If you could design the admin area of a Sponsor Program...What would you include?
 

Hey guys and girls,

Just trying to get some feedback ....

If you were to design "your" perfect Sponsorship Program Admin Section, what would you include and what would you exclude and why!!.

Please feel free to ramble..lol

Warm regards,
Chipmunk:thumbsup

A shave feature thats called "bonus" in case anyone ever gets screen shots of your admin area

BIG ass buttons at the top for stats, links, marketing materials.

I can't count the number of sponsors that seem to want traffic,
but hide the affiliate link codes 3-4 clicks deep.

games (to entertain webmasters)

NO FLASH
NO FRAMES
Once we log in, when we want link codes, have our codes pre filled.

Ability to download banners/ads/content in zip files so we don't have to right click and save each one individually.

Many many odd/vertical/button banners.

I'll post more after others ...

I agree on the no flash :thumbsup

Referrer stats, not just for signups but for all traffic sent.

No tables...... we don't all use the same resolution!! lol

Definitely "No Flash" and not so graphically intense. Not everyone is on high speed
Great looking banners in all shapes and sizes, with a wide variety for every site you want to promote
Hosted galleries and sites, with descriptions included
Hosted sites with actual names
Should be easy to navigate and easy to find what you are looking for. I want to get what I need and get out. I don't want to have to live in the admin section

fast and clean design with low number of graphics

A pic of my dick! :2 cents:

I'll second all of the above Bobbie :-) Even though I am on high speed sometimes things seem really slow when there's flash involved.

And I do like a good selection of banners as well. Odd size ones!! Ones with and without hardcore too.

Descriptions!! Text you can use when marketing the sites, example text, etc.

some great input guys :thumbsup

Hey Chipmunk, one great addition would be demographic data of the various sites membership base. This would help to target our traffic and create more targeted copy. Screen caps and good desciptive text of each sites content. The generic description like thousands of pics & videos just don't cut it anymore. Since the majority of sites have that, what points set this site apart from all of the others. Odd sized banners are increasingly more important now with the add blocking software out there. Things like gallery & free site generators, fpa generators, & the ability to build your own tours would be cool. Stats that show refer, so we can figure out what traffic is hitting the tours and determine why or why they did not convert. This should give you enough to chew on for awhile. lol

I really like Silvercash's SMC Lite... very nice to check stats

but why not take it one step further?

provide datafeeds so programs like Statsremote can grab stats much faster... would save BW too

How about a hot model to greet us each time we login? .....make the models dynamic for each login too :thumbsup
