Multiple sites affiliate scripts. Best one?
 

I need an affiliate script which works like MPA2 yet without the cascading part (and hopefully cheaper).

Main features it MUST have:

>>> Support multiple sites

>>> Logs the customer to the affiliate permanently so that he is paid a commmission on every site/product the customer buys for life.

>>> Full and accurate stats for both me and my affiliates with refferer URL, Conversion ratio, etc all tracked.

>>> Needs to be hostable on my server

And all the other good stuff...

Anybody got any ideas or recommendations on what to look at?

There's no such thing as a cookie that lasts for life. Is there anything else that could reliably credit a customer to an affiliate for life?

Well, I guess a database of customers addresses/names could do it but never mind that...

I just mean a really long cookie or something.

Example.

Affiliate sends me customer through site A
Same customer purchases from site B - 2 months later, the affiliate receives a commission from site B also.

email of a presignup could be associated with the original affiliate.

Look at my sig. We have all this features and cascade billings too, if you want, and a lot of other features... Just look at it and contact me, if you want.

Just to clarify - No, you dont have all the features.

How about:
Having and managing groups of affiliates?
Scalability of your solution?
Payout tiers?
Giving affiliates extra bonuses?

I do admit though, that you've got some features we dont have (but we've got the features you dont have too).

Doesnt matter.
Any affiliate program owner knows that the affiliate tracking software is not just about number of features.

How much does reboom cost? Looks nice

Of course we don't have ALL features, same as you :) But we have an opportunity to make any plug-ins, which our customers want... So it's not a problem.

And when I said: "We have all this features" I've just mean only the features, that cheekycherry listed :)

And what do you mean in this features:
Scalability of your solution?
Payout tiers?

And of course I agree, that affiliate software is not only a number of features :)

and what do you call chips a hoy? :)

Scalability is the capacity to serve additional users or transactions without fundamentally altering the application's architecture or program design. If an application is scalable, you can maintain steady performance as the load increases simply by adding additional resources such as servers, processors or memory

Additionaly, by scalability, I mean customizing the software to meet user's needs, i.e. adding additional features.


Tier payouts:
You can for example pay users more if they make more than X sales or $X money. You can setup multiple tiers (like trafficcashgold paying more if you get X signups per week, or clickcash).

In that case we have both of this features :)

Then by this, ANY program is scalable because if you throw more hardward at it it will run better.

With proper coding and a decent machine i highly doubt this would be any issue for any affiliate script.

That is called upgrades. Code should be written so that it is already optimized and not something which comes later on. That is what beta testing is about.


Just about every affiliate script i've seen does this. What makes your software so good? Think cuz you got some PHP generated graphs that yours is the shit?

lets look at your testimonials.

"t has been a pleasure employing Witold to create for us a custom affiliate software solution. The project was delivered ahead of schedule and it's features included everything we asked for. Our revenue tripled within 3 months of implementing this software. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Witold to anybody that's interested in starting their own affiliate program or just upgrading their existing software.

Brendon, BioFen "

When you have 0 sales initially and you install an affiliate program and you get 3 sales, yes your revenue has trippled. But signing up with paypal would let you do the same thing.

Next,
"We highly recommend these guys for their software programming services, they revamped out affiliate program
from down up and optimized it so it can handle up to 40 hits per second!
Very nice work guys!

Nick, Clear Web Host
"

No big deal there. Any program which couldnt handle 40Requests/sec is a peice of shit. Just imagine if apache couldnt handle more than 40 requests/sec. I wrote banner software which handled millions of banner impressions a day, while providing realtime stats and multiple ways to generate totals based on all the Advertising banners/groups/sub-groups. MYSQL was doing atleast 70+ queries /sec.

And the last one

"I spent several weeks comparing prices, features, quality etc.. in several different programs and determined that this script gives me the most bang for its buck! It has some really great features, and is easily intergrated with the 3 major adult processors, and any coder could add additional processors aswell! The tracking on this software is amazing, counts every hit, and performs well under high loads. I would HIGHLY recommend this software!

Trey, Epic Cash
"

I think the best is "The tracking on this software is amazing, counts every hit, and performs well under high loads. I would HIGHLY recommend this software! ", well gee, i should hope that it does do what it is supposed to. other than that, this is coming from someone we all know and hate :)

The morna of this post?

Before you start to go slamming your competition on the boards maybe you should stop and smell your own shit because as stupid as you try to make them look someone can always do the same to you.

Sigurd, you need to rewrite your sales pages, they read like shit and last time I looked your demo didn't work. I MAY HAVE PURCHASED YOUR PRODUCT ALREADY if you had better promotional writing! I've checked your site twice. Both times left me perplexed.

With MPA2's sales pages, it's easy to see what the product is and is all about.

Wito, how much for reboom and can I have a demo user and pass, post here, email's fucked at the minute.

busy cheekycherry ? I ICQED you and e-mailed u mate about AutoResponder, hit me up mate..


