Hi

I am putting the finishing touches to my affiliate programme and am trying to figure out what affiliates really want.

Hopefully I can make my affiliate programme stand out from others. Please feel free to add your suggestions.

I think they base their choice on a number of factors, besides basing it on the commission they can get per sale.

I think the crutial things are:

They want to ensure or reduce the chance of the customer going direct without going through there link.

They want a fairly unique / exclusive product so every it is not available from every website they visit.

Some of them would like the option to drop ship the product so they "own" the customer and the product is just shipped on their behalf.

Let me know if any of you can think of others.

Usually they want a good commission and an excellent referral system where they can earn free product for getting others interested.

Thanks for the advise. I have been trying to develop a unique affiliate program. Where affiliates can sell a customized product.

I would appreciate any feedback good or bad to help me develop this successfully.

does anyone happen to know any good (preferably free) affiliate scripts with multiple referal levels?

Not free but the best program I know of is Ultimate Affiliate, by Ground Break (groundbreak.com). I think it is more than worth the cost, which isn't too expensive.

I have heard good things about clixgalore.com. Again not free but no monthly fees
