Affiliate Program Software Characteristics & User Feedback
Web Commerce Today, Issue 46, May 15, 2001
Research for this survey of affiliate program software was conducted in early May 2001. The top part of the form is from material obtained from the software's website. Material at the bottom of the form is based on feedback from our readers who use the software. Their remarks are candid, and are not necessarily the opinion of the editor or publisher. If you have experience with using affiliate program software to manage an affiliate program, I'd appreciate your candid feedback about the program you use at www.wilsonweb.com/survey/affiliate-software.cfm

Positives: |
I don't have to really do much with it. Affiliates just register as a free account with Clickbank. I pay a one time 49.95 fee. That's all...plus the merchant fees they charge. I use it for purchasers of my book, also for less hassle. I use a regular merchant account for my other store, but its fees are really bad. It was a complete "outsource" solution for my credit card collection and affiliate management with a very low upfront cost. |
|
Negatives: |
Not a lot of tracking with it, but I really don't need tracking right now. It is only a one-tier program. I wish there was a two-tier program for affiliates. |
