Hi,

After a LOT of work, I'm finally pleased to announce the release of our latest plugin, Affiliates.

This plugin lets you run your own affiliate program. Assuming you are using mod_rewrite, it will check to see if the URL that referred to your site, is an "affiliate". If it is, it will then set a cookie on the visitors browser, so that when the add a link - the "affiliate username" is stored in the "Links" table.

It has quite a few cool features, including:

• Admin functions (including stats, add payment, edit affiliate, make payments)
• Affiliate signup page
• Affiliate "members area" where they can view their stats.

Please note, although mod_rewrite is required to track incoming hits on "static looking" pages, you can achieve the same tracking features by getting them to link to your site - via http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/page.cgi . It also allows you to put a bit of javascript on non-dynamic pages / non GLinks pages, so that the referrals can also be tracked still.

Price: $250 [ details ]

This plugin is part of LinksSQL ULTRA Package PRO. If you only own the ULTRA Package (not PRO), and would like this plugin - then an upgrade fee of $150 can be arranged (instead of $250 for the plugin seperatly :))

Screenshots

I've setup a load of screenshots here:

A demo can be arranged (just email or PM me). I won't put it up live to everyone though, as the best stuff is found in the admin panel - and I don't have a "demo" version of GLinks 3.2, so can't setup a version that will restrict important functions (i.e settings, etc)

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Cheers
