There's this great new Adsense alternative cpa program called, Prosperent. You should check it out. It will display highly relevant product ads where you place the code. You get paid when a visitor clicks an ad and makes a purchase. Read my new Prosperent review now.

Thanks David. I hadn’t heard of that one, but it looks like it has everything the others lacked: affiliates, coupon codes, equity partners, PayPal integration from the admin, and even a 60 day money back guarantee. Nice. The multiple site logins would be nice too, especially with a plugin Blair Williams wrote to allow plugins to tie into the WordPress auto-update system. It just checks to see if the user exists on the specified domain, and then shells out the download. It’s SWEET! But only one plugin can be associated with each domain. This would make it possible to auto-update multiple plugins, without any hassle.
I’ll have to get him to buy Mbr+ for me to test out. Thanks for the pointer.

You missed one: Rapid Action Profits (RAP) with the Membership Plus Addon, which includes a Subscription addon. Actually, the Mbr+ guys have released a newer addon, the Rapid Action Press addon, that integrates RAP with Wordpress. As I write this, RA Press licensees get a license for their SecureDL addon for free, which protects downloads no matter where they live — even on a service like Amazon S3.

At first blush, the price for all of this might seem a bit high. But when you consider that you’re getting an UNLIMITED SITES license, you’re saving money over aMember on your 2nd or 3rd site. (I think RAPress has a single and unlimited site option. but the others are all unlimited.)

I’ve worked with these tools for as long as they’ve been out and the support is top-notch.

The unique thing about RAP is that it supports affiliates using a kind of “flip-flop” approach to payments. This means affiliates get paid directly and immediately — you don’t need to collect the funds and disburse them later, saving lots of headaches come tax time, and reducing the risks with your own PayPal account.

It also ONLY works with PayPal, but that’s not much of an issue these days because they take all major credit cards. The only people who MUST have a PP acct (other than the site owner) are the affiliates.

Other unique features of RAP are: it supports both 1- and 2-tier payment structures; it supports both regular affiliates and “JV Partners”; and it also allows you to have up to two “Equity Partners”.

I find the use of RAPress to provide tight integration of RAP’s payment prowess into Wordpress to be its biggest feature right now.
