I am working on an idea for a website that could have a fairly robust affiliate program that has numerous levels of payout... almost a mlm type of thing. Ideally people would sign up and then they tell someone, who tells someone who tells someone, etc. and each person who signs up gets a special id that tracks them so they receive payment. My question: Is there a script or service that can track this sort of thing and if so who has it? Also... are there any sites out there doing something along these lines (multi-level payouts) ? Anyone to stay away from? Any advice or direction is appreciated. Tks
I recently saw the VM Affiliate SW, which is an extention for the Joomla/Virtuemart content management system: http://www.globacide.com/ Looks good to me, but since I'm new to this, I'm still trying to figure out if you can do this as an individual site or if you need to join some affiliate network in order to get sites to sign up.
