To begin the enrollment process, you must first be a registered member and agree to the GuruFocus Affiliate Agreement. Then you can get started with the affiliate program.
We will still need your tax information to issue payments to you.
We reserve the right to reject your application or terminate this agreement any time upon written/email notification to you.
Every article and page on GuruFocus.com has a unique affiliate link. Therefore, you can link to any article or page on GuruFocus.com and earn commissions.
At the bottom of every GuruFocus page, you can see box for affiliate programs. If you have agreed to the GuruFocus Affiliate Agreement, a unique affiliate link is displayed to you. Copy this link and embed it in your websites or your publications online. When a visitor clicks on the link and is taken to GuruFocus.com, a cookie will be placed on the visitor’s computer. If the visitor signs up for GuruFocus Premium Membership and starts paying, you will start to earn commissions from the subscription. We will set the lifetime of the cookie to three years, so you will have possibility to earn commission any time within the next three years if the visitor becomes a paying member within the next three years.
You can post use the affiliate links anywhere you would like to, such as your website, public forums, other websites, etc.
Since GuruFocus issues a pro-rated refund to its subscription, the membership fees are earned on a month-to-month basis even if the subscriber pays the annual subscription fee up front. Therefore, your commission is earned monthly for both annual and monthly subscriptions.
All affiliate commissions are processed and sent to affiliates 35-40 days after the end of the month. Please allow for 5-10 business days (allowing for weekends and holidays) for your payment to reach you. You must earn a commissionable sale worth $100 in commissions to receive your first $100 commission payment.
If you are required to submit a tax form, you can submit it in two ways:
Yes, we do. We have two WordPress plugins. One is for stock tickers; the other is for Guru names. These plugins will put your affiliate links directly on the tickers and Guru names.
Is your website on the WordPress platform? If it is, this plugin will add your affiliate links automatically to the stock ticker symbols like AAPL or BRK.A and will link the symbols to the 15-year financial page at GuruFocus.com.
Your ticker symbols can be either in Twitter format, which is marked with a dollar sign, like $AAPL or $BRK.A, or in parenthesis, like (AAPL) or (BRK.B).
All links have your affiliate ID embedded, and you can easily make money through the GuruFocus Affiliate program.
