What is the best Affiliate Program?

I am looking to offer an affiliate program on my site, but am not sure if there is a good MOD already out there that is free or if I need to purchase one somewhere.

If you have any experience with this type of marketing with Zen-Cart 1.3.7 please let me know your thoughts.

My requirement are pretty standard I believe:

Must be able to track affiliate sales on all items
Must be able to configure commission % by affiliate
Although I do not plan on using two-tiered it would be nice to have
Would like to be able to provide each affiliate with a custom skin (template) if they desire
Would need standard reporting via Admin to be able to determine monthly check amounts

Thanks in advance.

The Partners Page lists a description of an Affiliate program but no links to any site?

Clicking on the image located above the "Build an Army of Sales Affiliates" text and inside the "Affiliate Programs" fieldset, should take you to the JAM site.

Nice pickup. :wink:

The "Build an Army of Sales Affiliates" text is now a link but I don't see any image in FF and yet I do in Mozilla? Really Odd.

ARGH! Rob- do you have an ad-blocker on? Most of those images are hosted remotely.

Re: What is the best Affiliate Program?

No, I don't Kim, which is what makes it so odd.

In my FF v2.0.0.4, I do not see the following images for:
Affiliate Programs
Search Engine Optimization
Accounting
Logo Design
nor the rotating Logos - shown on the right above the PayPal image

Run scripts Globally is turned ON and Popup Blockers is OFF.

Must be a personal problem I'll have to look into. :wink:
