Firefox Deeplink Generator - could an affiliate check this for me?

Constantly having problems with the AW Firefox FireAW deep link generator.

AW have been very helpful, but could an affiliate who uses the tool create a link to, for example:

Airport Transfers, Airport Taxis & Airport Shuttles | Holiday Taxis

And let me know if it works.

I get couldn't match this url to any AWin merchants. They are on AW.

Since no other threads appear on this I'm beginning to think I have downloaded a wonky FireAW. But would like an affiliate or two to check first.

That merchant not working for me. returns "Couldn't match this URL"

Others AW merchants I tested still working.

Had 5 or 6 merchants not worked recently but each fixed after AW support added domain to their system.

Thanks Gerry.

I'm experiencing exactly the same. Every few days I'm coming across a merchant that doesn't work while others work fine.

One or two have been working, but then stop working.

AW have fixed it each time, but when you want a link . . .

Also finding that the copy to clipboard function on the AW website doesn't work when you generate links there - if you don't notice it hasn't worked, you end up mistakenly using the link you wanted to turn into an affiliate link in the first place and that has no affiliate tracking code in it.

Hi Entrepreneur,

I have just added Holiday Taxis' domain on our system for you. FireAW should generate a deeplink now, if not, let me know and I'll look into it. If you know of any other merchant websites where you are having this problem, please provide me with their details and I'll add the domains on for you

Could you provide me with details of the browser you are using (version) and we'll investigate this issue for you tomorrow.

Hope this helps,

Thanks,

Many thanks Barinder.

That's FireAW now generating deeplinks for Holiday Taxis.

I'll let you know if I come across any other merchants, but I assumed all merchants' domains would be added as a matter of course to a tool like that.

I'm using Firefox 5.0.

When I try to create a deeplink via the AW website and click Copy Code To Clipboard, the link becomes highlighted, but it isn't being copied to the clipboard.

Hi Entrepreneur,

Normally all domains are added on as a matter of course but some older accounts are missing their domains.

In regards to the copy to clipboard issue, I have made our development team aware of this. I will update you as soon as I hear back from them. For the time being, I would suggesting copying the generated deeplink manually (right click > select all > copy).

Thanks,
Barinder
