    Hello everyone. I'm considering launching my own affiliate program with my own tracking software. There are plenty of things I don't know but I'll give it a try. I have no idea about tracking software or platforms. Could anyone suggest me a good one, actually the best one I can find? As well I would appreciate any sort of suggestions or advices before I start this quest.
    Thanks in advance to everyone for your help.

    You can also try post affiliate pro. And it will be better if you consider hosted solutions or affiliate networks.

    misterdonman,

    There really is no 'best' tracking solution for everyone. It depends on your needs, your budget and what type of products you sell. It also depends on if you want to go with in-house software or an affiliate network. (2 of the programs mentioned above as networks really aren't).

    There are lots of advantages to going with an affiliate network, but some companies prefer running their own program. So if you let me know your preference and what general category your products fall into I can make a recommendation. (Some networks are better for certain types of products.)

    Thanks,

    Thank you 5star for you help. I want to have an in house affiliate program. I was advised to do with idev software but unfortunately my host setup does not match the requirement, so I need to find another one. My company deals with the forex market. I really appreciate your help.
    Have a relly good day :):):)

    For inhouse software I was going to recommend idev or PostAffiliatePro. If you can't get PAP to work either, then another one I hear about occasionally, but don't know much about is GroundBreak.

    I was hoping you were going to say you were interested in an affiliate network because Shareasale is almost always my 1st recommendation as far as the best low cost network option.

    Thanks for you recommendations. I appreciate you help. Actually I was a merchant with Shareasale and ClickBank but I'm "ready" to have my in house program.

    Have a great day!!! :):):)
