Can I bid on Surfer keywords in ads?

No. Brand terms and misspellings are off limits, and so is direct linking from ads. Any other paid campaign, run it past us first.

Can I offer my audience a discount code?

We currently do not offer any exclusive or custom discounts for affiliate partners.

You can promote our standard pricing, free tools, and any seasonal site-wide promotions if and when those are available.

Please note that anything misleading, such as presenting a free trial as a coupon or discount, or referencing non-existent discounts, is prohibited.

Do I need to disclose that I'm an affiliate?

Yes. Say clearly that you may earn a commission. It's required, and audiences respect it.

Why was my application declined?

All applications are assessed on audience relevance, meaning an active audience that overlaps with marketing, AI, content or SEO, as well as the frequency, relevance and quality of the published content. Coupon and deal sites and branded paid-ads traffic sources are declined by default.

If circumstances have changed, or you think we've read it wrong, feel free to re-apply or reach out and tell us what we missed. We'll take another look.
