WineWare AARRGGHHH!

babrees · 27-07-08

Is anybody here an affiliate with WineWare?

They have an independent affiliate program which is run by freshegg.com

I asked a couple of questions before joining back in April, but joined before they were answered. I have asked them several times since then but still not got any answer. At one point they suggested I emailed freshegg.com - never got a reply from them!

From the beginning their banners (which are a flash object) have not shown correctly but been so small you couldn't see them, plus went to a 404 page. At last they have just got those working. But now I can actually see them I was shocked to see, as clear as day, on the banner they want you to use, a.....PHONE NUMBER!!!!!!!!

I am STILL waiting for them to advise me how I can do a text and deep link (first asked them on 1st May!)

So, now I've ranted... My problem is that I really like their stuff and it is ideal for my site, but I'm so fed up with them ---- does anybody know of a similar merchant with an affiliate program that works and preferably with a network?

Can't you make some creative yourself and add a deeplink, maybe by copying their logo or some graphics?
Regarding the phone number, I'm not sure that this would result in much leakage for this type of merchant?

well I would if they told me how to do a deeplink! I have been asking and asking them how to do text and deeplinks - since april, and still get no reply on this

They also told me my tracking id in an email, but this is different to what is shown on the banners! I asked which was correct, but again they haven't answered.
