You need to read Pool's Affiliate Agreement VERY carefully. Only names put into an account within 24 hours of somebody clicking on your link count: "We will pay you referral fees on all sales of Services to third parties through your Affiliate Link. For a sale to be eligible to earn a Fee (a "Qualifying Purchase"), the customer must click through your Affiliate Link from your site to our site, and purchase a Service during a session. The session ends upon the earlier to occur of: (i) 24 hours after the customerââ¬â¢s initial click through; or (ii) the customer follows a third partyââ¬â¢s Affiliate Link to the Pool website(s). "
In other words, if somebody visits Pool via your affiliate link and signs up then comes back more than 24 hours later and backorders 10,000 domains, NONE of those domains will be tracked as coming as a result of your affiliate link.
It makes it very, very difficult to actually get a commission!
