We need a pay-per-click search engine script combined with an affiliate script. We can purchase the search engine script and the affiliate script.
This is how I want the two scripts integrated:
Affiliates should be paid on a multi-level scheme. When an affiliate refers someone to the search engine and revenue is generated, the affiliate is payed a percentage of the revenue. This should continue for multiple levels. (IE. 10% payout on level 1, 10% payout on level 2, etc.)
Revenue will be generated in a number of different ways. When someone clicks on a paid advertisment, revenue is generated and this should triger payment to the referer and the referer's referer, etc. Revenue can also be generated through product and services sales. Additional sources of revenue generation will be added occasionally, so it must be easy to integrate them into the affiliate system.
The affiliate software should be capeable of processing payments (print checks, paypal, etc.) and should allow the affilliates to track their organizations. It should be a full featured affiliate script that automates most processes. The use of Cookies to track the referals would be preferable to id#s. If a referal comes to the website and generates revenue anytime in the future, the original referring affiliate (and upline) should recieve payment.
