Bitdefender Affiliate Program

Bitdefender is the antivirus that independent labs rate at the top year after year. It sells Total Security, Premium Security with a VPN and password manager, Ultimate Security with identity protection, and a full range of business products, and it is one of the few security brands reviewers recommend without caveats.

The affiliate program pays a base 20 percent revenue share on new consumer customers and 50 percent on business products, with custom deals for larger publishers reaching as high as 100 percent. The cookie is 30 days. Bitdefender runs its own program through its ecommerce provider and is also listed on Impact and FlexOffers, where rates of 25 to 40 percent have been reported. Applications are reviewed and creative is supplied.

The business rate is the standout. A single small business licence pays half its value, and Bitdefender's SMB products sell well through IT content.

Bitdefender converts from best antivirus roundups, lab test explainers, Norton versus Bitdefender comparisons, small business endpoint security guides and European security content in the many languages Bitdefender supports. Its test results give you objective evidence to cite, which makes it one of the easiest security products to recommend honestly. Its Digital Identity Protection add on gives you an identity theft angle for the same review.
