Hello friends,

First of all thanks everyone for always guiding me to the excellent advice on all the questions I have asked so far. My thanks also go to RS/HS for having this open forum with great people who help newbies like me all the time. Anytime I get stuck on something, I just come here and boom --> my problem gets solved. Amazing! I am impressed.

Here is what I need your help again with:

For our soon to be launched dating/matchmaking network, we have developed our own 'simple' affiliate system that we plan to manage in-house. But now when we signed up with 2checkout.com, we discovered that there are 3rd party affiliate management systems like interneka.com who provide you feature/options rich systems for about 35 bucks a month and host the entire affiliate system for you.

Questions:

1. What is your recommendation: Should we go with 3rd party affiliate system management company or our own? Is there any benefit to going with 3rd party? If yes, any other good 3rd party system there?

2. Re: Advertising on our own sites (network of 115 dating sites), should we develop our own advertising module or again go with some 3rd party ad delivery/management system such as doubleclick or espotting etc? If 3rd party. any other recommendation who else is good?

3. Do you know of any free for commercial use affiliate software or advertising module available in PHP? Btw, our sites will use PHP/MySQL/Linux.

Please advise.

Thanks everyone.

Regards,

Kumar
