Affiliate Page Pro Review

This week’s review is on a new software product called Affiliate Page Pro

Affiliate Page Pro is a software designed to make the generation of affiliate pages ridiculously easy. Which it’s good news for product owners because someone has finally filled an obvious lack in the majority of affiliate programs.

Product owners with affiliate programs (especially ClickBank) have been fighting with one arm tied behind their back, when they couldn’t contact their affiliates and especially when they didn’t provide them with the proper promotional tools.
Imagine you’re a big company with hundreds of sales people but you expect them to do everything themselves and you don’t/can’t talk to them at all. It would be ludicrous!

Ok affiliate pages make sense… but can’t you do this by yourself. You sure can.

“But personally I’m not a programmer and I don’t have the time and the resources to hire somebody else to create me an affiliate page which will do all this for me.”

Well Affiliate Page Pro will change all that because it makes it ridiculously easy to create an affiliate page within less than 15 minutes. And not just any affiliate page either - Affiliate Page Pro generates a professional affiliate page to…

1) Collect your affiliates contact details…

2) Automatically add them to your favorite autoresponder to follow them and send them announcements for competitions, more promotional material and general motivation.

3) Automatically embed the affiliates name and affiliate links within the promotional material so there are no more accidents such as, , being sent to the affiliates subscribers.

This software is very powerful and the best part it is so easy to use.
All you have to do is fill in a couple of fields, copy and paste your promotional material and it will automatically create an affiliate page for you to upload to your website.

The software runs on your PC but is only for Windows users (sorry Mac owners) and has it’s own installation program so it installs right in your start menu.

When you run the program it’s nothing fancy, no eye popping graphics here, all you see is a long form to fill out, which takes you step by step through everything you need to create your own affiliate page.

You start with your affiliate program, if you are using ClickBank all you need is your vendor ID, if not all you do is put your basic affiliate link and put #AFFILIATEURL# where the affiliate number or user name usually goes (eg. http://www.YourDomain.com/affid=#AFFILIATEURL#)

Then you fill in your autoresponder details, once again if you are using Aweber, GetResponse and 1stShoppingCart you fill in your normal form details. It works with an “invisible form” but if you are using something different you just put in your autoresponders email.

Ok, once that is done, you now have a series of fields for promotional material. It has the basic ones such as solo ad emails, forum signatures, email signatures, reviews and a few more and you can choose up to 5 of each. Then all you have to do is copy and paste your promotional material within the form fields and put #AFFILIATEURL# and #AFFILIATENAME# where you want the affiliates URL and name to appear.

From there you choose from 3 templates (very basic but all CSS, so you change the style.css file and it changes everything) and then you can preview your work and create it if you like what you see. The software then spits out a PHP file which you simply upload to your website and then link to it for all your affiliates to use to promote your products.

I especially like how it automatically saves your project to load up whenever you want but once you have your PHP file and styles.css you can then change it however you want (even if you don’t know PHP). All you have to do is open the file in a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) html editor.

Overall the software is very good and does just what it says it does. Very intuitive, very quick and easy to use. Once again it’s nothing pretty to look at but it does the job. The current version is not as flexible as I would like it to be, but if I really wanted to I could change the completed PHP file which is A LOT easier then starting from scratch.

Another thing that I didn’t like was that you can’t add your own general fields, you are stuck with using theirs. Hopefully they fix that in version 2, we will see.

So in conclusion if you have any type of product and you market it via an affiliate program then you need an affiliate page and the easiest way to create an affiliate page in less than 15 minutes is with Affiliate Page Pro

To Your Success,
