Hey all,
I'm thinking about doing up a design spec/prototype of an affiliation
service for our company... But I'm not entirely sure where to start... Is
there a real benefit of an affiliation system? Off the top, I think it'd be
useful for:
1) Brand recognition
2) Depending on what you include in the masthead, it could be a traffic
driver for sites who are affiliated, as well as our own
3) Provide improved functionality to people's sites
I don't think we'll be putting banners on them, like I've seen...
I really like the OSDN one (on freshmeat.net etc.); extremely functional,
not a lot of fluff.
But are there objections for using an affiliation service? Can they be made
to positively affect our (and out clients') search engine listings?
I thought this topic came up once before, but a quick search through thelist
archives turned up nada...
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Chris.
