Digital River is more than just an affiliate company. They also offer commerce business infrastructure using their proprietary software, technology, and intellectual property.
Created in 2006, Digital River has almost a decade of experience in affiliate marketing and provides all the basic features that many of its competitors offer. While the company doesn't offer many services that are unique only to itself, it does remain a strong competitor in this field and has developed a positive reputation.
Primarily, Digital River helps publishers track the progress of their sites by assisting with pixel tracking and API integration with a shopping cart feature. In addition, they allow publishers to create deep links.
As a publisher, your main concern is not just creating links on your website but is viewing the progress of those links and tweaking them accordingly. With Digital River's many types of reports, you can do just that. On a regular basis, you can view:
With such readily available reports, you can thoroughly monitor and improve the effectiveness of your marketing.
Digital River fail to present adequate information to clients up front through their company website. They allude to general features that they offer but don't get very specific, leaving potential and current clients alike to resort to email or calling a live representative. But that leads to another problem the website presents: there is no clear phone number to call. Customers are therefore stuck with waiting for an email to get real answers.
While Digital River does offer some extra features such as deep linking, they don't offer webpage building, which can also be a deterrent for some publishers.
Perhaps of more concern for publishers is this company's approach to commissions. They pay their affiliates a percentage of every sale their links lead to, not for every click or other leads. That can drastically affect the amount of money you make on your links.
