Wishlist -a new Facebook application
May 23rd, 2008
The question posed in every article written about social networking is “How does anyone make money from this channel?” With the launch of Wishlist, a new Facebook application from Affiliate Window, we believe we have created the first real answer to this question.
Wishlist turns every Facebook user into a potential affiliate, that’s over 10 million Facebook accounts in the UK alone! Enabling them to search for items from our 4.5 million product database and then share them with friends by tagging them as items they want or items they want to recommend.
Affiliate Window merchants can now put Facebook links on their site that will encourage customers to tag items into their Facebook profile without leaving the retailing website.
Although the application turns Facebook users who promote the application and specific product into affiliates, tracking cookies are only saved on a PC when the user clicks on the ‘visit store’ button. The ‘visit store’ button is located on the ‘Search Results Page’ and the specific ‘Product Details Page’ within the Facebook application. In all other circumstances existing affiliate cookies on the users PC remain ACTIVE.

We look forward to your feedback.

This is huge. Nice job.
It’s exciting times to see how affiliate marketing melds with social media. How will it affect traditional affiliates who don’t care about relationships? How will it affect merchants who try and avoid transparency?
Time will tell, but kudos on staking a claim of the new frontier in any case.

This sounds like a great idea. Has anyone made any significant revenue from this?

Are there any plans to change the look and feel for seasons? Specifically Xmas (Peak)?
If so this would potentially attract me towards integration with our site.

Very nice. I mostly resell software titles.I have prepared my website to accept the ProductIDs of software titles and construct the URL as described in the help PDF.But I could not find the Product IDs from the affiliate window control panel.
Where do I get the product IDs from?
