German affiliate network Affilinet is finally moving. After many years of fat revenue from eBay and relatively little technical progress they are rolling out a set of new features for publishers.

Languages

First of all, the publisher interface has become multi-lingual. It’s now available not only in German but also in English, French, Spanish and Dutch.

RSS Feed for Payout Changes

Affilinet finally offers an RSS feed for payout changes. It’s a personalized URL that can be used with RSS readers without having to be logged on to Affilinet.

Web Services

Just like zanox, Affilinet is trying to open up and give publishers more access through the use of APIs. Publishers can now access their reports (including sub IDs) and also download product data including tracking links.
