FAQ

How does the sponsoring system work?
When you introduce the The Cube Affiliation service to your friends, colleagues and acquaintances, you benefit from additional payments (up to 6,00 % for each ad placed on your sponsorees' sites).

Here is how it works:
  • Enter your friends' or colleagues' contact details into the sponsorship form.
  • They will receive an offer inviting them to use the The Cube Affiliation service, along with a welcome offer (10% discount on Premium and Gold plans).
  • Whenever one of them subscribes, he becomes your sponsoree and you get paid 25% of the amount of his revenue.
Why choose the The Cube network for my white-label advertising service?
There are other white-label ad services out there. So why did we create a new service and, above all, why should you choose the The Cube network as opposed to one of our competitors?

There are many reasons, namely:
  • Multilingual ads
    Despite the high demand, no other ad service currently offers multilingual ads. That is why we created the Babelimmo site, the leading multilingual real estate ad site, which was an immediate success due to the lack of such a service for property owners wishing to sell.
  • Higher income
    Since the ads are multilingual, the average shopping basket is significantly higher than with competitor services. In fact, the average shopping basket observed (calculated in real time) is currently 87,48 GBP. Depending on the plan chosen, you will receive a payment of up to 75% for each ad, or an average of 65,61 GBP per ad. Based on one ad placement per day, the corresponding earnings are 23 947 GBP.
  • A product that is easy to sell
    Real estate ad sites abound, but the The Cube network is the only one featuring ads that are both highly detailed and fully multilingual. Owners who are selling property are keen on multilingual posting, since they can reach 350 million potential customers in Europe.
  • A turnkey solution
    We are the only network to offer a turnkey solution (Premium plan) so you don't have to do anything: we provide you with a totally separate site with search engine optimisation, and we take care of the creation, maintenance, hosting and even referencing. All you have to do is make your site known and... collect revenue from it.
Does the use of your ad service involve an exclusivity agreement?
No. You are perfectly free to use The Cube services and our competitors' services at the same time, although you will quickly notice that our solution offers a number of advantages compared to other solutions, namely much higher revenue.
Who covers the "publicity" budget for my ad service?
The costs of publicising your site (and thus increasing your revenue) are of course borne by you (regardless of the plan chosen).
The principle of the shared ad network is to offer the widest exposure possible, since each site in the network features all of the ads in the network, regardless of whether they were placed on your site or not. It is understood, of course, that you only receive payment for those ads that have been placed on your site.

In terms of publicity, there is a direct connection between your payments and the number of ads placed on your site. Each affiliate can manage his site publicity as he sees fit. Some affiliates do little (or no) publicity, and consequently receive very few payments. Others publicise the site to maximise potential revenue, which is in everyone's best interest.

For affiliates who do not want to concern themselves with publicity, we recommend the Gold plans, which include a permanent Google Ads campaign fully managed by us, based on the budget defined by the affiliate. In such a way, affiliates have nothing, or next to nothing, to do to earn additional income.
Our experience with this type of publicity enables us to manage our affiliates' ad campaigns as effectively as possible, with the same objective in mind: to generate the highest revenue possible in everyone's best interest.

Naturally, affiliates can manage their own ad campaigns (most frequent), in order to control their budget on a daily basis, and allocate a higher budget during certain periods, for example. They can decide to reinvest a certain percentage of their payments, and also diversify their advertising media. But many other promotional means exist, and it is up to you to determine how involved you want to be publicising your ad service.

