Why does National Geographic want affiliates?
Smart explorers don’t go solo. They build teams of capable, committed partners.
“You want someone who is watching out for you,” says climber Todd Skinner.
E-commerce is one of the great frontiers of our time, and the Geographic is
following its explorers’ advice.
Given that the Web is vast and multifaceted, we’re counting on our affiliates to
reach people who haven’t visited—or didn’t know about—our site.

What is Commission Junction?
Commission Junction, based in Santa Barbara, California, is one of the largest providers of affiliate
programs on the Web. Their software tracks customers as they come from
affiliates’ sites and shop in the National Geographic Store.
That’s how we know who has earned what commissions.

What types of Web sites make good affiliates?
We want sites that will enthusiastically promote National Geographic Store products.
In general, we look for robust, fully functional sites with an audience that mirrors
our own (adults and kids who are interested in adventure, geography, travel, and so forth).
We encourage all interested sites to apply. We do not approve those whose content may
be deemed pornographic or offensive.

Where do I get banners and links?
Once we approve your site, we will provide you with banners and links that take
visitors to the National Geographic Store entrance or to specific product pages.
You can select what best suits your audience. After deciding what you need,
you log in and copy your specialized HTML link to track your traffic and revenue.
You must use the links provided in order to generate commissions.
