About the WineZap Affiliate Program
Sign up now or contact us with any questions.
WineZap's affiliate program pays for visitors your wine related website sends to us. The best affiliate sites are those with wine tasting notes and reviews, which can include links to WineZap search results that naturally complement your content. For example, if you are reviewing a particular wine, you can include a link to WineZap's page listing retailers that sell that wine. For each visitor you send us, we will pay you US$.075 (seven and one-half cents).
To qualify, your website must:
- have at least 100,000 page views per month,
- be wine related,
- not have any adult oriented material.
You can link to WineZap from your own website in ways, including:
- directly to specific wines,
- to our home page,
- to our wine category/regional pages.
Implementing our system is very simple. It is simply a matter of including your referral code in your link to us. You can use our link generator to make links that include your referral code or write the links yourself. For example, a link to 2000 Harlan Maiden would look like this (123456 is replaced with your unique referral code):
http://www.winezap.com/Harlan-Estate-The-Maiden/2000/12924?r=123456
or,
http://www.winezap.com/search/searchresults.cfm?searchtext=2000+harlan+maiden&r=123456
We also offer an api that allows you to submit a query and return an xml file with results. It is easy to use - simply query our server in the form:
http://www.winezap.com/affiliate/api.cfm?searchtext=yoursearchgoeshere
You will get an xml result file in the form:
<statistics>
<resultsfound>numberofresultsreturned</resultsfound>
<querytime>searchtimeinms ms</querytime>
<query>yoursearchtext</query>
</statistics>
<results>
<item>
<vintage>vintage</vintage>

<retailer>retailer</retailer>
<state>retailerstate</state>
<phone>phone</phone>
<url>directlinktoretailer</url>
</item>
</results>
- There will be on <item> entry for each result.
- The url will be a direct link to the retailer - all the way to the retailer's item level page (if available).
- Be sure to append &r=123456 (replace 123456 with your code) to the url so you get credit and paid for the click.

Each unique referral to the WineZap site per 24 hour period earns the payout rate. If a single user clicks from your site through to us many times within a 24 period, only this first click will be counted. The rate per unique referral per day is $0.075 USD (seven and one-half cents).
On the first of each month, each affiliate receives an emailed report which details the click-throughs for the previous month as well as the total amount earned.
We can pay Affiliates company check. Payments are only made in USD.
Our minimum monthly payment amount is $50 (USD). If you earn less than this in any month, the amount will be carried forward until the next month.
WineZap actively monitors for "click fraud". If we suspect that this may have taken place we reserve the right to terminate our relationship with you and withhold any payment for suspected fraudulent clicks. Further, we reserves the right to terminate any Affiliate agreement at any time.
