WebGenie's Site Sponsor sets
up an affiliate tracking system. It is well established that
an affiliate system can increase your web site traffic without
investing too much in advertisement cost.
WebGenie 's Site Sponsor (SSP) is an affiliate program
setup utility that allows your affiliates to register and
obtain a cut and paste code to place on their sites. Visitors
from such affiliate links will be tracked by a cookie and
a sale will be related to the affiliate site where they
came from.
WebGenie's Site Sponsor offers you a cost-effective way
to increase the number of your advertisement banners, by
giving an incentive to small to medium web site operators
to display your banner on their sites in return for an affiliate
commission
It goes without saying that, other things being equal,
sales are directly proportional to advertisement. This is
no more evident than on the Internet where the volume of
sales follows the number of visitors to your web site.
Of the various ways to increase the visitor counts to your
web site, arguably none is better than third party affiliate
links WebGenie's Site Sponsor (SSP) offers you a cost-effective
way to increase the number of your advertisement banners,
by giving an incentive to small to medium web site operators
to display your banner on their sites.
There is no better incentive than a financial reward for
others to display your banner or link on their sites. The
reward can be based on click-throughs or the actual sales
achieved. SSP is designed to make it possible for you to
automate that process.
The basic operation:
You invite your web site visitors, who have web sites of
their own, to register as your affiliates. A CGI residing
on your server registers and gives them the necessary instructions
to display your banner on their site with a link to your
web site.
Every-time a visitor to the affiliate's site clicks on the
banner to come to your site the click will be recorded on
your server. Also, a cookie will be used to uniquely recognize
the visitors if and when they make an online purchase from
you at some future time.
You give a commission or another form of reward to your
affiliate sponsor based on click-throughs or sales.
Periodically you can go through all records to reward your
sponsors with their credits. This process can be automated
via a CGI that runs at a particular time (say, midnight)
every day.
