## Frequently asked questions

**Is affiliatejob really free?**
Yes. Browsing, searching, filtering, comparing, and submitting are all free. No signup. No paywall. No email gate. Funded by affiliate commissions disclosed on every page.

**What is a two tier affiliate program?**
A program that pays you a percentage of commissions earned by other affiliates you referred to the program. Tier one is your direct sales. Tier two is from affiliates you brought in. Rates range 5 to 30 percent of the second tier affiliate's commission. Examples: Kinsta (10%), ClickFunnels (5%), Builderall (30%), PixVerse (5% lifetime), VeePN (10%).

**How is this different from affiliate.watch and AffiliList?**
Three differences. We manually verify every listing every 30 to 60 days instead of scraping once. We give every network a public payout reliability grade. We filter explicitly for two tier programs which other directories bury. We also disclose affiliate links openly on every page.

**Which affiliate programs pay the highest commissions?**
In 2026 the highest in our directory: Builderall (100% first month + 30% recurring + 30% second tier), VeePN (up to 117% first sale + 10% second tier), Kinsta ($50 to $500 + 10% recurring), ClickFunnels (30 to 40% recurring + 5% second tier).

**Where do you host this site?**
A Hetzner VPS, alongside other projects (FreeCV, FreeTTS, GetMP3.video). Cloudflare in front. Plain HTML and nginx. Cost is roughly 8 dollars a month total.

Verified every 30 to 60 days. Reliability scores come from anonymized payout receipts (sample sizes shown) plus our own checks. Featured listings are tagged paid placement. Editorial rankings ignore who paid.
