Ajax Control Panel

What are the different types of control panels in an affiliate system?

Any affiliate software is a combination of the following sub systems:

1. Merchant control panel
2. Affiliate control panel
3. Affiliate information pages and tracking scripts at merchant website
4. Published promos and links at affiliate sites
5. Background system

Once an affiliate system is set up and running, the merchant can do the day-to-day affiliate management by simply logging in. This area is known as the "merchant control panel".

Similarly, once registered and logged in, an affiliate can do everything related to his own affiliate account. He can; even engage in a discussion with the merchant. This area is also known as the "affiliate control panel".

The last three sub systems are not directly related to merchant or affiliate daily activity. 

Why use an AJAX Control Panel?

An affiliate manager is likely to spend 1-5 hours daily in the merchant control panel, so minimizing his time and frustration in opening reports and forms is very important. The same is true for the affiliate. If the promo listing pages or reports take too much time to load, affiliates may be frustrated and abandon the system forever. Merchants simply cannot afford to lose the affiliate or to waste time needed elsewhere.

Ajax is a web technology that enhances the user's web browsing experience. If used optimally in merchant forms and reports, it can save a lot of time and greatly improve the user's browsing experience. It maximizes the user's output and contributes to the success of their affiliate marketing business.. 

Are all affiliate software products powered with an AJAX control panel?

Not all affiliate software products are powered with an Ajax control panel. Much of the existing popular software was developed before the arrival of AJAX technology. Before you purchase any affiliate software product, view a demo first to ensure that it is powered with this important technology.
