Now…..lets talk Affiliates !!Now…..lets talk Affiliates !!

SpreadFirefox.com: Affiliates

What is it?

• The Affiliate Program is an easy way for people to “spread” the word about Firefox by using Firefox download buttons (also known as Affiliate Buttons).

Affiliates Buttons

• This is what Affiliates’ Buttons look like!

• Come in 8 languages now• Different styles, shapes,

colors & themes to play with!

Why are Affiliates important?

• They are one of the first ways people find out about Firefox.– For example, Affiliates helped to spread the

word about Download Day (+34 million impressions)

• They are one of the best (and simplest ways) to get people who are interested in Firefox involved in Spreading Firefox – +800 Affiliates and counting

• They help give Firefox its’ personality– Where people post buttons– How people make the buttons their “own”.

How do I start?

• There are four easy steps to start getting involved:1) Join SpreadFirefox.com2) Get/Create Affiliates Buttons

• Get them: http://www.spreadfirefox.com/affiliates/homepage#getbuttons

• Make your own: http://www.spreadfirefox.com/affiliates/create_buttons

3) Post Buttons• Blog/Website/Social Media Profile

4) Earn Points!• As people click on your Affiliates buttons, you get points

So, what do I do, again?

• Here are a few things to keep in mind if you want to make sure your point totals are accurate:– 1) Make sure you’re signed on if you are downloading

buttons from SFx.com.– 2) After downloading the button, you need to make a

few changes to the code by hand• Button label• Make sure your id number is correct (its your SFx id number)• url where button is hosted

For example….

• For example, edit everything in red:<a href="http://www.mozilla.com/firefox?from=sfx&uid=[MY

USER ID HERE]&t=[MY BUTTON LABEL, it can be whatever i

want]"><img border="0" alt="Spreadfirefox Affiliate Button" src="[this is the url where

my button is hosted, like http://www.lauramesa.com/spreadfirefoxsfximage1.png]"

/></a>

Umm, then what?

– 3) If you are creating a new button, you should use Illustrator, Photoshop or another graphic design tool to modify the file. You can also create your own from scratch.

• You must still edit the source code in order to ensure you get credits for download

– Button label– Id number (SFx id)– url where button is hosted

Yay! Buttons created! Now what?

• Now that you’ve finished creating your buttons and updating the code…you get to post your buttons!

• Where?• Blogs• Social Media pages• Websites your own or

manage

Last thing to remember…

• Make sure any buttons you create or modify adhere to the guidelines found http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/about/logo/

• Happy Button Making!
