A Quick Tour

PHPMyAffiliates allows you to:

• Categorize Links - You can add, edit and remove as many categories as you like. Categories can be based on ad size, topic or just about anything you can think of. For example, if you have a space on your site for 120x240 size banners, you can simply create a new category called 120x240 Banners and add only banners with the appropriate dimensions. This makes it easy for you to keep track of which banners to allow on any given part of your site.
• Specify Advertisers - Advertisers often make changes to their program, pull out entirely or even make mistakes when providing links. By building up a list of your advertisers and tagging your links accordingly, you are able to quickly make adjustments to any link code from any advertiser.
• Add Links - Once you have decided on your categories, PHPMyAffiliate provides a simple interface for you to paste/write in links, assign a category and expiry date and add this info to your database - quickly and efficiently.
• Search Links - You can search through your database of affiliate links by category, advertiser, date added or expiry date. This allows you to quickly locate any link that may need adjustments
• Edit Links - PHPMyAffiliate provides both broad spectrum and fine-grained control over your links. Naturally, you are able to edit the actual link code for each individual link as well as deal with the expiry date if needs be.
• Link Administration - Over time deals or promotions expire and it is necessary to clean up your database to avoid clutter. Whenever your database containes expired links you have the option to remove them at the click of a button. You can also choose to remove all no-breaks and/or set all links to open in a new browser window.

PHPMyAffiliates is proud to announce the OrangeLinks Link Generator Plugin for the Performics Network. This script allows users to automatically generate text or image links and upload these to your database at the touch of a button. It is available for download in the members' section.

About PHPMyAffiliates

PHPMyAffiliates began in early 2007 as an in-house development project to help manage the affiliate advertising requirements for InfoBuoy.

The sheer number of links that were required and their administration meant that a way had to be found to simplify the process of adding links and minimize the amount of time that was required to update and organize them.

Out of this came a few prototype versions, some of which died out along the way, but the current incarnation maintained its simplicity and expedience without short-changing on power. Hence it was adopted as the solution.

The decision to release the software for free was taken in May 2007 in the hope that community participation would allow the InfoBuoy developers to create a better product for use by InfoBuoy itself as well as the wider community.

PHPMyAffiliates' mission is to allow businesses everywhere to monetize their hard earned traffic in an elegant and simple manner.
