Lets look at the factors involved in tracking your affiliate campaigns.
What do you need from your Affiliate tracking solution?
There's a large choice of affiliate tracking solutions available on the internet. Before we even consider whether your program is best suited to a software or network based solution, lets look at the basic functions of a typical tracking solution.
Affiliate sign-ups
You want a potential Affiliate to arrive at your site, review the Affiliate offer and upon agreeing to your terms and conditions, sign-up.
Most systems allow you to choose if Affiliates are 'auto approved' i.e. accepted as an Affiliate into your Program immediately or if all applications are held awaiting your manual approval.
Provide Affiliate link codes
Once approved your Affiliate needs to know how to link to your site.
Just about every system will send an automated email. This will provide the Affiliate with their unique link codes and instructions on how to place their text links, banners and any other link creative that you offer.
Real time reporting
Your Affiliates want to be able to check their statistics at their convenience.
Your system should allow them to log into an administration area, and at a minimum, check their click-thru and sales statistics.
Typically this administration area will also include a download area enabling them to grab the code for your range of banners and buttons etc.
Management reports
You will need real time statistics showing how many Affiliates have joined your Program, how many are active and the impressions that are being generated over your defined time periods.
Plus, of course, you need to see the total sales and commissions due to each partner.
Payment processing
if You have difficult with any factors about Affiliate marketing , send us a Mail and we will do our darndest to get your website profitable and provide you with the HELP and tracking solutions you need.
Your tracking system also needs to report on what commissions are due according to your minimum check cutting policy.
Of course, these are just the very basics. There are a variety of value added features amongst the different solutions available that you and your affiliates may find useful.
We will recommend www.myap.com by Kowabunga as a unique third party software suite.
