X-Affiliate: full featured PHP affiliate software

Revision date: Aug 27, 2003

Affiliate marketing is one of the most powerful Internet Marketing tools available for the promotion of your products and services. This is a referral based marketing strategy (revenue sharing). Affiliate/Associate marketing has the attractive advantage that you only pay website owner commission after a visitor they have sent to your site makes a purchase.

We designed X-Affiliate module so that it allows you to build a network of affiliates easily. X-Affiliate can be very helpful as a part of a promotion campaign. The module could be installed over the X-Cart GOLD or the X-Cart PRO.

General points of Internet affiliate marketing:

  • You do not pay affiliate commissions until the actual sale is committed. You do not have to pay to inefficient partners who do not produce actual sales. It's like having hundreds of salesmen working on straight commission.
  • You do not buy advertising that does not work; your affiliates "test the waters" for you. You make banners, they place them on their sites, and you measure the results.
  • You get cutting edge benefits; Even if visitors don't purchase your product, there is a good chance that they will subscribe to your newsletter or bookmark/add to your favorite site.
  • Search engines will rank your site better. The more sites refer to yours, the higher your position will be.
