FAQ

Answers to your questions about the CD Baby Affiliate Program.

Once I link someone to CD Baby, am I credited for additional sales or just the single direct link?

We track cookies, so you get paid for the first order that particular customer places up to seven days following their initial visit to our site from your link.

Does it matter which website I link people from?

It doesn't matter. As long as the link has “/from/yourname” at the end, you get credit. The link could be in an email to your friends, or from any website in the world. Only the “/from/yourname” at the end of the URL matters.

After I linked to CD Baby, my “/from/yourname” disappeared from the web address!

Your partner code is stored in a cookie on the customer's computer for 7 days. After the customer clicks your link, they can get distracted, or even shut off their computer and come back later, and you'll still get paid for the first sale that happens.

If I send somebody to the CD Baby search engine, or home page, or gallery page - will it count?

Yep! Once they're in, from your link, you get credit for the first sale within seven days.

Is there an affiliate commission on artist signups too?

Not yet. Hopefully you'll tell musicians about CD Baby anyway, and get paid by linking to them when they're up-and-selling here.
