w3roi for affiliates, and open beta soon

Initially I was going to target w3roi (in terms of what features it has and how I market it) to ecommerce sites — sites that sell something and need to track the conversions from their advertising. It’s working great for conversion tracking on mine right now.

But why would I do that when selling to affiliate marketers is what I know best? How stupid can I be? I know what sites to advertise on, what forums to be active in, and how to write copy for them. I just sold them over $140,000 in WP Review Site licenses.

So I’m going to spend some more time on w3roi to make it perfect for both ecommerce sites and affiliate marketers. That means reorganizing the UI and supporting the features necessary to track affiliate sales:

• Optional two-part tracking of ads to landing pages, then landing pages to affiliate offers
• Automatically creating appropriate tracking links for the specific affiliate network being used
• Import/synchronization of sale/commission data to tie affiliate sales back to ads and landing pages

But I don’t want to be the only eyes on these reports while I add all this, so I’m going to try to open up new account creation over the next few days, and let anyone that wants to use w3roi do so for free.

w3roi doesn’t require you redirect all your ad clicks through the site to track them, so even if there’s a bug or the tracking site were to go down, every single ad click makes it to your destination page. Tracking your advertising with w3roi is risk-free.

More details on availability will be posted on this blog and e-mailed to those that contacted me about the beta earlier.
