Semrush is the SEO platform used by 28 million marketers, and its affiliate program — called BeRush — pays some of the highest flat commissions in software. Affiliates earn $100 to $300 for every sale, plus $10 for every free trial their referrals start. On top of that, there are loyalty rewards that grow with your quarterly sales, and content bonuses of $150 to $1,500 for publishing qualifying articles, videos or posts about Semrush.
Our pick for: SEO bloggers, YouTubers and marketing educators.
The standout term is the cookie: 120 days, which is one of the longest in this directory. A visitor who clicks your link in January and buys in April still earns you commission. The program is open to content publishers, educators, video creators, social media communities and technology partners, and Semrush provides dedicated affiliate managers, high-converting creatives and early access to new campaigns.
The gap is the payout picture. The official program page does not publish a payout threshold, a payment schedule or payment methods, and its FAQ section did not render in the copy we read — so those details only appear after joining. The per-tier loyalty amounts are also not cleanly readable on the page, so only the $100–$300 headline range is certain. For an SEO blogger, YouTuber or marketing educator, BeRush is a natural fit: a famous product, big flat commissions and a four-month cookie. Just ask about the payout terms before you build around it.
