The Affiliate's List, a paid database of affiliate programs with a three-record public demo · Updated October 8, 2026

Two products in US dollars, and a refund page that is still a template

The WooCommerce Store API endpoint /wp-json/wc/store/v1/products returned, on 8 October 2026, product 1742 "The Ultimate Affiliate List" with regular_price 10000 and sale_price 3990, currency_code USD and a minor unit of 2: that is 100.00 USD struck through and 39.90 USD payable. The same endpoint returned product 5132, "Submit your affiliate program", at 500, that is 5.00 USD. The shop page and the product page /produit/affiliate-list/ display the same two figures, the first one next to a "Sale!" badge and the wording "Pay Once, Use Forever." The pricing block on the homepage labels the single tier "Pay Once, Lifetime Access". No second tier, no subscription and no free trial appear anywhere on the public pages.

The cart endpoint reported currency_code USD, total_tax 0, empty tax_lines and needs_shipping false; the shop, product and cart pages state nothing about tax inclusion. Checkout offered two payment routes that day: Airwallex, labelled "Pay with cards and more" (input ids payment_method_airwallex_main and payment_method_awx_onboarding_gateway), and PayPal Express (payment_method_eh_paypal_express). Prices stay in dollars on the translated versions: the French and the Japanese homepages both displayed $100.00 and $39.90. The same product is also sold on Gumroad, at webandseo.gumroad.com, under a longer title, with price_cents 3990 and currency_code "usd" in the embedded JSON; the Gumroad listing's refund_policy and sales_count fields are both null.

The refund terms sit on /terms/, which is the unedited WooCommerce sample policy. It states "Our refund and returns policy lasts 30 days.", lists "Downloadable software products" among non-returnable items, and adds "Only regular priced items may be refunded. Sale items cannot be refunded.", while the only product is displayed as a sale item. The page still carries the placeholders "{email address}" and "{physical address}", and clauses about perishable goods, original packaging, return shipping and opened vinyl records. Nothing on the public pages says how a buyer receives access after payment: no email, no Airtable invitation, no member account, no stated duration beyond "Pay Once, Use Forever". No purchase was made for this page, so delivery and refunds were not tested.

Three records in the free demo, 847 entries in the free posts

The "Live Demo" link in the navigation points to an Airtable shared view titled "The Ultimate Affiliate List (Demo)". Opened in a browser without an Airtable account on 8 October 2026, it showed three records, as its own row counter stated: Affiliate List (the site's own program), Brevo and WP Rocket. Its fourteen columns are Name, Website, Lang, Description, Affiliate URL, Apply URL, Commission %, Commission Amount, Type, Duration, Max Limit, Contact Email, Tags, More Info; none of them records the affiliate network, payout terms, a date added, a date verified or a source for the figures. In those three rows the structured commission fields were largely empty: Commission % blank for two of the three, Duration and Max Limit blank in all three, and Brevo's cookie duration present only as free text inside More Info. The Affiliate URL and Apply URL values were the programs' own public affiliate pages, not tracking links. How many records the paid base holds, and whether it carries fields the demo does not, cannot be checked from outside.

The rest of the free content is the blog. The WordPress REST API reported 45 published posts and 14 pages for the English version, and the post sitemap holds 414 URLs, which is those posts plus the index across nine languages. All 45 English posts carry the same publication date and the same modification date, 16 September 2026, in a window running from 06:33 to 13:27 UTC, and the same byline, Maximilien Labadie. Counted across them on 8 October 2026: 847 numbered program entries in the headings, 747 of them distinct names, with 931 lines labelled "Commission Rate:", 885 "Cookie Duration:" and 76 "Network:". Those figures carry no citation and no date other than the post's own.

Those posts contain 1,818 outbound links in their body, 1,305 distinct URLs across 781 domains, of which 1,728 carry rel="nofollow" or rel="nofollow noopener"; the remaining 90 are the two author-box links to webandseo.fr, one pair per post. Most point at the program's own public affiliate page. About twenty distinct URLs do carry third-party affiliate or referral parameters, among them a ConvertKit link with "lmref=5_xmkQ", an Elementor link with "cxd=214147_1050882" and an AffiliateWP link with "ref=2039"; who those identifiers belong to cannot be determined from outside. No affiliate disclosure or sponsorship notice appears on the posts read in full, and /disclosure/ and /affiliate-disclosure/ return HTTP 404.

The counts the site announces, and what the archive captures show

Three different program counts appear on the site on the same day. The homepage and the meta description say "2,600+ Affiliate Programs" and "260+ Niches"; the product page says "2500+ highly profitable affiliate programs (at least 15% revshare)"; /affiliate-area/ says "more than 2500 affiliate programs offering nice commissions to their affiliates (15% and more)". A few blocks below the 260+ figure, the homepage's own filter section says "We have more than 250 tags/niches". All of these are the site's claims. The only counted figures available from outside are the three demo records and the 847 entries in the free posts.

Those claims do not move in the archive. The Wayback Machine captures of 24 July 2023, 2 June 2024 and 1 January 2025 all show the same "2,600+ affiliate programs", the same "260+ niches", the same "$100.00 $39.90" pricing block and the same "15% - 300%" range as the live page read on 8 October 2026. The first capture of the homepage is 24 July 2023, roughly twelve weeks after the domain was created. What does change is a "Last Update" line inside the pricing card: "1st July 2023" in the July 2023 capture, then "1st June 2024", "1st January 2025", and "Last Update: 1st October 2026" on the live page; the product short description reads "Last Update: October 2026". The line moves month by month while the advertised counts and the prices stay as they were, and nothing reachable from outside shows what, if anything, changed in the data.

