New Affiliate Control Panel Makes Promoting AWeber Even Easier

Posted by Ron Givens

Red Ribbon Your feedback regarding AWeber’s new features has been very positive over the past several months. Thank you for your enthusiasm!

In addition to the new features we’ve released for customers, we’re very happy to announce that we’ve revamped the affiliate control panel! The brand-new interface allows you to manage your affiliate campaigns even more effectively.

With these exciting new features within the control panel, you will be able to:

Enhance the look of your affiliate web site with new AWeber banners and ads.
Better track your campaigns with easily readable, downloadable affiliate statistics and reports.
Navigate more easily through your affiliate account with a user-friendly layout.

Let’s look at a few highlights of the new affiliate control panel:

Stylish New Banner Ads

Well, you’ve been asking for them, and they are finally here!

Choose from 21 different banner ads that will add color and excitement to your affiliate website.

To see all of the new banners, go to the “Banners” page of your affiliate control panel.

You will then see HTML code for the banner. This contains the clickable banner image with your affiliate URL embedded. Simply copy that code and paste it into your website.

User Friendly Control Panel

In the new streamlined control panel, you can now move around within your affiliate account much more efficiently.

After logging in to your account, your affiliate ID and URL are both easily found at the top of your control panel. This allows quick access to your affiliate information.

Plus, navigating through your control panel is now a snap! The easy to find tabs help you quickly find your resources and account information.

Also, the new color scheme and layout will certainly help you locate the many tools and resources AWeber has to offer affiliates.

New Look for Affiliate Stats and Reports

As an AWeber affiliate, it’s important for you to have good records about the visitors to your affiliate URL as well as your sales and sub affiliates.

This information will be a lot easier for you to understand and track using the new chart styles we have provided for you. To see them, go to the “Tracking” page.

This simple new design will display your AWeber affiliate stats at a glance.

More to Come?

Even though this is our initial roll out for the updated affiliate control panel, there will certainly be more additions to come.

If you have any suggestions, please feel free to contact us and we will certainly respond to any feedback or questions.

If you are not an AWeber affiliate, what better time to get a new campaign underway! Sign up today!

Thanks for the new look and upgrades gang.

Nice job.

One request is that you put the affiliate login form on a separate page from the customer login. I use Roboform (anyone else?) and it gets confused when there’s 2 login forms. Any chance you can either move it or make a separate affiliate login form somewhere?

Why is the affiliate system still a separate login though? i thought being able to access the affiliate center from within our normal accounts, thus making all customers instant affiliates, would be the way to go.

I’ve been using AWeber for years now and mentioned a few years ago the challenge of having the Affiliate Login form on the same page as the Client Login form … especially for those of us who use Roboform or other password management software.

When I click on the Affiliate Link password button of Roboform, it fills the Client Login Form because that’s first on the page. Because the two passwords are different, it’s always inconvenient for me to have to open Roboform and manually process the Affiliate Login. In fact, it’s more than inconvenient, it’s a pain in the bum.

Yes, I know, I know … tough luck for me. However, if there are others out there using Roboform etc, they will be as pissed off as me having to waste time handling the Affiliate Login.

Of the hundreds of sites for which I have user ID and password stored in Roboform, AWeber is the ONLY one that I have difficulty with.

I’d be interested to hear if others have the same problem.

… and the sales they’d be throwing down the drain in my opinion by not automatically recruiting all customers as affilaites. Maybe it’s laziness, surely they’d realise it could be done better.

Oh well, this statement then might rustler their feathers & make them to take a look into it…

"1sc has them beat in that department hands down. One login form"

@Robin yep same issue here as I posted above. Glad I’m not the only one. I think aweber is the only site I know of where they put 2 login forms on one page.

Thank you very much for your input.

We are getting great feedback about the control panel.

We’ll certainly be working hard to make the interface as
manageable as possible.

Robin, Jeff and Peter and Matt,

Your feedback regarding the login area is great. We will certainly take those as well as any other suggestions into consideration.

Keep an eye on this blog for any future changes to your affiliate accounts!

I’d like to see you test a unique colored order button on the top right so that prospects can find is easily. It blends in too much and is hard to find.

Could increase conversions.

P.S - I like the changes you guys are making.

Hello,
I am using robot form as well and the work arround the two forms sharing the same page is to create two separate logins for the page.

aWeber - email
aWeber - affilate

Each of the logins filling only the corresponding form …

Nice changes and good marketing material.

Question:
How can we use the articles? Are we to use the summary and titles only and refer to the entire article on aWeber? If so what would be the URL then?
If we can copy the whole content what credential do we need to put?
Thank you,

Frabrice,

Thank you very much. I am glad you like the articles.

You can place those articles into your website or blog
either entirely or just a small snippet that links
to the URL of the article itself.

In your affiliate control panel, if you click on the
name of the article, you can use the URL that appears
in your browser as the link within your website or blog.

You can also use our blog headlines within the content
of your site in order to have fresh and updated information
about AWeber sent directly to your page.

Within your affiliate control panel, if you go to
"Blog Headlines on Your Website", you will see an area
where you copy a bit of javascript to insert into your site.

I will look into updated the bio information. In the meantime
you can just paste in the information as it appears.

I am not sure what you are asking about the robot form.
contact us here, and I will gladly look into that for you.
