Hey Fellow Affiliate Marketers,

We are currently developing a web application service called Affclicks that is designed to greatly enhance the profitability for affiliates through both pay per click(PPC) and organic search.

The vision came about two years ago when we found ourselves running large PPC campaigns with little or no understanding of which keywords were driving sales and revenue and which were simply adding to our costs.

We found Google Adwords’ conversion tools to be exclusively geared towards the requirements of eCommerce merchants with no way for an affiliate to measure how effective their campaign spend has been once a visitor has clicked through to a merchant. Other products we sampled either proved to be ineffective in terms of gathering the required PPC/commission data to effectively determine profitability or were geared towards agencies as to be prohibitive for someone running a modest operation to gain enough value to justify the additional outlay. To us, creating a new web application seemed to be the perfect way to put our combined years of experience in developing web applications and running affiliate marketing campaigns to best use.

We started using Affclicks to analyse our own affiliate campaigns and managed to quickly improve the profitability of our PPC efforts by over 400%. This encouraged us to continue developing the application for a general release. Seeing such a dramatic improvement we were convinced that others would also benefit from the product. Unlike other PPC management systems, Affclicks has been specifically designed from the ground up by affiliates for affiliates. We are aware that that there are many different kinds of affiliate business models that put different emphasis on both ad spend and organic search traffic.

As Affclicks is rapidly taking shape we are interested in receiving feedback and suggestions from all kinds of affiliate marketers so we can fine tune our support for each model, and to this end, we have put together the following survey: http://www.affclicks.com/index.php?action=take_survey.

We will be inviting people who participate in the survey to help us shape Affclicks into a tool that we expect is going to be invaluable to all affiliates who seek to boost their bottom line. Please take the survey today to help us to tailor our application towards the specific needs of different affiliate marketing business models.

This information, as well as a mailing list signup is available on our front page (http://www.affclicks.com) We are looking forward to working closely with affiliates with an eye towards beta participation once this becomes available.

Thanks guys,
All the thoughts and feedback help, sorry we don't really have much to show just yet but working hard to get something out for some limited testing in the near future.
