Affiliate Program Suggestions

Dear Mr Affiliate Program Manager

Here are a few things that I would like for Christmas, I promise to be a good boy and go to bed before midnight.

1) A monthly email should be sent out with all the latest affiliate URL codes for all links including general urls, download urls and flash casino urls, if they exist. Affiliate systems seem to change regularly, however informing the affiliates is something that affiliate programs seem to take lightly, and periodically I have found url discrepancies, and of course in that situation, I as the affiliate is the only person losing out, because you still get the traffic and I don't get rewarded. I'm pretty sure that all webmasters would appreciate an automated email of affiliate url codes.

2) Improved statistics - as a marketer, I know the importance of demographic information. Though I can get site wide information from Alexa about my visitors, I would like to have demographic information about the visitors and players I send to Brands. This information is VITAL for a marketer to understand which demographic is going to which brand and allow me to target them more accurately and increase conversion. There's no point me marketing a page to a 25 year old male, if your brand is attracting 50 year old females for example. The information on your reports needs to help me, to help you. Most pertinent information at the very least should contain player information such as; player age or age bracket; player location/country/city; player sex.

3) Multi-User login with roles - Split Cashier/Payments section to the marketing materials section. Clearly this is a must for a company with several employees (outsrouced or otherwise). I do not want certain staff accessing payments facilities with the ability to change payment instructions, yet I DO want them to access marketing banners. Having to go do this myself is a drain on my time, and the result is that I do not bother to promote your brands.

That's all for now, all good things comes in 3s.

Here's the kicker, all these 3 things can be a one time job that is then automated! Think of the opportunity to leverage here and let's evolve together!

thank you

I am not sure if this is meant for public consumption of the affiliate managers, but if so, please let us know and a mod wil move it to the public section.

Yes, I did mean for all affiliate program managers to see this, I didn't know which forum to post it into!

Please put it in the place where most affiliate managers will read it!

thanks

When I built VIP Profits back in 02 it included all the above including monthly emails being sent out with stats/tracking, in-depth multiple tracking stats and campaigns and ability to create all log ins. It would come as a surprise if several programs here don't already offer this as I did it 8 years ago.

Agree on 1. + 2. but couldn't agree more on 3.

That would really help
