Hi , I've been asked by my boss to work on a simple affiliate program for our portal. I do understand the entire concept of affiliate programs etc but technically I'm stuck. So far our basic plan is that our affiliates send out emails to potential customers who then if interested sign up and pay for their membership on our portal. I'm kinda stuck on how to track the information of visitors and visitors who sign up with respect to whether they were referred or not and if they were referred then by whom. Initially I worked on the idea of affiliates sending out preset emails containing a link to the website with the affiliates id included in the url as a parameter. But thats only plausible in situations when a customer clicks on the link in the email and continues to sign up from there. I mean lets say the customer visits the site and doesn't sign up immediately only to signup a few days later - I don't seem to think of any way to track this information as to whether the customer came through a referral or not. Any ideas out there guys :D
