Exciting New Affiliates Opportunity!
If you have a website, newsletter or other means of promotion, you can help us promote our award-winning software products and earn a typical 30% commission on all sales you help generate. Custom arrangements may be negotiated for high volume affiliates.
It's simple to become a Rose City Software Affiliate. Just take a few minutes and sign up as a Rose City Affiliate. Enrollment takes just a few minutes and then you can begin earning commissions for sales of any of our great titles at Rose City right away! This unique system automatically wraps the installation file so that when installed, your Affiliate ID number is automatically encoded into the software's purchase links. No other system goes this far to insure the Affiliate gets credit for the sale.
How it Works!
Once you have signed up as an affiliate and have your eSellerate Affiliate ID login information, you have two options on how to proceed:
Option One: Using the basic eSellerate system, you can download your Affiliate ID-tagged (EST) version of any of our great titles.
Just proceed to download eST versions through your affiliate account if you are planning on hosting the files and landing pages yourself.
This option is ideal for big websites which are accustomed to building webpages and hosting files, and for purveyors of CD-ROM collections.
Option Two: To use the Rose City Hosted Downloads System you simply need your eSellerate Affiliate ID to link to our servers. Link directly to the download file if you prefer, or to one of our custom landing pages designed to sell the software.
Our software titles Registry First Aid, TweakMASTER, DU Meter, Tradetrakker, SynchroMaster, and DiskMagik, as well as ClipCache and LinkStash, all use the new eSellerate Hosted Downloads system. There you simply log on to your affiliate account at eSellerate and get your banners and landing page or wrapped download links there. For our other titles, you can use own own system which basically does the same thing within the eSellerate system, except you point to the downloads and landing pages on our servers instead of theirs. Just log in to our special A1Downloads.com server with your eSellerate Affiliate ID and you will be presented with a list of all the applications available for affiliates from Rose City Software where we host the downloads and landing pages for you. Several links are provided for each software title and the links are pre-encoded with your eSellerate Affiliate ID that you logged in with.
Unique Tracking Features
This exclusive affiliate technology will automatically hardcode your eSellerate Affiliate ID, assigned to you when you enroll in the program, into the purchase link in the software. This way if you offer one of our products as a trial download to others, this unique technology GUARANTEES that you will be recorded as the affiliate and will receive credit for the sales generated from your downloads, thereby insuring that you will receive the commissions due you.
Besides the hardcoded links in the downloaded software, eSellerate also now offers backup cookie tracking so even if your customer decides to use a link other than the buy link in the software to make his purchase, the cookies provide some additional insurance that each affiliate will receive credit for the sales attributed to their downloads.
Do not confuse this program with other so-called shareware affiliate programs which rely only on simple cookie tracking to get you credit for the sales you generate. There are just too many ways for the cookies to get munched, leaving you with only crumbs and no commissions. This exclusive new technology is much BETTER!
ESellerate also offers affiliates the option to promote our software for direct sale, instead of using the trial/shareware model. Some affiliates may find this produces more sales for their demographics and avoids the issue of needing to host the shareware downloads themselves. However, most affiliates will probably want to allow the customer to try it themselves first before ordering. This unique capability is a major advantage of our new affiliate program.
Online Reporting Directly to YOU!
Affiliate sales are tracked by our partner in e-commerce, eSellerate.net, and once you sign up, you will receive full instructions how you can log on to their reports section as often as you like and check to see how your promotional efforts are repaying you. All payments are automatically handled by eSellerate as well, so you can check your monthly earnings against the online reporting to audit your account.

Promoting Your Affiliate Software
We have a page for each software in the affiliates program with various banners and graphics you can use. Or if you have artistic talents, feel free to create something yourself.
Merely placing a banner graphic on your webpage does not in itself assure much in the way of sales. Good promotion generates good sales. You can link to our store where there is indeed a brief explanation of what the software does. However, it is intentionally kept very brief at that point. By actively promoting your affiliate software and linking to an actual landing page for the software, you can give your website visitor more information and persuade him to download or purchase the software for himself.
This is where our exclusive Rose City Enhanced Hosted Downloads System (explained above) shines. Just link to us and we take care of the rest! Or if you prefer to host the landing pages or download files yourself, we have sample affiliate landing pages for each of our software programs already prepared for you. You can use these pages both for trial versions and direct sale approach Just replace the links with your own Affiliate ID tagged links and download links, upload it to your server and you are ready to go! We'll provide you with links to download the custom designed landing pages for each product in a zipfile complete with all graphics from us. You can just open it with notepad or any text editor to make your changes. These zipfiles contain all the images on the pages as well in the correctly named image subdirectory.
Rose City takes its responsibility to its affiliate network very seriously. As we develop this exclusive new sytem we will begin offering a periodic affiliates' newsletter. We will also have an affiliates forum on the Rose City website where affiliates can share ideas, tips, and secrets. This kind of support insures your continued success with the program.
That's all there is to it! It costs you nothing to join, there is no risk and it works! Why not recommend our great shareware products to your friends? They'll thank you for helping them improve their computing productivity, and you'll make money on every sale!
Once you have signed up as an affiliate and have your eSellerate Affiliate ID, you can go either login to your account at eSellerate and grab your links there, or use our exclusive Rose City Hosted Downloads System to get your customized Affiliate links - or you can proceed to our affiliate downloads page and download for yourself the Affiliate ID-tagged versions of the Rose City Software applications you want to promote.
Responsible Affiliate Promotion
NOTE: We encourage creative ways to promote our software and there are many. But Spam is specifically disallowed by the Affiliate Agreement you must agree to. If you are found guilty of sending unsolicited email (SPAM) to promote our software, your affiliate status with eSellerate will be immediately terminated, you will no longer be eligible for participation in our affiliate program and any money credited to your account will be confiscated.
