Hi everyone,

I'm looking to setup an affiliate program with our company that will allow users to join the program and also track referral signups from them. Does anyone know of a free script or even a paid software that is well worth the time?

Thanks!

Try having a look at JROX and iDev. ;)

You can contact Affiliate Guide - really nice people. You can also view resources on their site.

idevaffiliate works nicely and is supported just as nicely, in our experience.

If you want it for your hosting business I think WHMCS has that feature inbuilt checkout http://www.whmcs.com/fullfeatures.php

Affiliate program works if you've a popular brand.

I've been very happy with JROX's JAM (http://jam.jrox.com/features/).

i'll have to check out each opinion. Basically the most important part would be to track our customer's who have referred people. Would their be some sort of code snipet inserted in their site? I would presume so, in one way or another.

Another important part would be:

Having the client the ability to login to their affiliate panel to see how many people they have referred and the amount of money they have made.

Thanks for all the opinions i'll have to check them all out. But let me know if there is one particular program that out weighs the others.

Thanks,

What you're looking for is probably offered by all affiliate software; it's the basics of affiliate management. Yes, the affiliates put their tracking code in their links, and/or images, and your software will let them log in and track their referrals.

i would go with http://jam.jrox.com/features/

You might want to look into PostAffiliate Pro 3.. Have heard good reviews about them..

I keep hearing things about jrox, should i go with them?

I use the built-in WHMCS affiliate system and it works great.. If you're in the hosting industry I definitely recommend it..

Have you ever considered using a 3rd party solution such as ShareASale.com ?

I personally prefer third party solutions so they handle the cutting of cheques and all payments.

I don't know if it's an option for your product but some processors have affiliate systems built in. Clickbank has a decent sized network, CCBill has a huge amount of affiliates, Digital River has something akin to an affiliate partner program for software and so on.

Anybody used JVManager v1 ?
Seems popular although there is a new very expensive upgrade now called Fatasos.
