Post Affiliate Pro 4 (PAP) is one of the top selling affiliate tracking software products today. It is developed by Quality Unit, a software development company based in Slovakia. It is rated highly by a lot of affiliate marketers around the world. Let us take a look at some of its key features.
Tracking Facility
Post Affiliate Pro 4 supports Flash cookie tracking, standard cookie tracking, and IP tracking. So, unlike most other affiliate tracking software, it can track even cross browser sales very effectively. What this means to you is that even if a user clicks your affiliate link in one browser and places the order in another browser, PAP will be able to track the sale without any hassles. This is one of the main reasons why it is rated highly by many.
Customization
Post Affiliate Pro 4 gives you complete control over your affiliate program. You can create an appropriate theme for your program, customize templates according to your needs, and define commission settings using any number of tiers you want. You get to set the minimum payout for affiliates, the payment date, and payout gateways. PAP's affiliate panel, in particular, is very flexible. You can add content by creating new sections and pages. You can also link to other websites. This is one feature that most people find very useful.
Customizable Links
Post Affiliate Pro 4 has a revolutionary feature called Direct Link
, which allows your affiliates to link to your website through a direct link which does not contain any parameters. In other words, you can say goodbye to standard redirect links like http://www.yoursite.com/affiliate/scripts/t.php?a_aid=1&a_bid=2 and start using direct links like http://www.yoursite.com.
The software also allows you to customize your affiliate links to make them search engine friendly. If you have a large number of affiliates promoting your products, these SEO friendly links can improve your site's ranking considerably.
Plugins
Post Affiliate Pro 4 offers a wide range of plugins that can help you manage your affiliate program effectively. The developers of the software come up with new plugins regularly to meet the constant demands of customers all over the world. If you need a new plugin for a specific function, you can get in touch with them and place a request as well.
Split Commission
Post Affiliate Pro 4 has a unique feature called SplitCommission
which allows you to pay everyone who is involved in making a sale rather than paying just the first referrer or the last referrer. If someone visits your site and purchases something after visiting two or more of your affiliates' websites, you can choose to pay them all instead of paying just one of them. Since everyone involved in the sale is rewarded, it motivates your affiliates to promote your products or services even more aggressively.
Fraud Protection
Post Affiliate Pro 4 has what they call GeoIP feature which helps you prevent click fraud, sales fraud, and signup fraud. You can detect any such fraud easily and decline commissions for those transactions.
Promotion
Post Affiliate Pro 4 offers a wide range of promotion materials for your affiliate program. You can use image banners, text link banners, flash banners, peel banners, HTML banners, and zip banners to promote your program. The USP of the software, however, is the Rebrand PDF feature. It helps you create rebrandable ebooks for your affiliates easily.
All you need to do is write an ebook, add predefined replacement constants, convert it into a PDF file, and upload it to PAP. When your affiliates download this file, the Rebrand PDF feature automatically replaces the replacement constants with real values and rebrands the ebook in no time. So, each one of your affiliates will get his own rebranded ebook which contains his affiliate links. This is a very innovative feature that is not available in most other affiliate tracking software programs.
