Tracking Problem?

**DaveR** · 08-06-04

Hi all,

Is there a problem with A Future at the moment? or it is me

I've noticed all of my A Future links are just fowarding to the Affiliate Future website. The tracking URL I use, which used to work, is:

http://scripts.affiliatefuture.com/A...diaID=412&url=

This is copied from the Affil Future site:

http://scripts.affiliatefuture.com/A...tracking=&url=

This is happening for all of them .you'll see that programme is replaced by programmeID and all have different numbers. Have I missed an announcement?

Thanks
DaveR

I assume in your actual links you have got your affiliate id and not xxxx ?

Hi DaveR

have you checked to see if the programs you are using are still active on the network. I spent a couple of minutes panicking the other day over a similar issue - links being redirected to the AF home page - only to find that the programs i was using to test the links for were deactivated and I just hadn't been taking enough notice. DOH

Thanks for the replies. I was using my tracking ID and the merchants do seem to be active....I've not swtiched my links to the ones currently displayed on Affiliate Future.

The top[ was the original link I have. The bottom the one currently displayed on the Affil Future site. You'll see differences in the two such that programme is now replaced with programmeID

I'm sure the top was working for a while. Perhaps I've just got the link wrong?

I've just found another one. Gilbert shop.

The link I've got doesn't work (top). The one on the Affil Future does (bottom):

The upper link has the 'ID' missing from the 'programmeID' portion of the querystring.

Or have u spotted this and are saying that the old/upper link was issued by the AF website in the past?

Thanks Barry.

We did take them from the AF site. Very odd.

Some are working others aren't. Will just have to check them all.

Hi DaveR,

You definately need programmeID= rather than programme. As far as i've know it's always been like that!

Let me know if you need a hand sorting the links.

If you have dreamweaver you can hit crt f8 and run a link check - look at external links and sort alphabetically and then you'll see really easily what the links are like.
