3. How can merchants join Printer.com?
Printer.com is inviting, evaluating and accepting merchants in the USA to display their products and links. Printer.com has two models for doing business together: your own Affiliate Program or the Printer.com CPC-model. Please let us know your preference. When a merchant is using the CPC-model, then the merchant is only paying a fee (cost per clickthrough) when a user is directed to one of the products on the merchant's site. These leads coming from Printer.com are users who have already searched for and found specific printers or cartridges, so they are highly qualified and provide a high conversion ratio. If you prefer to use your own Affiliate model based upon your terms and conditions, please let us know.
4. Advertising your printers and cartridges on Printer.com in the USA: How does that work? (information below is for the CPC-model):
It is the common datafeed process and setup takes just a few steps:
- Online enrollment, apply for a Printer.com merchant account, supplying basic store and contact information.
- After evaluation and acceptance, Printer.com provides the login and funds your merchant account with a free $ 250 start deposit
- Your organization connects its printers and cartridges to Printer.com.
- The same day your listings are available within Printer.com and are available to start generating clicks to the product pages on your Web site. As Printer.com users (the leads and your organization's new customers) start clicking to your e-store, the rate for each click, based upon listed sales price of the specific printer or cartridge (see rate card), is charged against the account balance. To continue your listing on Printer.com, you can add your account deposit or settle the monthly CPC costs via normal invoicing.
5. Using the CPC-model, are there any additional costs other than CPC fees for merchants?
The answer is simple: No. You only pay for what you receive. A merchant utilizing the CPC-model at Printer.com only pays for the qualified leads that Printer.com delivers to a specific product detail page on their site. Printer.com operates just like the other large search engines. But there is no CPC competition, so there is an honest and fixed CPC based upon the price of a listed product. And you only pay a cost per click for each lead Printer.com delivers to your specific product page. There are no additional account set-up fees.
6. What is cost per click (CPC)?
Cost per click (CPC) represents the rate that you pay for each lead Printer.com delivers to your specific product pages. Each of your products has a fixed CPC rate applied to it when you first submit your products to Printer.com. There is a natural correlation between the listed sales prices and the CPC. To keep the system open and fair for every merchant, there are no CPC bidding options at Printer.com.
So there is no price-increasing CPC competition between merchants.
7. How do merchants get their listings to appear on Printer.com?
As mentioned, Printer.com has two models for cooperation: your own Affiliate Program or the CPC model.

After completing a successful datafeed file to Printer.com, your products will appear in the Printer.com online system the same day.
