I would like to add an affiliate program to my site. First,
let me give you an overview of how the program would work:
I’m providing a service in which I have tested and reviewed
5 of the top ClickBank products. Members who join my site
and upgrade, will be able to plug their ClickBank Nickname
into the system which will create their own personal
affiliate url. These members will then advertise their
personal affiliate url.
Whenever someone purchases from one of the 5 products on
their site, Clickbank will credit the sale to them. As our
system will automatically insert their ClickBank Nickname
into the ClickBank referral url for any of the 5 products
listed on my site.
So, here is what I need done:
1) SIGN-UP PAGE
The following fields should appear on the sign-up page
First Name Last Name Contact Email Address Password
Confirm Password ClickBank Nickname
(NOTE: Please include the checkbox and the Term of Service
link which will be linked to the terms.php A member must
complete All fields and check the checkbox before the system
will allow him to sign up.)
This sign-up page should look like the sign-up page on my
other site located at:
http://www.myguaranteedvisitors.com/user_new.php
Once the member clicks the submit button, he should be taken
to the thanks.php with the following message:
“Thank You For Joining!
An activation Link was just sent to your e-mail address.
Please click on the link in that e-mail to activate your
account. Note: If your activation e-mail is not in your
inbox, please check your bulk or junk e-mail box. If you do
not receive your activation e-mail within 15 minutes, go to
the login page above, click on the “Re-send Activation
Email” link, enter your e-mail address, click the
“Submit” button and the system will re-send your
activation e-mail link.
Thanks Again For Joining!”
The member will then receive the following activation email:
Subject: First Name, Please Activate Your Account!
Body: “First Name, thank you for Joining The Top5BusinessOpportunities.com!
Your ClickBank Nickname is:
Your Password is:
To activate your account you have to open the following link:

Click it or copy-paste it to your browser’s query string.

Once the member clicks on the activation link, he is taken
to the Log In page where he can now log in.
2) LOG IN PAGE
The log In page will consist of the following fields and
links:
ClickBank Nickname: Password:
Forgot Password | Re-send Activation Email
You can visit the following page to see what the Log In page
should look like:

If a member forgets his password, he can click on the
“Forgot Password” link and enter either is ClickBank
Nickname of Email address and hit the submit button. Once he
clicks the Submit button, the following message should
appear: “Your Password Details Sent Successfully. Please

The email for the Forgot Password should be:
Subject: First Name, Here Are Your Password Details!
Body: Hi First Name, Below are your log in details:

If a member does not receive his Activation Email, he can
click on the “Re-send Activation Email” link, enter his
email address and click the Submit button. Once he clicks
the Submit button, the following message should appear:
“Your Activation Link Sent Successfully. Please check your
email inbox or your Bulk email box. “
The email for the Re-send Activation Email should be the
same as the initial Activation email except the Subject
should read: “First Name, Please Activate Your Account!
(RE-SEND)”

