Help us find the right Affiliate Management Software please.

Hi,

We are about to start our own Affiliate program offering to pay our affiliates a very nice fee for a sale. This would be a 2 tier program.

Now ... we want to benefit not only from sales but for Search Rankings for the links that affiliates will add.

What software will help us manage our own affiliate network as well as provide the "naked links (clean links)" to our site?

I looked into LinkShare and few others, but I'd like to hear suggestions from people who actually used some of these tools.

Thank you.

Hi there,

Keep in mind your focus should be on paying affiliates, not in using them for free, to increase your link pop. They really don't like that and want to partner with you to get paid for sales not to generate free advertising.

With that in mind the programs that offer straight links that I recommend are Link Connector, FusionQuest and Myap also has a option to use direct links that you can add. Most of the options are reviewed here:

Hope this helps and best of luck!
