What is a multi-tiered account and how do I become a multi-tiered Affiliate?

A multi-tier account allows you to promote our Affiliate Program and sign up other potential Affiliates under your account. By doing this, you will be able to earn an override on any Affiliates that you bring in underneath you. You can bring in as many Affiliates as you want to be placed under you. All they have to do is click on your redirect code tracking link. Your redirect code tracking link will be given to you when your account is setup for multi-tier capability.

Becoming a multi-tier Affiliate is as easy as contacting an Affiliate Manager and requesting your account to be set up. Once we have switched your account over to multi-tier status, we will show you where to retrieve creatives to promote our Affiliate Program.

How do I promote offline?

DentalPlans.com has an offline Print Portal that’s used to provide Affiliates with materials to aid in the offline promotion of our site. We offer brochures, postcards, rack cards and promo cards that you can personalize with the information from your website or use to promote DentalPlans.com directly. To track the orders these products produce, DentalPlans.com will provide Affiliates with a unique tracking code that will be printed on all ordered materials.

What is a redirect code?

A redirect code is an addition to the tracking link that will send your customer to other pages throughout DentalPlans.com. This is useful for directing local traffic to a specific plan available in their area or bringing the user directly to Step 2 in our sign up process as well as for a number of other purposes. In order to use a tracking link redirect code please contact one of our Affiliate Managers to let them know which page you want to redirect to.

What is a landing page/co-branded header?

This is a great way to bring traffic to DentalPlans.com. The creation of a landing page and/or co-branded header is entirely free to you as our Affiliate. For the landing page, instead of marketing your tracking link which contains a bunch of numbers and letters, we offer a shortened version. The shortened version will include the DentalPlans.com URL as well as a word which you can choose. A landing page link looks like: www.dentalplans.com/kmart.

For a co-branded header, your company logo can be added to the DentalPlans.com header appearing on every page of the DentalPlans.com site. To see an example of this go to: www.dentalplans.com/kmart.

Simply contact an Affiliate Manager, and they will assist you in the creation and launch of a landing page or co-branded header.

How do I access the keywords?

Keywords can be accessed through the DentalPlans.com Keyword Portal. Please contact an Affiliate Manager for a password to access the Keyword Portal.

What is a web template?

A web template is a ready-made, one page website used as a basis for fast and high-quality website development. Just add your domain name to one of the templates and you get a functional and individual site ready to upload! The website templates can also be used to add to your personal website, corporate site, online shop or offline presentation as an additional page. Minimal HTML experience or knowledge is required to use a website template. The templates are perfect for web designers looking for new ideas but constrained by tight schedules as well as Affiliates who are not very HTML savvy. To see examples of some of our website templates, click here.
