Wow Moore!
It’s such a comprehensive post! I liked it a lot. The part I liked the best is that you have reflected on all the variables as well as affiliate marketer would need to handle it. However, don’t you think that it would be really time consuming? Do you think that it can save some customers & money in long run?

@Ryan, I have no direct experience with PAP, but most recently, I’ve been hearing more and more of what Mike has been saying.

Good post. We were looking at getting Post Affiliate Pro and it seemed to have the most positive feedback but this last comment by Mike Law has me thinking otherwise. Anyone else have any experience with PAP? or any other suggest affiliate software?

@Mike, I’ve heard other people make the same remarks about the platforms you just mentioned. So far, I’ve heard good things about http://www.HasOffers.com, but I haven’t used their software myself, but maybe that can offer you features/functionality that you’re lacking.

But to go back what you were saying, many of the solutions available do now measure up to expectations (which is why I wrote this post). You might want to check out http://www.affiliate-software-review.com/ I’ve found it very useful in terms of gaging how software can meet different needs.

Is there any affiliate marketing software which you personally recommend? I have used iDevAffiliate which is very good entry level affiliate software however doesn’t support direct linking and has limited design customization. I am currently using Post Affiliate Pro 4 which is a nightmare to manage, clunky, buggy and support is extremely slow.

The only other two I know of are Myap9 which seems pretty good but development seems slow. DirectTrack is another however it is more for creating an affiliate network rather than running your own affiliate programme and is very expensive. It also doesn’t have the most positive reviews.

This lead me to OpenX however this is more for ad serving and would probably involve considerable development to turn it into a fully functional affiliate programme.

So at the moment our only solution is to develop our own solution however our developers are working on other projects and I need a solution ASAP for two of our clients as PAP is doing my head in!
