In Pulsar Marketing's opinion, there is no viable affiliate recruit software. Generally such software scans web sites and whois databases, which will often return invalid results.

Understandably, many affiliates do not want solicitations via email. They are busy working to earn revenue, and just like marketing agencies they do not want to waste their time sifting through junk email proclaming 'Great Offer!'. Recruiting affiliates via email is not the best option in the first place, so instead you should invest your money in paying higher affiliate rates or by developing innovative affiliate program software.

Regarding web site information, many affiliates either do not list their email address, or their email box is so full that emails sent to it are returned as undeliverable. Of those who do list their email address, often it is coded by using a graphic or by scripts. Therefore, affiliate recruitment software is not able to read most coded email addresses. And, as with email addresses, many affiliates do not list their physical mailing addresses.

Regarding the domain whois information, often affiliates do not list their valid home, 'snail-mail' physical address, or they list the address of their web host. And then there are those affiliates with 'private' registration data. As with their web sites, due to spam most affiliates do not list a valid email address on the whois, which is very understandable. Just as you despise spam, so do affiliates and you should respect their concerns. Using affiliate recruit software to mass send solicitations can do more harm than good with those few affiliates whom you do reach by email.

The best affiliate recruitment software is the marketing agency itself. Pulsar Marketing's recommendation is to create affiliate program software that appeals to affiliates. Create software that is not offered by any other affiliate network, is easy to use, and meets the needs of affiliates.

Create affiliate software that draws affiliates to your marketing agency, instead of you chasing after affiliates. Provide affiliates with superior support, tracking integrity, and your affiliates will in turn refer other, new affiliates to you.

If you do not have the means of developing software, considering leasing software offered by other marketing agencies who own proprietary, innovative technologies. Pulsar Marketing offers hosted affiliate software on a monthly lease basis. For information about our affiliate software, contact us at 228-832-5553 (hosted software is leased only to U.S. affiliate program managers).

Final note: Only a small percentage of affiliates attend seminars and conferences. The funds you expend to attend these functions could be put to better use. Follow Pulsar Marketing's advice and use those funds to develope new, innovative technologies, to pay your affiliate force higher commission rates, and to offer bonuses and gifts to your most loyal affiliates.
