I sell a diet/fitness software program called Fitness Assistant on my http://www.x3msoftare.com site. It costs $49.95 and I pay out 40% comission on all refered sales($20). Now, I've made a script which allows webmasters to place "plain links" to my site and still get the comission. My script checks who's the http referrer, and places a cookie and saves the IP in a database. Later when the customer decides to buy, my script adds the affiliate ID to the checkout page. Thus way I get plain links from my affiliates (good for SEO). My affiliates place links which do not reveal they receive a comission The script tracks cookies/IPs for 1 full year. Those of you who do health/fitness sites can try to see how's my conversion rate Payments are done by share-it, and include wire transfers and checks. For those of you who run affiliate programs, you may try using a script that allows plain URLs instead of the long affiliated ones More details: http://www.x3msoftware.com and http://www.x3msoftware.com/affiliate-program.htm
I wish all affiliate programs worked this way... What is your opinion of trying to promote your fitness software on an alcohol recovery/addiction type site? Is this a good match.. Do mostly women or men buy this software?
Dunno if it is a good match. Probably not. It converts best with people with weight loss goals and muscle/strength building goals.
