Additional Information:

There are 3 different ways to enjoy the benefits of KowaBunga Technologies’ flagship software MyAffiliateProgram (or MyAP):

• MyAP Complete – a complete affiliate management and tracking solution that includes:

• all MyAP technology

• the full affiliate recruitment and management services of their expert Team Affiliate staff

• premium exposure in the Kolimbo Open Affiliate Network

• MyAP Performance – pretty much the same as the services above without the “premium exposure”

• MyAP PRO – the mostly-do-it-yourself version of the technology and services and, as it happens, the subject of the rest of this review.

 
MyAP PRO promises “hands-free setup”  thanks to:

• a team of technicians implementing the MyAP tracking code on your site and ordering forms or systems

• a team of marketing experts creating your “Join Our Affiliate Program” page, including all FAQs, customized info on your program and your company, and an affiliate agreement for new affiliates to sign

• complete branding of your company’s logo, images, etc. in with all affiliate interfaces, email messages, and creatives

• automated uploading and orderly categorizing of all affiliate banners, text links and ads, datafeeds and all other marketing materials

The MyAP team will then perform strategic research on your company, your industry, and your competition.  They will then compose a 15 or more page report outlining:

• what (and how) the competition is doing

• the advantages you have over your competitor’s that will appeal to affiliates

• what to pay your affiliates

• how to design your relationship with your affiliates

• how (and where) to find affiliates to recruit into your program

• how to successfully get prospective affiliates to join

• what to do to motivate them to make huge sales

My Affiliate Program technology provides the following features:

• Direct Linking – direct all affiliate links to your site, allowing you to hold onto those precious link popularity gains

• Branded Domain

• 1st Party Cookies  - (when and where allowed) instead of 3rd party

• Pay Per Anything You Choose – pay for sales, clicks, leads, downloads, whatever you want; choose one or more for each product; set each affiliate’s rate individually

• Unlimited Marketing Materials – offer your affiliates as many banners, text ads, text links, Flash animations, buttons, and anything else you can come up with to promote what you have to sell

• Datafeeds and XML Feeds

• Automated Batch Processes – automate upload of sales, confirmations, chargebacks, and declined sales

• SKU-Based Integration – the software can be customized to work seamlessly with a SKU-based system

• Unique Customization – up to 5 hours of help with customizing fields, forms, systems, reports, and processes

• Easy to Use Tools & Resources – for both you and your affiliates’ complete management and tracking needs

• Complete Reports – providing acute details on each and every actiron your affiliates refer

MyAP PRO users will benefit as well from a listing in the Kolimbo Network designed by the MyAP team to showcase your affiliate program to your potential affiliates.  Plus, once this listing is live, MyAP will distribute an email announcement across the entire Kolimbo Open Network, highlighting your program alone and inviting affiliates to join right then and there – directly from the email notification!

You own your Affiliate Relationships completely, meaning you have unfettered access to all their recorded data and you can edit, change, restructure, cancel your relationship with each of them as you see fit.  You’ll regularly get nifty Kolimbo Scorecards for each affiliate, detailing (among other things): their WhoIs registry details, keywords and external links found on their domain, their network rating (including any red flags for spam or fraud or MyAP merchant complaints).

With your MyAP PRO purchase, you’ll get 1 million clicks + impressions + transactions per month.  You’ll get 50 Gigs of storage space on their servers too.  You’ll get a dedicated account manager to help you with any issues or questions that come up.  You’ll get access to live telephone and email tech support.  Even your affiliates will benefit from free Kolimbo support.

As mentioned at the head of this review, there are NO setup fees, NO network commissions, NO hidden fees.  KowaBunga encourages potential new clients to contact them for specific pricing information, so the data we have may be different for you, but it appears that MyAP PRO goes for $995.
