I would like an affiliate tracking software that i may use to track leads generated by various subaffiliates. These leads must be tracked by either a 1x1 pixel tracking method placed on each advertiser's website, or by importing statistics from other publishers that i will be cross publishing on. This is extremely similar to the "Network" products on [login to view URL] and affiliatetraction.com. In fact, if it was nothing more than a duplicate of these i would be happy. Basically, i want to be able to have sub affiliates sign up, be manually approved by me, and then be able to choose from a list of campaigns that are available for them to run. They must also be able to see campaigns that they wish to run but have to agree to an extra terms of service for. Finally, on the user side, they must see a statistics page where they can view all their tracked leads online or in a downloadable CSV file. The sign up page must have SSL security. On the admin side, i would like to be able to see all users, their outstanding balances, and the payment terms they are on. Also, i must be able to customize each user's specific rate on an offer, but have a standard rate for all other users. Again, the "Network" products on [login to view URL] and [login to view URL] are the two that would help you most in scripting this and seeing what features are needed. I also need a design to be integrated with the script. Here is a list of the features:
