Overall:
Forex trading has seen explosive growth over the past decade with millions of people worldwide now trading currencies online. ForexYard.com is a forex trading site and AffiliateYard.com is the affiliate marketing arm of ForexYard.com; so in other words, AffiliateYard is the branch of the company that is dedicated to signing up and serving affiliates who then send forex traders to ForexYard.com. While not the biggest forex trading site on the Web by any means, ForexYard offers a solid product and AffiliateYard offers affiliates a way to get paid to promote the ForexYard trading platform. With commission rates ranging from $100-$300 per referral, AffiliateYard rewards its marketing partners quite handsomely for any new forex traders that you send its way. The ForexYard / AffiliateYard affiliate program is surely worth a look if you publish any sort of financial content. One drawback though is that ForexYard, due to regulatory restrictions, does not accept U.S. residents at all, so if your traffic is mostly from U.S. residents, you will not want to join the AffiliateYard.com program.
Ease of Use:
AffililiateYard.com’s marketing tools are nice because the marketing materials they give you as an affiliate are not just limited to the usual banner ads. In addition to banner ads, you can also post forex reports and analysis, currency calculators, and economic calendars to entice people to click through and give ForexYard a shot. Giving out information like this rather than pure advertising is a good approach in the forex world because all forex traders love any info that can help them make better trades. As an affiliate, you can use these tools to generate warm leads that convert better than the typical banner ad.
Reputation/Security:
Several other forex trading platforms have better name brand recognition than ForexYard, but ForexYard has been building a good following as one of the smaller but more personal forex brokers. As an affiliate, you can count on ForexYard to provide a reliable trading platform, including MetaTrader4 and mobile trading. ForexYard has a strong following in the U.K. and Europe, so if your site sees a lot of Euro traffic, you can expect your audience to be familiar with the ForexYard name. Trust is very important in the forex trading world and ForexYard is working hard to earn it worldwide.
Customer Service:
AffiliateYard has one of the best affiliate support teams in the business. They are extremely responsive to the needs and questions of affiliates via email, phone, and live chat. Because affiliates have been such an integral part of the growth of ForexYard, you can tell that AffiliateYard is very interested in the success of their affiliates, even new affiliates who may have a lot of questions at first. Five stars!
Commission Rate:
Commission rates at AffiliateYard vary widely based on a number of factors, such as the initial deposit size of your referrals, the number of referrals you send per month, and the total investment of your referrals over time. You can expect to earn $100- $300 per new forex trader that you send to ForexYard, and conversion rates are not bad, so there are many affiliates who are using AffiliateYard to make sizeable chunks of money. Again though, you have to remember that conversion rates—and the commissions tied to them—are highly dependent on how qualified the traffic is that you’re sending. ForexYard does not accept U.S. residents, so don’t bother with this program if your traffic is mostly from USA. Also, remember that it takes a certain kind of person to want to try forex trading, so you have to know your own audience on that point. Also worth noting is that as of this writing, AffiliateYard is adding on a $200 bonus to the first month earnings of all new affiliates.
Ease of Commission Payment:
The primary method for withdrawal of your AffiliateYard commissions is MoneyBookers, but you can also use wire transfer to your bank or you can have the funds directly deposited into your ForexYard.com trading account if you are a forex trader yourself. The payment process is smooth and fast with commissions flowing every two weeks.
