How are programs reviewed and approved?
Quick answer
Every submission is manually reviewed by our team within 24–48 hours. We verify the program is legitimate, the affiliate signup process works, commission details are accurate, and the program meets our quality standards.
Every program submitted to AffiliateRoll goes through a manual review process. Here's what we check:
Legitimacy — We verify the business and website are real, operational, and not associated with scams or misleading practices.
Affiliate Program Quality — We check that the affiliate signup process works, the tracking system is functional, and the program is actively accepting new affiliates.
Accuracy — We verify that the commission rates, cookie durations, and payment details listed in the submission match what the program actually offers.
Content Quality — We review the description, images, and overall presentation to ensure listings meet a baseline quality standard.
Programs that don't meet our standards are declined with feedback. If your program is declined, you receive a full automatic refund and are welcome to resubmit after addressing the issues.
Our goal is to maintain a directory that affiliates can trust — every listed program has been vetted by a real person.
