Ask Shawn Collins: Should I Work with Link Connector?

I’ve been meaning to contact you regarding a company I’ve been researching for quite some time now. They developed an affiliate tracking and reporting solution called Link Connector, which I’ve become an affiliate. I was thinking of doing business with them but before I do, I wanted to see what you thought about them?

I’ve worked with a number of the affiliate solution providers, but I do not have any experience with Link Connector.

You can see a list of the companies I have personally used and would mention as viable options to run an affiliate program at http://www.affiliatemanager.net/asp.shtml

That is not to say that you should disregard Link Connector – just that I have never worked in their interface, and cannot provide you with a first-hand commentary on their technology, usability, etc.

I would suggest grabbing a copy of the “Report on Affiliate Management Software” by Dr. Ralph F. Wilson. This provides a view of all the various options out there to help you get the right technology for your program.
