Nerdlance Affiliate System

I apologize to you freelancers who are experiencing a lack of projects. I’m learning it is a long process to spread the word on a site such as this - especially on a limited budget.

You can help though. You may not have noticed, because it is not totally obvious, but when you sign up with Nerdlance.com you automatically become an affiliate. If you are a webmaster, you can post affiliate links to Nerdlance.com and you will earn 50% lifetime commission on all fees paid by the members you refer.

So, for example, lets say you refer a freelance programmer that, on average, wins a $30 bid each month. Nerdlance charges a 10% fee for winning bids and you would get half of that ($1.50). If a freelancer joins the Nerd Herd for $10 per month, you would get half of it each month (minus any PayPal fees if applicable).

Linking is easy. To link to any page, simply use the URL of that page and your affiliate extension. Your affiliate extensions can be found at the bottom of you “Manage Account” page. You have two options. You can use your username or your user ID number that is automatically generated when you sign up.

For example, say my username is nerdlance and my userid is 1 and I wanted to link to a list of all PHP projects. I would first browse to the page located at www.nerdlance.com/projects/PHP

Then I copy the URL from the address bar and add either of my affiliate tags (they work exactly the same. I made it both ways because 1. Your username is easy to remember and use in a hurry, and 2. you user id provides some level of anonymity).
www.nerdlance.com/projects/PHP.nerldlance.uafl
www.nerdlance.com/projects/PHP.1.afl

When a user clicks clicks you affiliate link, a cookie will be set on their computer for 90 days. If they sign up at any time within that 90 days and that cookie is stored on their computer, when they register, you will be listed in the database as the referrer. Anytime they pay a Nerdlance fee, you will be credited with 50% of that fee.
