Hello fellow Warriors,

I am looking into creating an affiliate program for my SEO business. Right now I am thinking of having commission at 20 percent recurring on all sales as long as the client keeps using my services, but I'm not sure if this is right appeal for affiliate marketers. So my question to you warriors is what commission structure should I use that will appeal to affiliate marketers?

    20% of what? Usually 20% is pretty low, but if you're charging a good price it may be doable.

    It's all depends on EPC. If 20% recurring can get them (the affiliates) great commission with1 time recruiting effort for long run they will like it.
    If the commission is low, than you might consider 1st month highest percentage commission instead of recurring commission

    I wouldn't fart around with percentages, you'll only confuse affiliates and yourself.

    Pay a flat rate for leads that convert into sales like a web host and be done with it.

    Somewhere around 20-40% is fine and it depends on how many leads are you getting from that affiliate marketer then you can increase it rather than losing them by giving low ball offers.

    I would advise 25%-40% depending on the competitiveness of the Keyword(s) you are ranking for. If you pay a good enough commission your affiliates will work harder to bring you new leads.
