Since early this year, I’ve been quietly adding new features into easyClickmate. Here’s a quick summary of the new features:

1. Automatic Support for Google’s Adwords Tracking ID for Affiliates.

Your affiliates may have requested that you embed his or her Google Adwords tracking ID on your thankyou pages. This is manageable if you have a few requests from your affiliates.

However, if you have 100 affiliates requesting that you add their tracking IDs, it’s just not feasible to add the individual tracking codes on your thankyou pages.

Now, you no longer have to manually add the Google tracking ID. EasyClickmate will automatically embed the affiliate’s Google ID for you. All you need to do is insert a code snippet on your thankyou page, i.e.

<?php include_once(“ecm_trackID.php”); ?>

More details on page 11 in the “ecmPro Integration Guide”.

2. Intuitive Affiliate Link Generator.

Your affiliates just need to login, select the product they want to promote and click on the ‘Get Link’ button. Their customized affiliate URL will then appear.

See the screen shot below:

3. Advance Affiliate Link Generator.

The Advance Affiliate Link allows your affiliates to define their own landing page. For example, if you have written a case-study (or a non-sales pitch article) - your affiliates can decide to link to that page instead of the usual sales page.

See the screenshot below.

*note: As the vendor, you can choose to enable or disable this feature. If you disable it, then the affiliate won’t see this option in the affiliate area.

4. ClickBank Gravity Booster

One of the ways to rank higher in the ClickBank marketplace is to have a high “productivity score” - essentially a function of the various factors, one of which is the “Gravity”

A higher Gravity will help boost your Market Place rankings. In plain English, it basically means that if there are more affiliates promoting your products (i.e. more affiliate sales), your product gravity will be higher in the ClickBank market place. (more info here)

EasyClickMate 2009 Edition (version 8.5) allows you to insert multiple ClickBank IDs (your own affiliate IDs) into the admin panel. See the screen shot below:

IF no other affiliate ID is detected (i.e. the traffic to your sales page is from your own promotion), easyClickmate randomly select one of your ClickBank IDs in the sales process. This will result in an ‘affiliate sale’ (you are your own affiliate) and therefore, increase the product gravity in the marketplace.

This function has been extensively tested, if an affiliate ID is detected, easyclickmate won’t use your ID. Your affiliates need not worry about losing their commissions because their affiliate IDs will take precedence over yours.
