What to look for when choosing an internet marketing affiliate program. Internet offers some great opportunities when it comes to selling products online.

Profit margins are much higher when selling products online, something that leaves more money for marketing. That is why I urge you to promote virtual products, commission on virtual products is 40-60% compared to retail products of 3-15%.

1. Does the affiliate program give you commission on future sales or only the first sale.
2. Two-Tier programs increase your profit potential. Some programs give commission of referred affiliates.
3. The best internet marketing programs have great tools to aid you in your success. Affiliates should be provided with regular newsletters with information on what is working for successful affiliates. You should also be provided with keyword lists and marketing materials such as banners.
4. The higher the commission, the less customers you will need to refer. Affiliate programs that only give a few dollars demand that you have a lot of traffic.
5. Uniqueness, go for products that are unique. If your site is about music, don’t promote CD stores. Perhaps go for an e-book about how to make it in music. Electronic products have a way higher profit margin, thus greater commission.
6. Your affiliate provider must give you good statistics. You must know the % of clicks that turns into sales. In other words the convert rate. The amount of clicks (customers) that turns into sales.
7. Its a real bonus if a tracking cookie is set when the customer visit the site using your link. That way if the customer comes back at a later time you will still get a commission.
8. You should be paid at least once a month. And make sure to do a check on Google to see if affiliates have problems getting paid.

F.A.L.C features

It is a simple link cloaker without the advanced features of paid affiliate link cloakers. But it does have the most important features.

• mod-rewrite Creates nice urls like http://yoursite.com/recommends/linkname
• Link Click Counter Counts how many times a link has been clicked
• Easy to manage All-in-one Web 2.0 manage cloaked links page.
• Password Protected Access to manage the links is password protected.
• Easy to install Great effort has been made to making installation of the affiliate link software as easy as possible.
• Sub-domain Can be installed on a sub domain.

This cloaker is a standalone, it can be used with WordPress, but it is not integrated to the admin panel. For a link cloaker for WordPress I recommend Eclipse Link Cloaker

F.A.L.C does not hide (using an invisible frame) the actual URL once the user has been forwarded. Since this violates terms of service for some affiliate marketing programs. However there may be future option to do so, perhaps with a disclaimer that the user is leaving your site.

Future Improvements

Future development of the software depends on popularity. So if you would like to see future development spread the word and link to this page. To suggest a feature, post a comment.
