pages. It is so easy to use, even beginners can create links in seconds. We give you many different ways of linking to SOCCER.COM, including links to particular products, special sections, and even to our search function. The tag generator allows you to maintain your site's unique look and feel, while making it easy to create your own online soccer shop. 7.) What is my responsibility as a SOCCER.COMrade? You set up as many links as you'd like to SOCCER.COM, in the way that works best for your site. You are responsible for using the Tag Generator (see above) to create links, and for placing the links on your site. It's up to you how many or how few links you include on your web pages.

We do, however, reserve the right to refuse or revoke membership to a site at any time if we deem the content of the site inappropriate. Anyone may submit an application, and we will review each an every potential affiliate web site. Please see The Rule Book for more information. 9.) What If I Operate More than One Web Site? You can have multiple sites under one affiliate account. To set them up, please email us at comrades@soccer.com and provide the names and URLs of the additional sites. You will then be able to create links specifically for each site and generate separate reports for each site. You will receive one commission check for all of your sites. 10.) How are orders tracked and credited to my site? All links from your site to SOCCER.COM contain your site's unique Source ID so that every time a user comes to us via your site, we know to credit you when a purchase is made. Our alliance with the state-of-the-art affiliate tracking Be Free software system provides us with all the tools necessary to track and maintain our affiliate program. Just be sure that all links on your site are created using the Tag Generator tool on reporting.net so that they can be tracked correctly and so that you can get credit for each sale. 11.) When will I be paid? You will be paid quarterly or every three months. If your commission for any quarter is less than $50, however, the total commission amount will be carried over to the next quarter. Once your commission is over our $50 mark, a check will be sent to you at the end of the quarter for the complete amount owed to you. It's that easy!
