HostICan Affiliate Program V3

[lnxcode]

Hey guys,

I've been working on the V3 of the affiliate system, and I'm really excited to give you an approximate lanuch date for the new platform. The system will have more information for the affiliate such as:

1. Detailed Reports (reports about the order)
2. Better handling of paypal payments
3. Increased security, all content will be delivered over SSL
4. Streamlined payout process
5. Self coupon generator system
6. Complete automation of coupon tracking and awarding
7. Improved deeplinking
8. etc..

The list is pretty much endless.. but we will be fine tuning it after its live, for the last bits and pices and features that have been requested.

The approximate launch date is July 1st but maybe as late as July 15th.

Thanks for that.

1. Cookies - Already Implemented in the new system.
2. Coupon Tracking - Already Implemented in the new system.
3. IP Tracking - Added to the feature request list.

I've been working on the system for a little bit of time now, adding features and requests into it. I think the above suggestions are great, if anyone has more, keep them coming so we can make the affiliate system all it can be.

** Update **

I'm adding a new feature into the system where affiliates will be able to extend their own coupons giving greater control over the coupon process (issuing, removing, adding, modifying).

We are currently working on the RC1 version, there is still no ETA, but we are working on it as hard and fast as possible.

My Account feature will have:

- Current Commission structure
- Daily Earning Reports (via email)
- Ability to change the username
- Many other features

[lnxcode]

OK, so RC 1 is very close to getting done, and that it will also support WT transactions for us to be able to send WT with the users info on file

Your wish was our command, we added IP Tracking into V3.0.RC1 the system will have geographic location and IP tracking and commission awards based upon ip tracking.

There is some more information that is now available.

[addition] We added ability to "create" ad campaigns and "view" by geotracking where the user is from etc... *Very Cool!*
[change] we will convert from conventional user names to "IDs" for new affiliates ONLY!
[referrals] we will do some indepth tracking of referring (top 100) and give more information about each link (what will the detailed report consist of, we will let you know when we have an agreement with the in house programmers.

[lnxcode]

Just an updated on the affiliate system, that we are now polishing up the GUI, then we will start on the core checks to make sure that its all functional after our updates / bug fixes - after that we will do a couple more things and we should be good to launch it! yaay!

I will keep you posted on this

Yes, we will be doing beta testing with users soon. We just rewrote one of the most important modules to make it run smoother and cleaner without having so many queries. Which will speed it up and have less load.

The GUI is pretty much done, we will be fine tuning it and will get a version out for beta testers within the next couple of weeks. I will update you on it shortly.
