New Interface

It has never been seemless, on any of the merchants I promote since you started he new methods.

I have only one gripe at the moment. I really do not like the link generator. Much preferred the old way of just copy paste and then add a tracking reference or deeplink if needed. The new interface just makes things that little bit more labour intensive.

I see that AF have listened and changed their linking Could I ask if there is any way that you can use the standard code with double quotes around the value instead of single? The single quotes do not work on my sites (I have mentioned this before) which means I still have more work to do with changing them all to double.


Also, I am sure that I previously found in the nav.menu a list of current promotions/discount codes, but I can't find it now - has it been removed?

We've been looking at the speed of the links and any potential drop offs of traffic. The good news is that we are seeing a significant uplift in transactions since the change across and there has been no abandonment of traffic on the clicks.

We're listening, we'll help you out with the quote issue shortly as well.

We tended to put promo's/discount codes for events throughout the year. There will be something made available in the coming months on a permanent basis.

is the new comminications centre fully working now? is there a way to send a message to all affiliates?

[pistol101]

Select 'send a newsletter' then you can pick all your affiliates. It's all affiliates that are signed upto your programmes, we don't allow communications to every affiliate.

If you select the newsarticle option this will available in the interface of every affiliate and go into the weekly email to all affiliates.

Any problems let us know.

Hi Peter,

How long does it usually take for a newsletter and a news article to be approved through the interface?

First time today to submit both and wondered when they'll go live.

Cheers
Helen

In the 'Financial Overview' would it not be possible to actually say what the 'affiliate bonus' and 'affiliate refunds' are. The bonus are obviously good but would be handy to see who I am actually getting bonuses for. The Affiliate Refund is slightly more disturbing as in this case it is a £764.31 debit out my account - but again have no idea what this it.

Also sometimes the invoices dont tie up with what actually gets paid into the account so pretty pointless really. I presume the figure is not including the bonus/debits mentioned above.

Well I have given the new interface a good workout and now I am very disappointed.

So much in fact I am not going to bother using it at all except in extremis.

Datafeeds. They're empty and that includes some of those currently published to the "new" interface. No way to see how many products either so not going to use that function.

Discount codes. Disappointing in that for ease of use I'd like to see what is available that I am subscribed to rather than trawl through the lot.

So I am going to continue to get feeds direct from merchants I am interested in and prefix it with a text tracking link as the feeds from the AF platform are still rubbish.

How come Savile Row has a nice new file format and NO products?

How come AdvancedMP3Players is all categorised incorrectly? Compared to their wonderful AWIN feed? It's also a heck of a lot smaller.

Sorry AF but there's no image for a wooden spoon in the forum smilies. Otherwise I'd have posted it.
