Question for all affiliate marketers (no trolls, srs biz)

[cit1]

I am in the mix for creating an affiliate center for one of my sites. I need some suggestions on what features to add to entice affiliates. Some of the features (login requried) on the chop block are:


Affiliate Link Embedder
Pre-genertated Keyword Lists
Banners of various sizes
Keyword Generator
Statistics View and Traffic Tracking
Email notifications of additions (lets affiliates stay ontop of new niches available)


What are features you like from your affiliate programs, or think would be a good addition?

Campaign management if you havent already implemented that into the statistics and traffic tracking.

If possible, a system to allow affiliates to cobrand is always a plus.

I'm not sure what type of offers you're running, but more then 1 type of option would be nice for commission. Like % of recurring every month, or a 1 time commision on the sale.

Also a direct pay pal payment would be nice rather then check.

The affiliate program is actually ran and paid through the merchant.. I don't have much control over the actual payment processing

The site is just one product basically.. but things I am looking to add in the Affiliate Center are tools that would help them with their marketing efforts, but also features that would entice them to join the affiliate program such as affiliate link embedding and keyword generators..

Premade scripts to help your affiliates. Banner rotation scripts, link tracker scripts, maybe customer banner maker.

Custom banner I was kicking around, I will have to yodel at pulaskeet about that since he is the jpeg hack masta, should be pretty easy to implement

You should check out some affiliate networks that use direct track. DT has a section to post useful items like the ones i mentioned and alot of them use that section to post useful items.

Redundant? It should give you some ideas though.
