Blackpool Club Bingo downturn?

[matthewk]

Is anyone else promoting Blackpool Club Bingo and have noticed a massive downturn in players depositing?

[DioBach]

Having best month of the year so far with 'em - no downturn. You seen you need to change the tracking links now as well?

[Barry]

Are you guys promoting them through affutd.com?

I've experienced a massive difference, december i had great results, then i had an immediate decline from January, until now i've just stopped promoting them.

It seemed to tie in when webroute merged with william hill. I don't think it's anything to do with this new system although who can tell.

I've tried contacting them and they can't see any technical reason, so i'm at a bit of a loss really.

I just switched over to Aff Utd links yesterday - they've been tracking fine through the webroute links until now

[Barry]

Yeah I switched my links over yesterday too after fighting with the interface for a few minutes.

I did try giving William Hill a punt over Cheltenham but nothing tracked. I currently use dgm and have no problems getting leads daily with them - and I can't believe that there was not supposed to be an uplift during the race week rather than ditto.

As a test, I went to the extent of trying to deposit money on the site myself, i'm a web developer and I couldn't manage to make a deposit on the site, it wouldn't accept my card, then the online help didnt know why my card didnt work, the cashier was also blocked by my pop up blocker and when unblocking the pop up the whole site reloaded and took me out of the room. so I should imagine they lose a lot of conversions because of the sites poor usability.

It's interesting to know it's still working out ok for other affiliates, I think i might setup another affiliate account or perhaps promote it more actively now it's in the new affiliates united system.

Is there a general downturn in the UK bingo market right now? I heard from someone the other day that they thought this was the only area of online gambling that was actually showing effects of the credit crunch. Which has some logic attached to it. So maybe it's a general Bingo thing rather than just BC?

[matthewk]

I wouldn't say i've seen any difference, if anything the other sites I promote are doing better than ever. having said that i've only been doing this for 7 months.

It's very hard to measure what with the google changes.

Anyone know how to run a commission report on this lethargic monstrosity of a CMS?

Also anyone seen any difference in data since switching from old webroute links to AU? I'm struggling to be convinced all is as it was.

In short

No
and
Yes

I don't have much confidence in the new platform.

I have not been able to get a commission report either and have failed to get much information at all to be honest. The new platform is a little behind the times to say the least.

[loquax]

Bounce this back up... could someone from Aff United take some time to answer questions re: commission, commission reporting and tracking.

Kind of important issues for affiliates - and important for merchants too if they want to stay on affiliate sites.

[Barry]

I would second that.

Even a test lead to william hill did not track for me and when I have tried using affutd I have never seen a will hill account registered, which is a little surprising when I see around 5 - 10 a day with dgm on cpa between all their programs (sports,bingo,games etc).

Anyone from will hill out there want to work with me direct or affutd give me some feedback?

Now the bingo will hill has gone off dgm - I want to start making some money for my leads sent.

I have read somewhere that they are not responding to questions on forums.

I never touched them as they had the connection with the notorious Cpays. It seems I made a good choice.
