Frequently Asked Questions

If you cannot find the answer to your question below, please feel free to contact us directly.

How do I know if my site is eligible?
Ultimately, the only way to know is to review our Terms and Conditions and complete the application process. Generally, applications are reviewed with 48 hours.

Do you accept foreign traffic?
Currently, Focalex only accepts sites where the majority of the traffic originates from United States.

How long a testing period do you recommend?
We recommend a trial of TAF Master for a minimum of two weeks. This allows for a fair test of the quality of the service and the earnings potential. A shorter period of time will not provide you with a truly accurate picture of earnings. Two weeks also provides sufficient time to establish the success of your viral marketing efforts.

Can I Run Other Advertising?
Absolutely. TAF Master does not use any of your existing banners, cubes, or skyscraper inventory so affiliates can continue to manage that separately. TAF Master even provides affiliates the ability to include their own advertisements within the custom forms and referral emails. We even provide tracking for these ads at no additional cost.

Can I include my own offers within TAF Master?
TAF Masters permits affiliates to include their own newsletter subscriptions within the co-registration section of the referral form.

What are TAF Master payment terms?
Focalex pays our affiliates 60% of all the revenue generated from their audience. No additional costs, no hidden fees, or mysterious adjustments. And Focalex absorbs any bad debt (advertisers that don't pay us) and rejected advertiser data, so the revenue that our affiliates earn is the revenue they get.

Focalex also pays fast. Our net 30 payment terms represent some of the fastest in the industry.

How much money will I make?
Revenue varies greatly between our affiliates, but in general it depends on three major factors:

  1. Total referrals generated - Total referrals are the number of times your audience forwards off your content or tells-a-friend. The more referrals, the greater the chance to generate revenue.
  2. The amount of advertising the affiliate accepts - As mentioned earlier, TAF Master allows affiliates to customize not only the type of advertising they run, but also how much their audience sees. The more advertising permitted, the more chance at revenue.
  3. The performance of the advertising - Since most of the advertising TAF Master delivers is CPL or cost-per-lead it is difficult to predict how much revenue a campaign will perform for an individual site. What Focalex does guarantee is that we will work tirelessly to find the highest quality and best performing advertisers, because we only make money if our affiliates make money.

Does TAF Master pay on Total Sends or just Unique Ones?
TAF Master affiliates are paid on TOTAL sends. Our default reporting on the "Stats Earnings Page" just happens to be on UNIQUE traffic.

Any TAF Master affiliate can find their TOTAL sends by using the Detailed Usage stats menu option.

Is there a minimum check amount?
The minimum payout is $25. If you do not meet minimum payout, your earnings are rolled into the following month, until you do reach minimum payout.

Can I buy advertising with TAF Master service?
Of course! If you're interested in advertising on the TAF Master network of sites, please check out our advertising information.

Does TAF Master have a publisher referral program?
Absolutely. For every new publisher that signs up and generates 1,000 unique sends in 30 days, an affiliate will receive $10. If that publisher reaches 40,000 unique sends in 60 days, the affiliate will receive an additional $90. If that publisher reaches 200,000 unique sends in 365 days, the affiliate receives an additional $150.

To receive the referral bonus the new affiliate must use the affiliate recruiting code provided. For complete details, please review our Terms and Conditions.
