If you want to earn revenue from your audience, online dating is one of the niches where affiliate marketing took hold earliest. Prelinker has a particular place in it: the network has existed since 2001, it works only in this sector, and it gives its publishers a fairly complete set of tools that fits almost every type of website.
Unlike the big platforms that bring together thousands of advertisers from every sector, Prelinker focuses its catalog on dating. The advantage is consistency: the same brands, the same tools, the same tracking logic. To understand what this changes in practice, our article on the affiliate platform compares the two approaches.
The first question is almost always the same: is it legitimate? Our Prelinker review looks at the strengths, the limits and the types of publishers the program suits best. Then comes the mechanics: how Prelinker works, from the visitor's click to the commission, walks you through the whole circuit.
To take action, the article on Prelinker signup details how to open your publisher account step by step. If your concern is money, two pages answer it: Prelinker commission, with a worked example presented as a rough order of magnitude, and Prelinker payments, with payout methods and fees.
The network provides several ways to display offers. The Prelinker smartlink directs each visitor according to their country. The dating site widgets display profile carousels, a sticky bar or chat invitations. The JSON and XML profile feed lets you integrate profiles directly into your pages, and the white label option goes as far as a complete site in your own name.
Once your links are in place, you need to know what pays off. The article on SubID and postback offers a monthly sorting method. To decide what to promote, browse the Prelinker brands and offers, then the dating site niches to match each page with the right theme.
One last point of honesty: affiliate marketing rewards work on an audience, not luck. No result is guaranteed, and the exact commission rate card is available in the publisher area once your account is open. If you are a complete beginner, the getting started page gives you the order of the steps, and the frequently asked questions answer the most common queries.
Each article below goes deeper into one specific point. Read them in the order that fits your situation, or go straight to the one you are missing.

Prelinker is an affiliate network specialized in online dating, active since 2001. It connects publishers (websites, blogs, creators) with dating brands, using tracking tools and performance-based pay.
A website or blog of your own is strongly recommended, because it gives you a stable place to present the offers. It also lets you measure what works and stay within the rules of social networks.
It is shown in the publisher area once your account is open. The figures quoted on this site are orders of magnitude taken from rate cards shared by affiliates, never a promise.
