Frequently asked questions about this program

Why do Web Retailers do this?

They want to attract customers, so in return for putting a button on our website, we get part of the money spent by people who go to their website from here, usually 5 - 7%.

How does it work?

The retailer gives us a special link from this button to their site that identifies your connection as having come from our website. 

Will they give money to Alternative House every time I buy from from them?

No - ONLY if you get there by clicking the button on our site. If you get there by typing in the web address, or clicking from some other site, we will not get any money.

And that's what the retailer is hoping you'll do - find their site through us, but then go back directly to them (which saves them 5%). We're hoping you'll keep using OUR links, so we can keep getting that money.

How can I help you make this program successful?

SIMPLE! Bookmark THIS page, and use it every time you shop at one of our affiliated stores. AND - tell your friends and relatives to do the same thing -- after all, there's NO cost to you or them.

Do other retail sites do this?

Yes they do, and if this works well for us, we'll expand it to other retailers.

Is 5% all you can get?

No, we'll be getting into some other programs also. For example, at Amazon, we can sponser specific books, and if you buy those, we get 15%. And at eToys, we get $5.00 for every new customer we bring them. So keep checking back as we'll be adding retailers and programs.
