I want out if affiliate program could help our web hosting business such as idevdirect.

Affiliate marketing is key. It will help you establish a word of mouth campaign, and this will be your greatest tool for obtaining new clients.

Its work nice but dont make it your primary marketing campaign route, you should look for other avenues as well.

As etechsupport2 said, don't rely on an affiliate program as your main marketing technique. If you don't know what you're doing you'll be wasting resources in no-time. Also, I suggest offering an affiliate program for a limited time. This will give clients some motivation for actively seeking out clients for you, and when supplemented with additional advertisement techniques, you can start observing trends. Perhaps an affiliate program, for example, will be alot more effective than other techniques you may persue.

agreed with what's already been said. don't forget that with an affiliate program it put a dent into your profits so you need to take this into account!

Affiliate program is good provided you use well defined script for affiliate program.

Not sure how effective is idevdirect :(

I agree, word of mouth is very good :)

Affiliate programs can certainly benefit you if done properly, you will of course need to market your affiliate program. Don't expect users to find it on their own and just join to bring you customers.
