is this possible?

[pilchard]

What i want to do is track the click thrus i get, and the ones that signup, i want to reward with extra goodies (cashback/ebooks/vouchers/etc). Can i track these clicks and get the info i need to reward the correct users with/without an SSL certificate? Are there particular affiliate places that allow this?

is there any way to automate this, or would the reward incentives have to be allocated manually? I don't mind paying for software/coder if they can do what i want, i feel like i'm just banging my head against a wall here, i'm 99% certain it's possible, but just don't know how!

thanks for any help - even if it's just "you can't do this"

thanks in advance,

pilly

Of course it is possible.

PM me with exactly what you want and I will ask my php programmer for a quote.

If you can also give the URLs you want to add this tracking to, that will help.

If you are collecting any personal info like a name or email address, you need an ssl cert. If you are only giving them the added info of what they can download if they meet your criteria without having to give you any personal info, then you won't need an ssl.

Even if you don't need it, any website publisher should be data protection registered if customers can contact you via a form or email - just in case.

You're looking at a cashback style set-up, though you don't have to pay in cash.

What you need to do is give each visitor a unique ID, easy enough if your site has membership anyway, and when you present the affiliate link to the visitor you attach the unique ID to the link as an optional note (almost all networks support this in some way).
Now when an order is completed the note is recorded by the affiliate network and put in their report. You can load that report back into your site and it will know who to give rewards to.

This is the very simplest description of how a cashback site can work, and there are other methods and complications depending on the network, target market and reward type.
There are scripts you can buy which would achieve this - FSRevolution could do it using the points based option, but to be honest the only cashback / reward sites which do well are bespoke / heavily customised, and you won't get anywhere by being the same as everyone else. Even the heavily automated systems require a lot of babysitting and maintainence, so don't expect to have a site made and then be able to forget about it.
