7 Affiliate Link Features (Cont.) Marketing Support AffiliateLink allows you to categorize your affiliates as advertisers using affiliate management and to send paid s on behalf of any advertiser. You could literally manage a GPTREM program on behalf of your affiliate and get paid for sending mass . In affiliate reports, the "advertiser" can see how many s were sent on their behalf and how many paid clickthroughs were made for each . Perhaps your advertiser is a sub-affiliate (referred by another affiliate). On the second and third tiers, you can reward the referring affiliate commissions for the paid s. This encourages affiliates to refer advertisers who then pay you money to send s to other affiliates.

8 Affiliate Link Features (Cont.) GPTREM Program Support AffiliateLink gives the administrator the ability to send mass s in a GPTREM program. This is done by embedding up to nine paid links into messages sent to affiliates. When the paid links are clicked on, the system rewards them the commission assigned to that link. Built in anti-fraud protection allows AffiliateLink to reward each affiliate commissions only one time for each paid link. Paid statistics and commissions are displayed in the administrator and affiliate reports. Per sale, per lead, per affiliate, per category, per click Affiliate statistics available AffiliateLink will generate reports for sales, leads, individual affiliates, categories of affiliates, and clickthroughs. You'll be able to accurately determine your ROI. Complete Transaction History AffiliateLink will allow you to see any commissions rewarded and sales made by any particular affiliate (or all of them).

9 Affiliate Link Features (Cont.) Customize entrances per category and per Affiliate Create custom entrances for any affiliate or any affiliate category in your affiliate program. If you have a special order form or shopping cart that you want your affiliates to use, or if you want to take your affiliates visitors to a specific area of interest on your website, you can lead your visitors to where you want them to go by creating custom entrances for your affiliates to lead them through. Reward recurring commissions Do you want to reward your affiliates commission on the sale of a membership by rewarding commissions on a monthly recurring membership fee or other recurring fee? AffiliateLink can be configured to automatically reward the affiliate, every time the recurring fee is paid.

Fully customizable templates There are templates available for every page view possible for your AffiliateLink account. These templates are completely customizable, and editable from the Administrative panel. Broadcast to all Affiliates and affiliates by category your affiliate categories separately. For example, if you've created a category for "fisherman" and would like to offer a special promotional to "get free fish hooks", you could offer the special to only that category, and /or even more specifically to a targeted demographic within each category. 1 st, 2 nd, and/or 3 rd tier Tracking support Track statistics fully on 3 tiers. Tracking and reporting on each tier is equally specific. For example, you can reward commissions specifically on a per affiliate level at the third tier.

11 Affiliate Link Features (Cont.) Persistence control Persistence control gives you the ability to control the number of days the affiliate I.D. is kept in the memory of the visitor's browser (cookies) after he follows the link from the affiliate's website. If you want to reward an affiliate for only orders placed in the initial visit, you can set the persistence accordingly. Each time the visitor follows the link from the same affiliate's website, or from another affiliate's website, the "timer" will reset and the persistence for the affiliate I.D. will be updated.

If you only have specific products that you are willing to pay commissions for, this is an effective way to leave off some products and include others.

12 Affiliate Link Features (Cont.) Strict Clickthrough Mode AffiliateLink will only log the clickthrough if the administrator has designated the referring page URL. This function can be disabled so that all clickthroughs can be logged. Advanced Orders Management If this option is turned on from the administrative panel, new orders will be logged as "pending". In the Orders section of the administrative panel, orders will be queued for confirmation. To appear in affiliate and administrative reports and to calculate commissions, the orders must be confirmed.

Your affiliates can track the success of their advertising, as well, with our unique "member tracking".

Since my own marketing efforts can now begin, so we'll soon see what happens to my little business idea. In the interim, you've done such a great job for me, I'd love to give you a ringing endorsement. ~~~ Steve Caswell, Happyshoppers.com Your Customer Service is just excellent!!
