Anyone have a good way to track calls to affiliates? I know some networks do it, but we run an in-house program...

Thanks!

You could give a unique promo code to each affiliate and request it over the phone. You could also assign a different 1-800 number for each affiliate that drives enough traffic to justify doing so.

Thanks, Mike. I'm thinking we'll end up doing the promo code deal. I was just wondering if there was anything else that might be easier...

Have you heard of Mongoose Metrics?

We recently started with ImpactRadius and I have been very impressed with them so far. They do traditional affiliate tracking, for about $20 + $.10 per minute or so you can get a new 800 number to track inbound phone calls.
