Beta testers required for our free discount code websites

We are requiring some beta testers for our new service iCodes - The Discount Codes Network

Basically the service provides free websites (hosted by us) which contain discount codes which are updated by all publishers, networks and merchants invlolved.

Owning a discount code site will no longer be hard work to maintain, codes will be added instantly as they become available and will expire automatically on the entered expiry date.

All you need to do is enter your network id's and you will get commission for every single discount code on your site as each link will contain your affiliate id's.

You will be able to block merchants you are not signed upto from appearing on your site.

As soon as someone adds a new discount code it will instantly be on every iCodes publishers website.

If you enter an incorrect code, or incorrect details, the network or merchant involved can login and alter or delete whatever is needed.

You will also be able to make your site unique, add your own exclusive codes which will only display on your site, and plenty of other options will become available at a later date to help with seo and generally improve the your website.

Just to point out, the discount codes on the demo site are currently running from the pagerank10 voucher code database, when live, icodes will have its own fresh database created by icodes registered users.

I'm sure there's plenty to keep you occupied with this idea, but yet again another stroke of genius Lee - Well done :tup

We haven't yet approved any signups yet, just getting some things sorted first.

Thats a point... we need to inform of the approval process on the site and email, so people don't think they cannot login. :-)

We should be getting round to approving beta testers tomorrow, when your account is approved you will receive and email to let you know, you will then be=able to login and select your domain name inwhich your site will be setup.

Free sites are on subdomains e.g. example.icodes.co.uk and paid sites will be your own unique domain name. e.g. shopdiscountcodes.co.uk

You will then need to enter 9 affiliate id's in boxes provided.

affiliate window:
affiliate future:
buy.at:
trade doubler:
paid on results:
commission junction:
webgains:
silvertap:
linkshare:

Just leave blank the ones you are not signed upto (you can add them when you are)

You will then select the merchants from a drop down list that you want to be included on your site, and when a voucher code is released for them your site will include it.

The first beta testers will be required to help populate the database with some discount codes / titles / descriptions ,but this shouldn't take long at all. Once this is done its just a matter of adding the codes as they arrive... although in most cases you will notice the codes will already be on the site because someone else would have entered them up... (either us, a publisher, a network or a merchant)

It will be quicker than pagerank10 to enter codes (and that was easy enough), but unlike pagerank10, on icodes you dont have to enter any affiliate urls, all you need to do is, select merchant, enter discount code, select expiry date, type offer and description.

Then all you need to do is get traffic to your new discount code site.... that bit is lef to you :-)

Hi Lee,

Drop me a line and we can provide you with an XML feed of all our vouchers that you could intergrate directly into the site.

Thanks

Can you please email me at support@icodes.co.uk with your chosen url.

anything.icodes.co.uk

Im doing the first ones manually, this info will be on the regsiter form and will be done automatically at a later date.

At the moment we are just doing free sub domains until we decide on what to charge for top level domains.

If you have a relevant domain inwhich you want to use for this discount codes website (when we make this option available) you will need to alter your namesevers to...

ns0.phase8.net
ns1.phase8.net
ns2.phase8.net

We will then do the rest for you.

Lee
p.s. When ive set up the first 3 ill choose some more.. im just sticking to people I know of att he moment.

Hi James

Thanks, but its not the method we are choosing to use as it would not intergrate properly with the way the site / network works.

Cheers

Ive just started approving some more publishers (the ones with legit webaddress emails)

You can now login, but you will need to email me to request a subdomain.icodes.co.uk

You will then be able to view your site from your account by selecting 'my site'

Please note, some facilties are not yet available like site layout options and adding exclusive codes.

Later today we will be adding.

'Add Merchant', to do this you will need to...

Select Network
Type merchant name (automatically checks for duplicates)
Enter merchant id (automatcally checks for duplicates)

In 'add voucher code' - Show codes for each merchant selected already in the database .
This needs to be added because its a pain adding a code only to find out it wont accept it because its already listed.

Also, just to remind you the site is in VERY early stages, however, those of you who have applied and received a sub domain, and not doing anything with it (ie leaving it empty) will lose that sub domain until you apply and get accepted for another.