Lastly, the About our offer page provides indications for determining the breakeven points of the different plans. You can thus make your choice based on the means you feel you can use to promote your site (links, referencing, Google Ads, or other).
Is the The Cube ad database shared with other networks, and does it include ads from other networks?
No. The The Cube network is totally independent. To maintain quality for our advertisers (private and professional), the ads posted are from member sites of the network only. This exclusivity is also necessary due to the specific nature of the ads in the The Cube: network: the highly detailed and multilingual presentation of the ads requires standardisation and comprehensive information, something no other site currently offers.
How much can I expect to earn with your ad service?
Since the ads are multilingual, the average shopping basket is significantly higher than with competitor services. In fact, the average shopping basket observed (calculated in real time) is currently 87,48 GBP. Depending on the plan chosen, you will receive a payment of up to 75% for each ad, or an average of 65,61 GBP per ad. Based on one ad placement per day, the corresponding earnings are 23 947 GBP.
How can you offer payments of up to 70%?
The principle of white-label advertising is a win-win situation: our sites enjoy increased exposure, receive more traffic and thus generate higher revenue. So we feel it is only natural for our affiliates to earn sizeable income from this service as well.
How can I find out my account balance?
You can consult your account balance at any time by logging into your Customer Area. All transactions are recorded in real time and itemised in your account statement.
When are payments made?
You can request payment for all or part of your account balance at any time, as soon as your balance is greater or equal to 100 EUR. Requests are made via your Customer Area. Payments are issued within approximately 15 to 30 days from receipt of your invoice.
I am not a business. Are the earnings from my ads taxable?
The answer is clear: in most countries, you are legally obligated to declare all of your income, regardless of the amount. It is incumbent upon you to declare it, and you alone are responsible should you decide not to do so.
If you start to earn significant amounts, this activity could be considered professional. In this case, you need to take the necessary measures to register as a professional.

Important remark: This holds true for any white-label service or affiliation platform.
If I choose the Premium (or Gold) plan, can I publicise my new site?
Yes. Yes, and it is highly recommended, as is anything you can do to increase your site's exposure (and thus your revenue).
If I choose the Premium (or Gold) plan, can I create links to my new site from my other sites?
Of course. Anything that draws visitors to your site is useful, since it helps increase your revenue. We even provide banners that you can use on other sites.
If I choose the Premium (or Gold) plan, can I choose my domain name?
You choose your domain name, subject to availability. The domain name is registered in our name, however, to prevent abuse (for example, an affiliate who makes his site known through our services, then decides to replace the site content with something else). In concrete terms, you cannot re-use this domain name for something else, but you remain the sole user for as long as you are subscribed.
If I choose the Premium (or Gold) plan, am I the owner of my domain name?
No. But you enjoy the use of it as long as you are subscribed to the service. However, you cannot re-use this domain name if you decide to stop the site. That said, once the site is up, there is no reason to stop it, since it can only earn you money.
With the Premium (or Gold) plan, what exactly do I have to do?
Nothing: we take care of everything! Your only role (but it is vital!) is to publicise the site to optimise return. If you have other sites, you can publicise on them, too: we provide a ready-to-use banner. Obviously, any means of publicising your site can only be used if you are legally entitled to do so:
  • E-mail signature
  • Presentation of your site in discussion forums (+ signature in your posts)
  • Link exchanges with other sites
  • Newsletter to members (if you run other sites)
  • E-mail shots (ensuring compliance with spam regulations))
  • Telephone canvassing (particularly real estate agencies)
  • Publicising on partner sites
  • Web advertising (like Google Ads or Microsoft Adsense)
  • Flyers in shops
  • Free classified ads
  • etc.
The most effective means are Web advertising (like Google Ads) and direct canvassing (e-mail or telephone).
If I choose the Premium (or Gold) plan, will I have access to your FTP server to make changes?
No, for obvious security reasons. With this subscription plan, we provide the site and it is not modifiable. You can only add up to 10 links at the bottom of the page to increase your site's popularity. This allows you to do link exchanges with other sites and increase awareness of your site even faster.
For each of these 10 links, you can indicate:
  • the URL
  • the link text
  • whether the link should appear on all pages, or just the home page
The The Cube network is the only network that offers a subscription plan with a "turnkey" site. Obviously, we cannot leave the site open to modifications, due the risks that would entail.
What would my site look like with the Premium (or Gold) plan?
Here is an example of the site of an affiliate who opted for a Premium plan.: example. The site provided is fully optimised for Google referencing and enables indexing for each and every ad. This creates greater exposure for your site, and thus higher potential revenue.
What are the advantages and inconveniences of the Premium plan?
The PREMIUM plan is ideal if one of the following applies to you:
  • You don't have a Web site.
  • You don't want any hassles... you're looking for a turnkey solution!

If one of the above applies to you, then the PREMIUM plan (provision of a turnkey site) is made for you.

