Keeping track of all your aff. programs...

Any suggestions?

[2oddSox]

As time goes by it seems the list of affiliate programs that I've joined gets longer and longer. Each of them with their own convoluted URL's, payment dates, login pages with different usernames and passwords, and so on...

Before I head down the path of trying to knock together something that will do the trick, does anyone know of a software program that helps make it easy to keep all these details in one place? One-click logins would be superb also.

Thanks.

I just store everything in a huge word folder. When i need to look something up i search for a domain name for ftp info or search for the affiliate program name if i need a username and password. Not the best method but it works. I think having it set up in excel would probably be more efficient.

At the moment I only work with a few domains and keep all the info in one spreadsheet.

I am curious to know how the bigger AM's keep track on over 100's domains that are perhaps running multiple programs?

What about a spreadsheet and using a tab alphabetically at the bottom for each merchant program? (don't laugh if this is ridiculous, I'm not actually an affiliate!)

I use a large spreadsheet that's organized as follows:

-one tab for every site that I am promoting. It lists every sale that I have generated and links it to the campaign that I'm running (if the program gives you that information)

-one long sheet to display all my advertising campaigns, the cost of each campaign, the click throughs, and the total sales volume generated (cross-referencing the other tabs)

-one summary tab which displays a mix of all the important information in one location. once I update all the other tabs, I just go to the summary tab and I get a good overall summary of how all my efforts are doing

Works well for me :)

Always keep you old data somewhere, referring back to previous work is essential.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm thinking I'll probably shy away from a spreadsheet system because I know what I'm like - in no time it'll be as messy and as complicated as the, ahem, 'system' I have now.

I guess I'll see if I can cobble something together to do what I want.

Thanks again.
