Tracking Affiliate Programs

Hello all,
My first post on here, but I've gotten a lot of great information from a lot of people here.
I'm working on a startup and shortly after launch we got the adsense shaft. So we've moved on to affiliate marketing till we generate the expected traffic to move to direct.
I'm on multiple affiliate networks, mainly avantlink. My question is, who know how I can track all my affiliates and maybe some directs , through one platform. I'm trying to get set up and make everything as streamlined as possible. Reporting will be very important to me.
Thanks for the help.

PS: If anyone know of a great program to help me learn some valuable affiliate marketing tips and tricks, I'm open to suggestions.

    Do you have an idea of which traffic sources you are interested in learning?

    Google for prosper202
    I installed it and used it to track bing ads.
    There is a wso on this somewhere called penny per click 2.0

    It will show you the terms searched for when they clicked the link.

    It is 100% free, requires you have access via FTP to the host and the host has php5.? (sorry drew a blank) and another specific MySQL version.
    It's a popular thing so just google the term proper202 and requirements

    The site has recommended hosts but it works I can verify on godaddy using cpanel.

    Hope that helps you.

    If you have some budget, I would say to go with CPVlab or impreovely, I am not sure 100% though..

    Thanks for recommending Improvely. A lot of Warriors start out with Prosper202 since it's free (except the cost of a VPS to run it on, and your time to set up and maintain it). When you have some volume going or need more advanced tools and reporting, you can consider paid options like Improvely, Tracking202 and CPV Lab. CPV Lab seems to be the most recommended if you do a lot of PPV advertising, but I don't see much (or any really) PPV advertising outside of promoting a narrow set of affiliate products.

    For tracking is recommend starting with prosper 202 1.7.2 (free)
    Then once you get the hang of it and are making money look at cpvlab or voluum

    I may be a bit biased, but boberdoo.com does it all with great reporting too. Custom reports are even available if you need them.
