There are TWO ways the OSClassified can be different then other classified website out there.
FIRST:
Say I have account in Affliate Future (
http://www.affiliatefuture.co.uk/how/default.asp)
and my Affliate ID is
"12345"A company name "Into Mobile phones" (
http://intomobile...com)
Merchant ID 751offers different mobile phone contracts deals and pay for every sale £2.00GBP.
Say somebody posted a link to
http://intomaobile...com. In OSClass you can add a plugin which look for domain link like
http://intombiles...com when somebody click on this link it is checked whether we have signed up for this merchant programe? if yes then the outgoing link changes to our link as below
http://scripts.affiliatefuture.com/AFClick.asp?affiliateID=12345&
merchantID=751&programmeID=2496&mediaID=0&tracking=&url
Example:
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/tesco-mobile-sony-ericsson-x10-mini-pro-black-99-99-tesco-direct/970921This is User generated website.
When you click on GO TO DEAL they check if they are affiliate to TescoDirect if yes then the licks are changed to their affliated link. otherwise the site get alert to signed for affiliation if available for such link. and the revenue in future is secured.
Secound:
As above still member of Affiliate Fututre however this time they give you a CSV or XML DATA FEED to all mobiles deals. Which you can make plugin for that can be fetched and injected into OSClass database as Adverts.
Example:
http://www.mobiles4everyone.com/These both options will be extra features of OSclass and can be real money earner for the website if managed properly in dedicated categories.
Let me know if you need more explanation..
