GoDaddy is one of the popular brand names in the market of domain and web-hosting. They are popular for a various reason, and they have all the reason for an affiliate marketer to join their big fat paying affiliate program.
In this guide, I will be sharing how you can join GoDaddy Affiliate program & start earning money.
Earlier GoDaddy used to have their managed affiliate program. Later on, they shut down their managed program and now hooked up with Commission Junction  to manage their affiliate program.
You can join any marketplaces mentioned to sign up for the GoDaddy affiliate program. In this guide, I will share which marketplace I use and my experience with it. Since GoDaddy’s offers are appealing, you can easily make some good money.
Getting Started with GoDaddy Affiliate Program
If you are on CJ, you can directly search for GoDaddy inside your search partner tab.
The best thing about GoDaddy is; that they come up with exclusive deals now and then, and you can use them to increase your affiliate sales. I have already shared a guide on how to promote affiliate products on your blog, which will help you to promote the GoDaddy affiliate program on your blog. Here is my GoDaddy Affiliate earnings for the last few months:
If you have never used CJ Affiliate marketplace before, don’t worry as I have created this video tutorial that would help you to get started.
If you are using WordPress, do use Lasso plugin to make your affiliate link reader-friendly, and check this guide to learn how Google treats affiliate links for SEO.
Do let me know your success story with the GoDaddy affiliate program and how likely you are going to recommend it to others.

Hi Harsh,
I was more than interested to Join CJ for GoDaddy affiliate program but the problem is I can’t find my country listed in their drop down list. Nepal is not there.
Is it like, we can’t join or is there any way out. Do you know anything about it?
Hi,I have a wordpress blog.I would like monetise it.Can you pls help me?
Hi Harsh,
Before this post I am not aware of Godaddy Affiliate Program. thanks for sharing. Hope this help other people too.
@Deepa
Happy to help. 🙂
Dear Harsh,
Are you sure that we can sign up using tradedoubler? Because when I checked in Godaddy affiliate page, they have listed CJ and Zanox as their affiliate network partners. But I couldn’t find Godaddy affiliate program in Zanox and I am currently facing some issue with CJ.
@Devidasan
Seems like they again shifted from Tradedoubler to Zanox. Earlier they shifted from ShareASale. I would suggest signup using CJ.
Thank you Harsh, for prompt replay.
But I am having a hard time with CJ.
CJ is taking a lot of time to load. Most of the time I can not access any other page except the homepage. I tried different browsers, but no luck. Maybe something to do with my connection. But the homepage is loading fast though.
sir,i have a facebook page with 1500 likes,will i be able to sign up for sharasale account?
Thanks Brother for this Information.
I am going to signup for an affiliate account.
Lets see If they approve my application or not.
I think I will earn a big amount there if confirmed.
Thanks Harsh
Hi Harsh,
I have joined Godaddy affiliate via CJ. As I’ve seen everywhere and in their program terms too that they pay $105 USD affiliate commission new purchaser 12 month hosting plan.
But they are paying me just 40% of the sale amount. I contacted their support team, and this is what they replied :
“Thank you for contacting GoDaddy Affiliate support. As with most advertisers in CJ we have several different program terms available. Based on things such as the affiliates site, the types of customers they refer, and the types of orders they generate will determine how the affiliates account is approved for certain program terms. Our terms were updated on February 4, 2015. At this time the term is what you have been approved for. We would be happy to review your transactions after 3 or 4 months and review your account.
• 40% revenue share for new customer orders (first-time purchasers)
• 10% revenue share for existing customer orders ”
Please suggest me what’s the problem, and what to react about this email.
Hi Harsh,
Thanks for the info but let you know that please update the article as Godaddy has just closed their affiliate with share a sale. 🙂
@Shaswat
I know about the change, and I have already added 2-3 line above in the article.
Update:If you are on CJ, you can directly search for Godaddy inside your search partner tab. They shut down their affiliate program via ShareAsale on March 7th 2015. For now, you can join via CJ or TradeDoubler marketplace.
I need to remove the complete ShareAsale part, and update with Tradedoubler process once my application is approved on their. it’s been 3 days and they haven’t accepted the application.
Hi Harsh,Earlier I was on godaddy direct affiliate program,but after shutdown,I moved on shareasale.As I am new for this, Can you please tell me what is the commission rate of godaddy on shareasale for promoting the Hosting(Economy,Deluxe, Business ) programme to new user.

