How can we be included in your comparisons?

O.K., so you have a book store, you have great prices, and your customer service is second to none, how do you get included in our comparison engine?

AllBookstores.com has a few basic requirements to be listed on our site.

• Your site must be searchable by ISBN, or you must provide a separate data link for us to access your pricing data by ISBN.

• You must have an affiliate or revenue sharing program. Don't know what an affiliate program is? Click here.

• We must be able to link to your individual book titles using the ISBN number with your affiliate program.

That's pretty much it, so if your site meets these requirements, then send us a link to your site, or your affiliate sign up page, and we'll take a look.

What's an affiliate program?

An affiliate program is basically a way for you to share revenues with your "affiliate" in exchange for them sending you qualified buyers.

How do I start  an affiliate program?

Your programmer should be able to set something like this up fairly easily, and there are many free programs available on the web, but we find, as have most of our merchant partners, that it's easier and more cost effective to have an affiliate management company handle this process. 

The management company will handle everything from tracking the sales, providing detailed data about your sales and your affiliates, as well as making payments to the affiliate for you. There are some small fees to get set up like this and a small percentage for the ongoing handling, but it's worth it. We recommend the program at Commission Junction; you can get more details and sign up here.
