If that's so, why would I offer a tool that allows a simplified way to join my competitor's programs? There's even advertising for my competitors' programs within the software!
With that in mind, I would like to see a hardcoded version that we can brand with our program's creatives and take out that "Join Programs" button. Throw in some admin functions as suggested above and this would be a great tool.
I see this as more of a software that TMM need to push on their own, thereby driving affiliate traffic accross the sponsors that advertise within the software. Similar to Stats Remote, but as you mentioned, much more than that. Just my  , I think NATS program owners are confused as to what exactly this software can do for them. |
We will be adding the admin features in later on.
The program will bring you far more webmasters than it may cost you. If your program is solid and puts up good #s there is no reason for someone to leave you. This is just offering you more exposure. You don't need to force/tell your affiliates to use it. It's like saying "why would I post on GFY when there are other affilaite programs there". There is plenty of room in the affiliate program industry. This is helping all NATS programs gain a bit more of an edge by making it easy for the affiliates to join/use their programs. If you would like to opt out of the AA program you of course can.
The branded version is an interesting idea. I will have to talk it over with Charlie and Fabian.
