Need Powerful Backlinks - Top 4 Affiliate Program Technologies I Am Recommending to My Retail Merchant Clients

When beginning a relationship with a client I am always asked: "What affiliate tracking programs do you recommend?"

It's a little like asking what car do you like to drive: "Ah the good old days before kids when I could put the top down on my Porsche and I would go blasting around town"

But I'm not dreaming and clients need succinct and thoughtful answers that show that I understand the market and I understand their needs and that I can recommend a solution that fits their retail product line and expectations for a return on investment (ROI).

As an affiliate program manger for 7 years, I have a substantial amount of experience with virtually every major affiliate program marketing, management and tracking technology. Basically I have found that I am recommending the same solutions over and over again.

So to streamline the decision making process I created a pricing specification sheet for my client's use, as follows:

Affiliate Technology Options*

Commission Junction*

$2,250 setup fee

$3,000 prepaid commission

Monthly: 30% of affiliate payout or $500 whichever is greater

Market to 1.5M affiliates

ShareASale*

$350 setup fee

$100 prepaid commission

Monthly: 20% of the affiliate payout or $25 whichever is greater

Market to 200,000 affiliates

DirectTrack*

$995 setup fee

$100 a month for bandwidth

No commission payout to DirectTrack

No affiliate marketing provided

AvantLink (New)*

Datafeed conversion to search engine friendly RSS feed which affiliates can customize- very smart technology and great customer and affiliate support

$500 setup fee

$500 escrow commission

Monthly: 3% commission

Market to 500 high value affiliates

From this point in the discussion I tell the client: "Affiliate programs are marathons not sprints. Plan for the long-term, learn in the short term." If they are receptive to this approach then I know I can bring them a solution that matches their goals.
