It states that to earn affiliate commissions, to create an account. I interpreted this as being aimed at someone who does not already earn affiliate commission. The “Further” you add here is the crux of the matter. If you do not create a GeoRiot account but simply activate the plugin, it is not simply giving your viewers a better experience. It is replacing YOUR affiliate links with GeoRiot’s. You do not mention this anywhere. Your “please note” here puts that out in the open. You call affiliate links “parameters.” Most people call them links.

A great many affiliates aren’t going to parse through the fine print and even if they did, half the info is missing. Perhaps it’s just a matter of writing in clearer English. I’m not saying the product is not good or that you are purposely deceiving (though I think you are), but the fact that you leave out information and actually REPLACE people’s affiliate links without being at all clear feels like the techniques used by those banks that caused the mortgage meltdown.

OK. More questions.

I am still unclear about whether you are charging for ALL CLICKS ANYWHERE on the site, or just Amazon clicks. Please just give a one- or two-word answer if possible, as more explanation confuses me. I get many more regular, non-monetized clicks than affiliate clicks, so this is a big question for me.

And:

I had the plugin activated for a little while, WITHOUT me having an account, and saw some clickthroughs through it.

Suppose:
1. those people bought something in my origin country. Would I still get my commission? (please just say yes or no to each of these)

2. those people were in another country where I’m a member of the Amazon affiliate program. Would I still get my commission?

3. those people were in another country where I am not a member of the Amazon program, so I would not get a commission anyway. So no one gets it, correct?

Now, suppose I DO have a GeoRiot account. What changes, in all these cases?

1. my country of origin where I am an Amazon member
2. other countries where I am a member
3. other countries where I am not a member (would I still see the traffic stats?)

Thanks!

Thanks for your quick reply.

I’m a bit dense and I still don’t totally understand. If I want to earn my own affilate commissions, then I need to create a Georiot account? Or is it just if I want to track clicks and manage IDs?

What about the click tracking I already have on statcounter and Amazon itself, will those be affected? Will statcounter and Amazon stats still show the correct numbers?

Are you saying that you are going to get 20% of my commissions, so if I’m making $1,000 per month (I’m making less), then you get $200? So in other words, you are getting paid for clicks from all over, even countries not in the Amazon program and countries I’m not signed up for that are in the Amazon program? Are you getting paid only for affiliate link clicks or all clicks to the site?

If I am getting about 3,000 product clicks per month, then does that mean you get $3.00? Are the first 1,000 clicks free, as you mentioned elsewhere? So if I get 3,000 clicks (this is just to Amazon links, right?) then you get $2.00 and otherwise I keep the rest of my commissions?

Sorry about all the questions.
