Nothing Can Come Out Of Your Affiliate Commission Software Until You Get Links Coming In

This is the internet after all, and no matter what the arrangement (pay per click, commission, begged or bartered), getting your affiliates to link to your products is Job1. And affiliate software for commission and link management is where it all starts and ends. There are dedicated analytics programs like Google Analytics or Visistat that can help you track the traffic once the links are setup, but there's a lot that goes into motivating your affiliates to put up those links, and make sure they do things properly to that customers will feel inclined to click through. UltraCart helps you with all of this by providing you with link creation, management and reporting tools that help you optimize your in-bound affiliate links.

To earn its keep, your affiliate commission software should include robust inbound link management tools like UltraCart's. For example, UltraCart lets you offer three formats for links that can help make your affiliates more comfortable linking to you, plus give you control over how and where the customer is led from the affiliate's site to yours.

Links = Afilliate Commissions = Software You Can Trust

UltraCart's affiliate commission software management wizard helps you juggle all of these balls without dropping one of them with these convenient features:

• UltraCart's link portion of it's affiliate software increases commissions by making it easy for your downstream affiliates to assign links to artwork or text; you can then setup controls ahead of time as to where the visitors will go, or if you prefer you can cede that decision to the affiliate - it's your choice
