If you don't mind my asking, do they name the affiliate or keep it discrete by using a code or something?
They publish the rank, geographical location (i.e. Detroit, Michigan) and $ :)

That seems like a great way to go - I think we should add conversion ratio to that as was mentioned by Greenguy earlier. Hope Steve Lightspeed doesn't mind me tapping his genius a little bit...

Has anyone ever seen one that's actually worth using?

Even if it's offered & does make pages that look decent, do you still just make your own galleries?

I'm helping a friend out with a revamp of their admin & they have this option in there & IMHO, I've never seen one that was worth the money the program paid to have it installed :D
I could see using one to build a free site and then going back in and customizing the site so it won't be a total cookie cutter.

What would you want to do to customize it accordingly?

banners? keywords? recips? thumb layout? templates? text?

I would suggest that you start with basic defaults that match the site/tour for fonts, colors, etc. I never know what the fonts are 90% of the time, even though I probably got 10,000 fonts on CD.The design gurus say to makes for a seamless transition from the gallery to the tour.

Another helpful item would be a nicely masked pic to include from the set.

Since you've got the archives to do it I'd say bi-weekly if they're getting downloaded a lot. Maybe run a script to track how many times a set gets download it and rotate it out after X number of downloads.

Interesting... we don't have that many affiliates right now so I would not have figured that many but the point is still well taken... How many downloads per set do you suggest?

Greenguy 2006-01-20 07:16 AM
I'd just leave the past zip sets up there (unless there's a problem down the road where they're getting downloaded too much)

You guys are sorta starting over, so it's gonna take a bit to get all the past webmasters back into the program & I'd want to have as much promo material as possible available.

Thanks - very true. Did you get my last email about the other stuff we were talking about? We were looking forward to hearing back and getting started asap.
