Affiliate Program FAQ
How does the Keen Affiliate Program work?
It's very simple. You start by filling out our Keen Affiliate Program application. Then, simply copy and paste the HTML code onto your website to display links to Keen. These links contain a unique identifying code that will credit you for every user who registers as a User for the first time, is over 18 years old, adds a valid payment method, and places at least one paid conversation to another User through the Keen Site. Our third-party vendor, TUNE, will track each registered Keen user who comes from your site. TUNE will then calculate your commission and provide you with real-time reporting and monthly commission payments.
Becoming an Affiliate
Why should I sign up?
There are a number of benefits to joining the Keen Affiliate Program:
Enhance Your Content and Build Loyalty. Give your users something new that they'll keep coming back for by providing them with a convenient and private way to get live, personalized advice online.
Get More Revenue From Your Site. Joining our program is free, and you'll earn $50 for every new Keen user you refer who has a paid session.
Reliable Third-Party Tracking. Keen has partnered with TUNE to provide you with trusted third-party tracking, customized reporting, and monthly commission payments.
Is my site eligible to be part of the Keen Affiliate Program?
Most websites qualify to participate in the program. We do, however, reserve the right to refuse membership to a site or revoke a site's membership at any time.
What if I operate more than one site?
Sign them all up! You can have multiple sites under one affiliate account and create separate links for each of them. You can even generate separate reports for each site. You'll receive a single monthly payment combining the commissions earned on all your sites.
Can I join the Keen Affiliate Program if I operate my website outside the United States?
Yes.
Can I join the Keen Affiliate Program if my site isn't live yet?
No. Your website must be live so we can review it when we get your application.
Are there any hidden costs?
No. You pay absolutely nothing to join the Keen Affiliate Program.
Tracking and Payment
How much does Keen pay me in referral fees?
We pay you a $50 referral fee for each new customer who registers as a User for the first time, is over 18 years old, adds a valid payment method, and has at least one paid session through the Keen site.
How does Keen know how much traffic is coming from my site?
Your links will contain a unique tag that represents your site. When a visitor uses one of your links to browse Keen, the tag is stored and, when that visitor has a paid session, passed to the referral payment database. TUNE, a neutral third party, will handle all user tracking and will calculate all your payments.
How do I check how many users have registered from my site?
Go right to TUNE's site to check out the records of everyone who has come through your link and had a paid session, and to see how much you've earned. You can track this information for a time period of your choosing so you can monitor, evaluate and improve your Keen placements. You can also view the number of registered users that have linked from your site but haven't yet made a paid session.
When do I start earning commissions?
As soon as your links are up and the first user links to Keen from your site and has a paid session. The minimum payout as a new affiliate is $200.
Will I get paid for click-throughs to Keen?
No. We only pay referral fees to Affiliates.
Questions About Linking
