Outstanding Affiliate Manager

About a year ago, I needed to find some Affiliate Management Software for a client. They didn’t have a huge budget and wanted a fair amount of features.  So, as usual, I began my search with the various Open Source offerings that were out there.  I was not impressed. Then I moved on to the commercial offerings. While there were several out there, they either had a monthly fee, charged by the affiliate or were prohibitively expensive.

I easily looked at 25 different packages between the Open Source and Commercial offerings and was about to toss in the towel in frustration when I found iDevAffiliate.  It had everything I was looking for and more:

  • Affordable (Starts at $99.99)
  • No recurring fees (You buy it ONCE. You host it. You own it.)
  • Multiple ways to pay
    • Per Sale -Flat Rate
    • Per Sale -Percentage
    • Per Click
    • Per Lead
  • Multiple Payout Levels (up to 100 Per Payment Style)
  • Fully Configurable (lots of options)
  • Robust Marketing Support For Affiliates
    • Add unlimited text ads for Affiliates to use
    • Add unlimited banner ads for Affiliates to use
    • Add unlimited Flash banners for Affiliates to use
    • Add unlimited HTML ads for Affiliates to use
    • Add video training
    • Add PDF advertising materials
    • Page Peel Ads (this is really neat)
    • Sample Ad templates in PSD format
  • Multiple Language Support
  • Outstanding Affiliate Interface
    • Create and Track Campaigns
    • Create and Track Keywords
    • Traffic Logs and Statistics
    • Conversion Ratios
    • Export Tracking Data
  • Interfaces to and works with a HUGE number of shopping carts and payment gateways
  • Pay Affiliates via a Built-In interface to PayPal or via Hard Checks
  • Optional Module to Export Payment Data to QuickBooks

Needless to say, I was very impressed. When I had a look at the online demos, I was sold. I recommended that we go with it and the client agreed.

PLUS – Outstanding Support

Setup was easy and went without a hitch.  Shortly after we began using the program, we noticed something amiss. I e-mailed support and was expecting the typical two day delay.  I got a response later the same day.  They pointed out that it was a configuration issue and told me exactly what I did wrong and how to fix it. One the very first try.

About a month later, I found something else that looked amiss. It was a relatively trivial item about the way the graphic charts were displayed to the Affiliates.  Again I e-mailed support and they confirmed it was an issue. Within two days, they had developed a patch and sent it to me and all was well.

I don’t know about you, but my feeling is that there is a LOT of software out there.  To me, what separates the good from the bad is how they handle support.  I’m happy to say that the folks at iDevDirect do an OUTSTANDING JOB!

Oh, and one other thing I discovered is that this software has built-in fraud detection and other outstanding tracking  features to insure accuracy.
