What are the criteria to be an Associate?

The Associate Program is designed for those creating high-quality, original content and are looking for additional ways to get traffic to their website or blog. The program is not designed for sites that aggregate existing content.

What is the "Associate" Logo?

The Code Project Associate logo has been created to identify the members of the Associate Program and the content created by these members. The logo stands for the level of quality that has become expected of The Code Project.

How should the "Friend of The Code Project" Logo be used?

The logo should be displayed on your website and blog to identify you and your content as part of The Associate Program. Please link the Associate Logo to The Code Project (http://www.codeproject.com). Contact us if you wish to use the logo anywhere outside your website, blog, or material referring to your website or blog.

How do I submit my Blog to The Code Project Blog Articles?

Simply go to this page and submit your feed's URL. Learn more about the Blog aggregation program here. You don't have to be a member of the Associates Program to submit your blog feed.

How do I know if I've been accepted into the program?

We'll review your site you submitted as part of the application. If it's appropriate and shows a reasonable level of quality, we'll send you an email message welcoming you to the program. Conversely, if we regrettably do not accept your application, we'll notify you by email. The Code Project reserves the right to accept only appropriate sites into its Associate program. Membership in the Associate program is at The Code Project's sole discretion and can be discontinued at any time.
