Affiliate marketing basic question

by Rationality
6 replies
so this may seem funny to you, but I still don't know which system should I use/implement to track which affiliate link has been clicked from who and what actions did the customer do on my site?

I mean WHO or WHAT tracks the CPA affiliate systems?

I want to place a banner on some sites.
Then people will click the banner and enter my site.
Every time a person fills out a contactform, or watches a video,
my affiliates should receive a certain amount of money.

What system should I connect my site and those links to, that will track all this and give me and my affiliates statistics?

Its about Bulgarian sites, by the way.

There will be banners and CPA method of paying. There is nothing to sell on my site.

Thank you for understanding

    If your looking for a solid tracking system for your affiliate network I suggest using either Direct Track or Has Offers. Direct Track has been around for many years with a solid track record. Has Offers is the newer one of the group, but has all the bells and whistles.

    Thank you.
    So, do you think it will work with CPA and Bulgarian websites?

    +1 on directtrack, a lot of the cpa networks still use them. the ones that don't have in house tracking now anyway. a few years ago that was the one almost all of them used.

      Yes, Direct Track does have international capabilities. You should reaching out to them and see what they can do for your business.

    You can also set up your own ad server. This way you can not only track the ads and impression, but split test and change the ads as they lose or win a split test.

    All within the ad server. No going to the site.

    HasOffers is very cost effective. However, I've also used CAKE and actually found it to be way more user friendly/simple. It still had a fair # of features and AMAZING support staff. HasOffers gets pricier if you want phone support. Also - call me crazy but I have always had Affiliates question if their clicks/conversions were being tracked correctly in HO. To the point where I lost some...I never had an issue with Cake though.
