Affiliate software

[phppete]

I'm looking for a well written affiliate program which has good reviews. I *don't* want free or open source, although the code must not be encrypted. It should be written in PHP with MySQL for the db. The budget is up to $600. The company must have a support forum where I can see customers biggest gripes, I want to know the product is widely used and mostly bug free.

Does anyone know of one or can recommend one?

Thanks

You've probably already been here, but Hotscripts (http://hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Affiliate_Programs/index.html) has a few listings that seem to match your requirements.

Also, I'm confused on why you say:

I *don't* want free or open source

Seems to me that quality is key with scripts, and a free/open source script could be better than a paid one... :dunno:

A free or open source script is usually without any support, when you pay for one such as this forum software you get better support. I'm sure there is a reason why FQ (you!) pay for vBulletin and not grab PHPBB.

A well supported, well written commercial script has many advantages over OS.

Thanks for the http://hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Affiliate_Programs/index.html link but not one of them has a nice polished admin. Nothing there impresses me... I'll keep looking.

Pete,

It would probably help to clarify how you intend to use the affiliate program and whether you wish to tie it to existing scripts you already have in place. I wouldn't write off an open source or free solution yet.