Is it any topic to write about? I think everyone who has a facebook or Google account, He know how to signup to any website including Godaddy and so on. We hope to get useful and interesting articles from SML, not like this one. Hope you Guys understand and If I hart you by writing these line, Please forgive me. I wrote this because, I am a regular reader of SML and like other days, Today, I have come to check out new and interesting articles
Thanks.
@Abu
Thanks for your honest feedback and I understand your sentiment. When I write these kind of basic articles, I had to think twice before publishing. I know regular reader of ShoutMeLoud expect an article with more insight and not such basic How-to, but let me tell you something. Most of the eMails which I get from existing or new readers, they need such basic step by step How-to, and that’s why I integrate such article once in a while. I will lee your feedback in mind, and will surely ensure that you also get what you expect to read at ShoutMeLoud. Thanks for being around!
@ ABU
You are overreacting dude. An useful Information needs no parameters. If it would be able to help even at least one person, it’s worth sharing. 🙂
Hi Harsh,
There are forms W-8BEN and W-8ECI . Which needs to be completed for getting payed by godaddy Direct Affiliate. Which form do Indian residents should use.
Please advise. Its very urgent.
Thank you
Whatever you do, first consult with a person who knows about foreign and Indian taxation etc.
The procedures adopted by Google and Paypal are rather simple.
Anyways, thank you Harsh for this great article. It is very informative.
My advice to everybody here is to try different affiliate programs (the branded one) and find out more about their services and procedures.
Money flows in when we (bloggers) give good service to our viewers. We cannot treat them like customers. I am managing a technical blog and whoever visits my site expect some help in terms of code or a solution. I cannot lure them to buy a product.
Initially I had too many ads on my blog, after reading few articles here and other blogs, I have changed settings and instead of reducing the number of ads, I have placed them in a systematic way.
Finally its up to the user to choose what they want to do.
Another point I would like to add. If you have Google ad’s on your web pages, then make the ad’s are relevant or it matches with the contents you website is providing. Else, it is meaningless and occupies space, for no good reason.
hey please tell me that ow to withdraw the commission i have earned.
i made $50 of commission in it one month back.slected payee method as paypal.
but no customer care in india can give me a satisfactory answer.
please help me. i want to withdraw my commission

Hi Harsh
My blog is share market related blog and I have around 440 readers and PR4 rank. What do you thin, should I join this Godaddy Affiliate Program ?
Please answer.
khalid
Khalid you should always select affiliate program based on your audience and niche. According to me If I would be at your place, Godaddy should not be my destination. Instead you could have gone for something like Some Ebook which talks more about Share market or may be some software which helps share market users.
Wow!! Thanks for the instruction to “Sign Up” over Godaddy Affiliate Program.. I was actually think of joining the affiliate program of Godday. Do they give Handsome commission…
People will surely buy the products of the Godaddy because it is the most trusted brand…
Thanks Arijit for your comment. Godaddy affiliate program is nice as it’s a reputed brand and you can quickly make some good money via selling domain name or hosting. Though I would hardly recommend, promote domain name and don’t promote hosting via Godaddy as many of my WordPress client had some bad experience with them.
Do remember its my personal opinion based on experience….. 🙂
Ya!! I too faced the same problem with the Godaddy Hosting Service…
I feel it’s very slow but they have huge varieties of domain names available at very effective price..
Thanks for your personal opinion.. And i too agree with it!! 😀
