Affiliate Marketing Secrets

Hi there 🙂 I have been doing quite a bit of research on Washington’s Western Governor’s University and their BA/BS in Accounting today and have decided to apply and see what happens. However, I am a part-time college student supporting myself and was wondering if any other WGU’ers would be gracious enough to supply me with a “special affiliate code” or the refer-a-friend code. Not sure if this would benefit you, but if any of you out there might have a code handy.. I would be forever grateful!
Also, any open ended discussion about the BA/BS in Accounting through Western Governor’s University would be greatly appreciated!

I need to track some incoming traffic / links to my site.
I can do it with my current web analytics provider but I have to sort through the statistics myself.
I want to be able to track upto a few thousand referral links eg. www.example.com/?ref=referrer
I want to have them all sorted so that I can just look at how many visitors I recieved from that referral link and how many of those hits were unique etc. etc.
I would also prefer if this is emedable (<— is that even a word)
Like I said before this can be done with many different tracking sites but many of them show the entire incoming traffic for a specific link and I have to sort through each referral link myself.
I need it to be able to track 1000+++ different referral links to 10+ pages recieving 50000+ hits per month.
I need this strictly for time saving.
I hope this is enough information.

Facebook Advertising is part of Internet Marketing, that I understand. But there is a more niche type of marketing it is, and I can’t think of the name (want to know, so I can do some research, and reading about it). And secondly, what are some good sources to go to for promoting products/services with high referral fees, and pay outs?

We are looking for a piece of software that will make sure each affiliate is credited with each referral that they make. In other words, we have the main site built. So now how do we track which affiliate sent prospects to the site? Anyone know of such a software?

Was wondering if someone knows anything that allows you refer your customers i.e for adwords so you can get some revenue for referral?
Thanks in advance

I have been part of an affiliate program for a month. I was told that I was earning money for referrals – after about a month the site said had earned £2000 commission. When I asked to withdraw it to my back account they said that due to an error on their part the figure was wrong, and I’d only really earned £5.
I’d made financial decisions based on the figure their site gave me before, so now I’m in financial difficulty. I believe that they made a mistake, rather than lied to me, but their mistake is now costing me dearly. Surely they cannot pledge to pay an amount and then retract it? They’ve removed the ‘incorrect’ entries from the site so now it shows as me having only earned £5 from a single referral. After I contacted them all they offered is £40 store credit, which considering I’ve spent a more than twice that promoting my site (and by extension their site) believing I could afford it, is a bit of a joke.
I did try looking at the citizen’s advice bureau, but their site doesn’t help, and they aren’t answering the phone. I could only make an appointment if I took a day off work to walk into their offices and then another day off for the appointment itself.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
