I'm quite new to affiliate marketing, but from the research I have done (as a merchant), I have found affiliate marketing solution companies to be very pricey. I do not want them to find the affiliates for me, nor do I want something along the lines of clickbank etc. All I am after is an easy way of tracking which one of my backlinks (affiliates) the sale has come from, then I can work out the payments I owe to each one, and write the cheque out myself depending on the agreed terms. There has to be something out there, i'm sure there is, I just don't know what it is called or where to find it. Any help would be massively appreciated!
