The Affiliate Union
The Affiliate Union is a loose collaboration of affiliates (web publishers), affiliate marketers, merchants and affiliate solution providers. Together, they are working to establish a "certification standard" to reduce fraud and deception against affiliates by some online merchants. This group, based upon the "open standards committee" tradition of the Internet, has charged itself with:
· Developing this certification standard
· Establishing an infrastructure for the review, certification and de-certification of merchants under that standard
· The promotion of that standard as a "must have" before joining an affiliate program.
The Affiliate Union has developed a set of standards that are acceptable to both Affiliates and merchants and speak to the needs of both parties. At their site, you can view drafts of agreements and clauses to use in your Affiliate Agreement. Plus - you'll find links to individuals and companies you may be able to hire or call on to help you complete your agreement.
