This plugin lets you run your own affiliate program. Assuming
you are using mod_rewrite, it will check to see if the URL that referred
to your site, is an "affiliate". If it is, it will then set a cookie on the
visitors browser, so that when the add a link - the "affiliate username"
is stored in the "Links" table.
It has quite a few cool features, including:
-
Admin functions (including stats, add payment, edit
affiliate, make payments)
-
Affiliate signup page
-
Affiliate "members area" where they can view their
stats.
Please note, although mod_rewrite is required to track incoming
hits on "static looking" pages, you can achieve the same tracking features by
getting them to link to your site - via
http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/page.cgi .
It also allows you to put a bit of javascript on non-dynamic pages / non GLinks
pages, so that the referrals can also be tracked still.
Please note, this plugin is also part of the following "packages";
