I recently started working on a product to develop and sell online. Part of our marketing approach was to develop an affiliate program to build up and help promote the product, for obvious reasons. I personally have been searching around for various affiliate network scripts and software, both free and paid. I came upon HasOffers.com, which is a white label affiliate site. Since my product is still in its beta stages and a week or so away from a launching point, we’re avidly looking to make an affiliate system our own.

A white label is basically a company which provides a service you can ’skin’ to make look like your own. The benefit is they take the bandwidth, upkeep and development side of things. You are left to make it look like your own service and hit the ground rolling.

I was looking for something to easily integrate into my shopping cart. HasOffers.com does not do this, although it offers easy integration solution through 1px images and link variables. The nice thing is they simplified the templating process. With a few minutes you can have your own logo and coloring branded throughout your personal affiliate site. The ease of use is very web2.0 in nature. Everything can be navigated through without any problems and the process of managing your affiliates is done without any hassell.

Overall the navigation of the affiliate panel is easy to do and the setup from registration to launch can probably be done within one hour. I will be testing the usefulness of HasOffers.com against another affiliate program over the coming weeks and have a better idea of what will be successful in affiliate marketing. Right now, I will say, if you want a free affiliate software solution, get HasOffers.com. If you want more of everything and the ability to fully integrate it with your own site, then get a paid solution. For a product which is currently free, I can safely say it is excellent.
