What is the difference between Online and Offline Affiliates and can I be both?
The fundamental difference between Online and Offline affiliates is that Online affiliates interact online with any type or form of internet marketing activity such as:
- Paid Search Marketing
- Natural Search Marketing
- Contextual Marketing
- Viral Marketing
- Social Marketing
Offline affiliates are affiliates who refer client by any form (which may or may not be related to the internet) and/or any verbal or human interaction with clients. Affiliates who have any personal contact with a client are offline affiliates.
Due to international regulations for licensed Forex providers, you cannot be both an online and offline affiliate.

What is Forex, anyway?
The Foreign Exchange (Forex, FX) market is one of the biggest markets today. Daily turnover has skyrocketed from approximately 5 billion USD in 1977, to a staggering 3 trillion (and more) US dollars today. This is more than 40 times the daily turnover of the NASDAQ.
Forex currency trading is attractive to traders as currency markets are constantly fluctuating and there is potential to profit whether a currency is going up or down. Traders trade on margin which leverages their potential gains. What also makes it so popular is that there is no centralized location for trading as there is in futures or stocks, and trading occurs around the clock over the telephone and on computer terminals at thousands of locations worldwide.
Most foreign exchange activity consists of the spot business between the US dollar and the six major currencies (Japanese Yen, Euro, British Pound, Swiss Franc, Canadian Dollar and Australian Dollar). The Forex market is so large, and is hosting so many participants, that no single player, governments included, can directly control or make any significant influence over the direction of the market. That makes the Forex market the most exciting market in the world. Central banks, commercial banks, international corporations, money managers, speculators, and private individuals – are all involved in Forex trading.
Foreign exchange is the trading of currency pairs at a specific exchange rate. It is a ‘non-delivery’ trade, which means that there is no physical transaction of currencies, but it is rather an agreement, or "contract" (Forex deal), to trade a specific volume of a pair of currencies at an agreed exchange rate.

How are online customers tracked to me?
Every banner, or pop-up, or e-mail promotion, which is a part of your Affiliate activity, will be assigned a unique Affiliate-ID tracking code ("Gateway"). This will accurately identify your customers as arrivals from your site. If a customer registers, your Affiliate-ID is permanently associated to that account, so you will always be credited per such customer's trading (by flat fee and percentage of the revenue) at our associate Forex Trading Platform.