Also Do any of these pieces of software have IP tracking? Do webbys get credit on exit pop etc?

notjoe,

1. When you read something, try to understand it before you post back.

2. I'm not slamming my competitors, some of them have great software some of them do not.

3. You simpy dont understand scalability, so dont talk about it.

4. Heh, not all programes are easy to upgrade.

5. It's pathetic that you criticize testimonials. If you dont know, I'll explain it to you: testimonials are "something given in appreciation of a person's service or achievement". Clients can write whatever they appreciate. And criticizing testimonials is the stupidest thing you could have done heh.

So now I'm writing a testimonial for you:
"Notjoe is just great, I liked the fact that he's got so many posts here and his last post is soo long". That's what I like about you.
Now go ahead and criticize it (hint: write: ah, but not all of his posts are smart , like the last one, it doesnt matter he's got so many of them).

So, criticize the product, not testimonials. And you actually dont know the product, so you're bitching about testimonials heh.

6. One more time, I'm not attacking you or anyone, it is you.

its unprofessional for u both to go on like this on a board, do not TRASH ur competitors, work with them... simple.

Darren,

Noone trashes competitors, I have nothing to say but good words about most of them. And I think Sigurd can say the same.

I think ur program is the best wito!

Heh, it is not.

oh well... if the owner of the program eg U says its not up to much then what else is there to say...

he's being humble. :)



actually, i know a guy that says his stuff sucks all the time, but he's a very top-notch programmer, and the only reason he says it sucks is because it's not perfect. when usually it does a lot more than what's needed.

cftrack is our affiliate software.

it's taken over a year to get out of beta.

we wrote it because nobody elses software offered the number of features, quality or extensibility we needed.

it's really expensive ($25k per license which includes 1 year of support & upgrades), but if you want the best, it's the way to go.

quickbuck is powered by it. i really cant think of a feature it doesnt have.

Well it seems all these copy cats have came out of the works since MPA2 started showing its stuff on GFY and the net... Ive been with MPA2 for over 6 months now, every need fulfilled, excellent support and software which does as I want... any customizations can be done , they take good care of you...

If ur looking for something to put urself in front of the competition then MPA2 is it, if ur looking for something which will make you "yet another site struggling" then there are many alternatives posted in this thread.


my 2 cents.

Thanks a million Darren for those good words. We do really try hard to keep all our customers happy!

Have a great weekend everyone :)

Hmmm. You are talking about our bad English? :) But it was a UK guy, who checked all this pages :) If you don't understand understand something, just contact me by ICQ: 176541498 or mail and I'll try to explain you everything.

About our demo. If you want to look at adverts interface, you just need to register as advert in demo first!
Oh, I've just looked at our demo, sorry for this. We've just changed our servers and our admin didn't make a demo working :) It'll be fixed very very soon!

Ok, I want to make things clear. We don't try to oppose our software to mpa2. I really can say, that mpa2 is better now, than this version of WebAdmin. Of course now we are making a new version, which, may be, will be better, than mpa2 (I'll not explain why right now, because it's not ready yet) and of course I understand, that mpa2 will not stop on this level too. It's just an evolution and competition. BUT! I just try to say, that we are not so good as mpa2, so our software is cheaper! It's the first thing. And the second: we work with ANY billing. So, this is two main things, why some people prefer to work with us more, than with mpa2! So it's your choice.

And about this topic. If you'll read the first message you'll see, that it was about the software LIKE mpa2 and cheaper than mpa2. Why are you trying to advertise mpa2 here? There are some topics on GFY about mpa2, try to spam there!

About how does it work (our tracking system). You can read about it here: http://www.wmcgi.com/partnership.html It differs a lot from mpa2, but it allows us to work with any billing. What is not clear yet?

Dude, the whole thing needs rewriting...

It doesn't do anything to "sell" to me and even though I am fully versed in how affiliate programs work, it seems I am left confused wondering exactly what your program does.

The English sucks and it really does not sell it to me at all.

I mean WTF? You had someone English read that?!? Was he 13 years old?

You say here that your program does everything all of the good affiliate scripts do, but then why doesn't it tell me that on the sales pages?

Where are the bulleted features/benefits?

Where is the catchy headline to drag me in?

High quality sales letters are the most important part of selling non-adult products online and you simply CANNOT get this part wrong. If you do, you are losing money!

Daz, I will try to contact you tomorrow. One of my home PC's went down yesterday so I lost emails. I will get back to you when I'm in the office tomorrow mate.

Hey Sigurd, Email me mate... I don't want you to think I'm just ripping the piss. I sure I can help you out.

Ok, the structure of our site is another thing, we'll try to change it, considering your wishes :)

We can design and do all text for u... ICQ 46335817

Darren does good designwork... :thumbsup

We have a new designer and soon we'll redesign our site and in 1-1,5 months we'll present the new version of our soft.
