TAP did not require me to do the programming. To multiply myself in the marketplace. I like the Administration features, because they are at once powerful and easy to use. It's easy for everyone to use, and it does everything I want. Once sales pick up, I will buy more modules for it.
Sales are up.
So far, even though my affiliates are not driving many sales, the mere existence of a self-contained affiliate program lends stature and credence to the business. Traffic is WAY up. We have 1600 to 2000 visitors a day, and on 6 days of 1999, the average visit exceeded 3 hours. Exposure is up, I know, because we are now listed on several of the affiliate program sites and my logs show people are visiting the site through the affiliate pages. I suppose many of them are exploring the rest of the site while they are here.
