I'm a Site Build It! owner. How can I register as a 5 Pillar Program Affiliate?
SBI! owners can use the streamlined affiliate sign-up form.
Just log into the 5P Club as usual...
http://login.sitesell.com/
Click on the LOGIN 5 Pillar Club button.
Use the QUICK JUMP drop-down menu and scroll down to
Accounting. Click on that link. Because you
are not a 5 Pillar Program Affiliate, this will prompt a
page (called Join the Club) to open, where you can
complete your affiliate registration. Just follow the
instructions as outlined. It's quick and easy.
Welcome to the 5 Pillar Team! We look forward to working
with you, as our partner-in-sales.

I want to change my Team Leader. How can I do this?
This is a question that we anticipated. And we decided right
from the start of the 5 Pillar Program that the cookie-
tracking and accounting software has to be our software
referee.
Suppose an affiliate feels it's unfair that a sale (or a new
affiliate) went to another affiliate, for whatever reason.
Well, the other affiliate will feel equally cheated to lose
what had been achieved according to the software referee.
There's never a way to prove anything to that other person's
complete satisfaction.
As a result, we simply cannot afford to evaluate reasons why
-- it's unproductive and leads to hard feelings.
Here's how the software referee works...
If you first refer a potential customer to one of the
landing pages via your RR URL, that customer "belongs"
to you for 9 months. Your cookie will not be overwritten
by another affiliate during that period. If the referred
visitor buys during that time period, you receive credit for
the sale.
After nine months have passed, your cookie remains, but it
can then be overwritten by another affiliate if the visitor
visits another affiliate's RR URL.
Conversely, if you refer a visitor through your RR URL, but
that visitor had been referred by another affiliate in the
past 9 months, that affiliate will receive credit for the
sale.
For a more detailed description of how the cookie system
works, please see Ken's forums post on this topic...
http://forums.sitesell.com/viewtopic.php?p=1027454#1027454
If the customer buys, their cookie becomes the permanent
cookie. We have to run the 5 Pillar Program strictly
according to the rules for two important reasons...
1) It's the only way to be fair to all affiliates --
there is always another side to an argument.
2) It's the only way to run the program efficiently.
Otherwise, we could spend all our time answering 'who
belongs to who' e-mail, instead of building the business.
When the shoe is on the other foot, the software referee
will decide in your favor.
