What is affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a performance-based model where creators earn commissions by promoting products or services through unique referral links.

How do I choose the right affiliate program?

Evaluate commission rate, cookie duration (30+ days recommended), audience fit, and terms clarity. LinkLoop helps you compare programs across all these dimensions.

Do I need to disclose affiliate links?

Yes. Under FTC guidelines, you must clearly disclose that your links may earn you a commission. This is both a legal requirement and a trust signal.

What cookie duration is best for affiliate marketing?

Longer cookies (60+ days or lifetime) give you more earning potential per click. 30-day cookies are the minimum recommended for content creators.
