Webmaster sites and verification

Earn on traffic from sites you own.

Where to find it

/account/affiliation?tab=webmaster

How it works

Requires aff.system_enabled + aff.webmaster_enabled + Approved webmaster (separate from affiliation). Add website, then verify via meta (xfile-affiliate-verification) and/or DNS (_xfile-affiliate.{domain}).

Statuses: Pending verification → Verified — pending approval → Approved / Rejected. If aff.webmaster_require_approval is off, verify can auto-approve. Payable ?wm= needs approved + verifiedAt. ?wm= accepts site id or domain; referer from a registered domain can also attribute.

Common problems

Affiliation-approved but no Webmaster tools

Approve webmaster separately.

Site must be verified before approval

Admin (and often member flow) cannot approve until verified.
