Affiliate Program Tools

5 replies
Hi, I'm wondering if anyone knows of some great affiliate program management tools.

I am currently using Refersion for a Shopify website but would like to move away from Refersion but I'm finding it hard to find other tools that are similar for a fair price.

I only need to generate tracking links to give to affiliates so I can track their sales on my Shopify site then pay them their commission.

Could anyone recommend any?

Thanks!

    There are many tools such as:
    When running an affiliate program on a tight budget you inevitably face a challenging reality: good tools normally cost good money. You, on the other hand, may not necessarily have enough to invest into all of the paid tools you may need. Do not despair! There is a number of great tools out there that are available for your use at no cost. Of course, you do not want to depend only on the free ones (and have a number of robust ones that you do pay for), but it is useful to know which good ones are free.
    Here’s my alphabetical list of 10 such tools (all of which I myself use on a daily basis):
    1. Facebook — if you haven’t done so already, create a fan page for your affiliate program (and use it as a part of your affiliate communication channel)
    2. Forums — use affiliate marketing forums (like ABestWeb and Affiliate Summit’s forum in the US, or affiliates4u in the UK) to participate in the community and gently get the word about your affiliate program out
    3. Google — yes, the search engine! you can use it to find potential affiliates (when there’s no contact info on the prospect’s site, use Who.is to pull it up)
    4. Google Alerts — use it to monitor what competing affiliate programs are doing, as well as for recruitment of new affiliates
    5. Google Website Optimizer — use it for testing and optimization of your affiliate landing pages
    6. iTrademarkBidding — monitor affiliate violations of your paid search rules and restrictions
    7. Omgili — use it to monitor what’s being said about you affiliate program, your brand(s) and your competitors in forums and other online communities
    8. Quantcast — analyze the volume and type traffic your prospective affiliates get (for a better picture always use it together with Compete.com‘s data)
    9. Twitter — monitor it to spot prospective affiliates (use both Twitter Search, and tools like TweetDeck for streamlining the monitoring process)
    10. WordPress — if you don’t already have it, start an affiliate program support blog on it (I personally prefer the self-hosted solution; hence, the link to the .org site)