The feature block states "The data is presented in a Notion Table view that allows you to search, filter, and easily sort the data", while every "Live Demo" link, on the homepage and on /submit/, points to an Airtable share. The three archive captures cited above read "AirTable view" at that same spot, so the wording changed after January 2025 and the link did not. On method, the Q&A says "We collect these data by visiting and manually verifying each website and affiliate program. All the data are available publicly", describes the row data as "updated periodically", states "If an affiliate program closes its doors, we also delete it from the Affiliate List", and concedes that "some of them don't reveal all the information or are ambiguous, hence the missing data". Those are the publisher's statements about its own process; none of them can be checked without the paid base.

Getting listed, promoting the list, and the few outside traces

A program owner has two routes onto the list, and they do not cost the same. The homepage Q&A links the words "this form" to a Google Form asking for a name, a website, an affiliate program URL, commissions and an email, and the Q&A adds "The program has to offer at least 15% commissions to be accepted." The /submit/ page sells a listing instead: "It's a flat $5 fee", a button reading "List my program for $5", and the line "One-time payment • Lifetime listing • Secure checkout". Both routes existed on 8 October 2026. The paid one is the newer: the archive capture of /submit/ on 24 April 2024 shows a submission form with no price, and the REST API gives 16 December 2025 as that page's modification date. That page announces "Visible to our entire community within 24 hours" and an audience of "500+ Active Marketers", a figure for which the site is the only source. The page /submit-program/, which opens with "Thanks for your order! You can now submit your affiliate program", returned HTTP 200 without purchase or login.

The site also runs its own affiliate program, on the AffiliateWP plugin (version 2.37.0 in the page source), with registration at /affiliate-area/. The terms stated there: "a 50% commission on every sale you generate using your referral link (Level 1) + 10% commission on every sale your referrals make using their referral link (Level 2)". The per-sale figure differs between two pages read the same day: the homepage banner says "you can earn $19.50 per sale", while /affiliate-area/ says "You can make as much as $19.95 per sale (Level 1)". Neither page states a payout threshold, a payout schedule or a payment method for affiliates, and on the English /affiliate-area/ page the registration form shows untranslated French labels: "Votre nom", "Identifiant", "Mot de passe".

Outside traces are few. No Product Hunt listing for the site was found on 8 October 2026; a direct request to its Trustpilot URL returned HTTP 403, which settles nothing either way. The only third-party rating read is on Gumroad, where the product showed 4 ratings averaging 5.0, with the review texts not exposed in the page source. The six testimonials under the heading "The Affiliate's List reviews" are hardcoded in the homepage, undated, and only one carries a handle. The Instagram account linked from the site showed 7 followers and a most recent post dated 29 January 2025; the other linked account is the personal X account of Maximilien Labadie.

Publisher, legal notice, cookies: what the site does not publish

theaffiliateslist.com publishes no legal notice and no company identification. /legal/, /mentions-legales/, /imprint/, /about/ and /disclosure/ all returned HTTP 404 on 8 October 2026, and the 14 pages listed by the REST API include no legal notice and no about page. The /terms/ page names no company, no country and no governing law, and the Contact page offers a form with no postal address, country or phone number. The only publisher signal is the footer line "© 2026 The Affiliate's List by Web & SEO", linking to webandseo.fr, followed by a credit line naming Sagun Shrestha, Naveen Nath and Maximilien Labadie; the site does not say what Web & SEO is, nor what role each of the three has.

The legal notice of webandseo.fr states that Web & SEO Limited is a limited company based in Hong Kong, gives a licence number 1826120 and a capital of 10,000 HKD, and names Maximilien Labadie as "Responsable". That notice covers webandseo.fr and does not mention theaffiliateslist.com. The licence number could not be confirmed: the Hong Kong Companies Registry e-Search returned no result for it through the tools used here. A French register entry exists under the close name WEBANDSEO (SIREN 904460771), but nothing read connects it to this domain. No document read establishes the legal relationship between theaffiliateslist.com and Web & SEO Limited.

WHOIS shows the domain created on 1 May 2023 at Porkbun LLC, with the registrant fields redacted. It runs WordPress on the GeneratePress theme, with WooCommerce, AffiliateWP, TranslatePress and independent-analytics among its plugins. It resolves to 51.210.79.118, in an OVH range registered in France, with static assets served from cdn.theaffiliateslist.com, a KeyCDN endpoint. /ads.txt returns 404 and /feed/ returns HTTP 410.

On a first visit to the homepage in a browser, document.cookie and localStorage were empty, the only script host was the site's own CDN, and no consent banner appeared; no third-party analytics string and no consent-plugin signature appear in the homepage source. Cookies appear once the product is added to the cart: two WooCommerce cart cookies and a session cookie with a 48-hour Max-Age. The Privacy Policy is the unedited WordPress sample text about comments, Gravatar and login cookies, naming no payment processor, no analytics tool and no company. Three things stay out of reach from outside: the size of the paid base, what a buyer receives after payment, and what changed at each monthly "Last Update".