Upgrade price will be inserted here) per month. You will be
billed (The Upgrade price will be inserted here) every 30
days until you cancel your subscription.
In order to cancel your subscription, simply log into your
PayPal account and cancel the subscription. If you cancel
your subscription before the subscription is set to expired,
we cannot issue any refunds on any unused days left on the
subscription. Additionally, your Upgrade Status will be set
to INACTIVE on the date the subscription is canceled.
Once your Upgrade Status is set to INACTIVE, you will not be
able to make any sales as the Admin default member’s link
and the Admin default ClickBank Nickname will be inserted on
your page.
2) Once you have completed your purchase on PayPal’s site,
you’ll be re-directed to our Thank You page. All you have
to do is click on the Member’s Home link above and your
Upgrade Status should now read: ACTIVE. If not, send us an
email and we will manually set your Upgrade Status to
ACTIVE.
3) Once your Upgrade Status is set to ACTIVE, you can now
add your 4 member’s link. Just click on the “Add Member’s
Link” below and add your personal links.
4) Once you have added your 4 personal member’s links, you
can now start advertising your affiliate url above. If you
should have any questions, click on the Contact Us link
above and send us an email.
////Below are the columns for the Top sites table. I’ll be
adding 5 top sites so the sites should be numbered 1 through 5
Top Site# | Program Name | Impressions | Clicks | Click-Thru Rate | Re-set
Stats
Note: When a member clicks on the “Re-set Stats” button,
that will zero out the Impressions, Clicks and Click-Thru
Rate fields. Also, I’ll be adding the Program Names from
the Admin Control Panel.
////Below are the columns for the Member’s personal links
table. The members will be able to add up to 4 links. So
the Member links should be numbered 1 through 4.
Member Link# | Description | Url | Edit | Delete
Click here to add Member’s link
When a member clicks on the “Click here to add member
link” above, he should be taken to a page with the
following fields: (Please see the following page
http://www.myguaranteedvisitors.com/site_new.php in the
member’s area to see how this page should be set up.)
ADD MEMBER LINKS
Link Description: (Note: The Max characters for this field
is 30 characters) Link Url:
Submit | Cancel
Whenever a member clicks on the Submit or Cancel button to
Add, Edit or Delete a link, he should be taken back to the
member’s home page.
b) The Profile – Delete Acct page should look like this
(Please visit the following page
http://www.myguaranteedvisitors.com/user_edit.php to see
how this page should be set up.)
USER PROFILE
- First Name
- Last Name
- Contact Email
- Password
- ClickBank Nickname
Submit Button goes here.
DELETE ACCT.
To delete your account, send us an email by clicking on the
Submit button below.

- Subject: Please Delete my Top5businessOpportunities Account!
Comments(Optional)
Note: The only field that should be editable is the Comments
field. Also, the ClickBank Nickname, Full Name and Email
Address should appear in the body of the email.
c) The Upgrade Account page should look like this:
When a member clicks on the Upgrade Account link, he should
taken to a page that has the PayPal’s pay button on it.
Once he clicks on the PayPal’s pay button, he should be
taken to PayPal’s payment page and the purchase item
should read: “Top 5 30 Day Subscription For Member: (His
ClickBank Nickname should be inserted here).
Once the member completes his transaction, he should be
re-directed to our thankyou.php page. This is where you
will need to set up the IPN (Note: the IPN url should be
http://www.thetop5businessopportunities.com/notify.php).
If the transaction comes back as status COMPLETED, then
the system should automatically set the member’s Upgrade
Status to ACTIVE. If the transaction comes back anything else,
the system should set the member’s Upgrade Status to INACTIVE.
If a member uses an E-check, the system should set the
member’s Upgrade status to INACTIVE and I should receive
an email stating that I have received an E-check. If the
E-check comes back as cleared or completed, the system
should set the member’s Upgrade Status to ACTIVE and I
should receive another email stating the status of the
E-check. If the E-check does not come back as Cleared, then
the system should set the member’s Upgrade Status to:
INACTIVE. (Note: You can check out my IPN file the
notify.php to see how the IPN and E-check messages are set
up).
Now whenever a member’s Upgrade status is set to: ACTIVE,
his ClickBank Nickname is automatically inserted into the 5
top sites on his affiliate page and he can also add his 4
personal member links. If a member’s Upgrade Status is set
to INACTIVE, his ClickBank Nickname is NOT inserted into
the 5 top sites on his page and he Cannot add his 4 personal
member links. Instead, my admin default ClickBank Nickname
will be inserted and my 4 personal links will be inserted on
his affiliate page. Note: I will add my ClickBank Nickname
and personal links in the Admin Control Panel.

But since he said it’s not something he’s familiar with, and I need it done soon, I wanted to go ahead and post this project in case someone else already knows how to do it…
AlertPay will be the pay processor. Please make it easy to auto-activate entries (after payments) and mass payout commissions (automatically at the 10th day of the month in just 1 click, based on performance up to the last day of the previous month).