How it works

Here is how the PREMIUM plan works:
  • You create an affiliate account.
  • You choose a domain name for your new site.
  • We see to the creation, hosting and referencing of a totally new site for you (see example).
  • Your new site is operational within 48 hours: Web users can view and place ads.
  • Ad placements are translated into 6 languages and instantly posted on all the The Cube network sites.
  • You receive payment for each ad placement, based on the pricing schedule below.

Advantages of this plan

The PREMIUM plan offers a number of advantages:
  • You have nothing to do: we take care of everything.
  • The site created for you is fully optimised for referencing.
  • Thanks to dynamic SEO technology, each ad (regardless of whether it was placed on your site or another site in the The Cube network) is referenced in search engines to guarantee greater exposure.
  • Your site is dedicated exclusively to real estate ads, which gives a more reliable and credible image to advertisers.
  • Carefully prepared site presentation gives your sites a quality image.
  • Your site automatically benefits from any new improvements we make or services we add, without you having to intervene. The addition of new services can generate new revenue.
  • You don't have to worry about anything: purchasing a domain name, creating a site, hosting, referencing... everything is included.
  • If you already have one or more Web sites, you can immediately start promoting this new site to benefit from new revenue even faster.
  • And of course, you earn new revenue... without having to do anything (except make your site known).

GOLD plan - Turnkey site + publicity The GOLD plan is identical to the PREMIUM plan, except that we also publicise your new site:
  • We set up your Web site (see PREMIUM plan).
  • We promote your site through Google Ads campaigns that we manage for you, within the budget that you set.

Advantages of this plan

The GOLD plan offers a number of advantages:
  • All the advantages of the PREMIUM plan (see above).
  • Thanks to the Google Ads campaign, your new site is given immediate exposure, enabling you to generate revenue even faster.
What is the breakeven point for the different offers?
The number of ads required to reach the breakeven point differs according to the plan chosen:
  • PREMIUM 1 and GOLD 1 plans
    Based on the average shopping basket observed (currently 87,48 €), the service becomes profitable after only 3 ads per year, or one ad every 127 days.
  • PREMIUM 2 and GOLD 2 plans
    Based on the average shopping basket observed (currently 87,48 €), the service becomes profitable after only 7 ads per year, or one ad every 56 days. On top of that, your earnings are 50% higher than with the "1" plans
  • PREMIUM 3 and GOLD 3 plans
    Based on the average shopping basket observed (currently 87,48 €), the service becomes profitable after only 22 ads per year, or one ad every 16 days. On top of that, your earnings are 125% higher than with the "1" plans
  • PREMIUM 4 and GOLD 4 plans
    Based on the average shopping basket observed (currently 87,48 €), the service becomes profitable after only 33 ads per year, or one ad every 11 days. On top of that, your earnings are 200% higher than with the "1" plans
  • PREMIUM 5 and GOLD 5 plans
    Based on the average shopping basket observed (currently 87,48 €), the service becomes profitable after only 40 ads per year, or one ad every 9 days. On top of that, your earnings are 275% higher than with the "1" plans
How do I decide between Premium and Gold plans "1" and "2"?
There are two versions of the PREMIUM or GOLD plan:
  • In the version "1", the initial fixed costs are lower, but so are the payments made for each sale.
  • In the version "2", the actual fixed costs are billed, but higher payments are made for each sale.
  • Based on the average shopping basket observed (currently 87,48 GBP ), the versions "2" are more profitable after only 5 ads per year, or one ad every 79 days.
  • Based on the average shopping basket observed (currently 87,48 GBP ), the versions "3" are more profitable after only 21 ads per year, or one ad every 17 days.
  • Based on the average shopping basket observed (currently 87,48 GBP ), the versions "4" are more profitable after only 32 ads per year, or one ad every 11 days.
  • Based on the average shopping basket observed (currently 87,48 GBP ), the versions "5" are more profitable after only 39 ads per year, or one ad every 9 days.
Since the content of the ad service is the same for all affiliates, won't my site be blacklisted by Google for "duplicate content"?
No, because even though each site has an identical presentation, there are a number of dynamic and randomly generated features (such as the "Latest Ads" and "Ad of the Day" sections found on all pages). In other words, it is impossible for 2 pages to be identical, and thus there is no risk of "duplicate content".

This is a very important point, something we are extremely careful about. The technique used for our ad service enables us to make instant updates to the code whenever search engine algorithms change.
