Hey, I am researching affiliate tracking technologies. I am doing a non-adult product (ecommerce) that is promoted heavily to the adult market and mainstream markets. I am familiar with HasOffers and CakeMarketing (who is expanding their focus to the adult sector). I've also heard that back in the day NATS and MPA3 were big, but not sure now. What do you like/dislike and why? I want top-notch tech, lowest total cost of ownership, good reporting and a great experience for affiliates. Thanks! JB
I use OSI Affiliate Software http://www.osiaffiliate.com and I like it because it is easy to use and configure and the tracking is accurate. I tried a few other solutions and it was not as accurate and it took too much time to setup.
I bought mine rather cheap from this company: http://www.affiliateproscript.com/ Cons: You will have to change the way some things are phrased (not clear / good English). May not work with PHP 5.4.x and up, but works fine in PHP 5.2.x Since the software is only $50 it's worth the hassle IMO.
From our experience we can recommend you Has-offers. It's a very user-friendly platform with lots of helpful features for affiliates. But you might also want to check Linktrust and Postaffiliatepro which we've heard are proficient as well as Has Offers.
if you need track NATS and others platforms use Nifty Stats http://www.niftystats.com/ there is a best way for you.
