📅 February 25, 2010 - Company's new program offers customers a way to earn a commission as a Go Daddy Affiliate.

Go Daddy, a domain name registrar and hosting provider, today announced that it now offers customers a way to earn a commission as a Go Daddy Affiliate. It says that affiliates earn commissions simply by spreading the word about Go Daddy services online to attract customers. For many of its customers, this is an easy way to earn a 20 percent commission doing something that's natural - exciting people about creating an online presence.

It explains that The Go Daddy Direct Affiliate Program is free to join and was created as a way to thank the customers who bring others onboard. All that is needed is a shopper account. As an affiliate, users choose from more than 100 Go Daddy banner or text ads to post on their existing web site, blog, Facebook page or any other online space that allows users to post such links. When someone clicks on the link and purchases its product such as a domain name, hosting service or SSL certificate, the affiliate earns a commission.

The company adds that becoming an affiliate doesn't require a highly technical background. If affiliates can copy and paste HTML code - they are ready to go. It further explains that Go Daddy tracks affiliate link referrals, awarding commissions on orders placed up to 45 days after the initial click. Affiliates can take advantage of the popularity and influence of their online presence and the traffic they drive, simply by promoting it. Commissions are paid out monthly to affiliates either through direct deposit, PayPal, check or GoodAsGold. Affiliates can easily track their commissions with free, online tools at it.

"Our customers are our greatest marketers," said Go Daddy CEO and Founder Bob Parsons. "They use our products, know the quality of Go Daddy's customer service and can speak to the experience firsthand."
