new otherlandtoys website launch

otherlandtoys · 18-09-03

Hi, this is just a quick post to announce that we have relaunched our website.

We have added a whole set of new features and products, designed to offer a better shopping experience- and improve conversion rates!

The old site and web pages are still live and available and customers can still shop there- so all your links and banners are still valid.

However, we highly recommend changing the links to the new site as soon as you can.

Big plans for the affiliate program, including dynamic content for affiliates, category builders as well as a "shop for product links" system and a site search affiliate system due in the next few weeks.

Please also email me any wish lists you would like our programmer to include in our new programme.

If you would like to join the link is :

Feedback and comments welcome as always.

Love the new look site, I must say. Very impressive.

Pity you only track repeat sales via cookies. If you had database-tracking for repeat orders, you'd have a lot more affiliates sign-up.

9,999 day cookies is impressive, but people delete cookies, change computers etc.

Good luck with the new site

Azam, totally agree.

Once you get a customer, any further sales should be attributed to yourself, such as how Telecom plus operate.

Nice one Adam!
I much prefer the new site - love the Lord of the rings jewellery, not cheap though! It all looks great apart from the distorted preview pics.
I can't find a few products which are still available on the old site on the new site but I've just swapped them for other products.
Looking forward to seeing if the traffic converts better than the old site, which was pretty poor. Are conversion rates your end improving now?
As an affiliate the residual income schemes emerging are more attractive than long cookies but we can't knock 9999 days. A CSV feed would be useful.

Thank you all for the comments on the new site. We have been really busy lately with so many changes- not had time to post to the forum until the weekend!

We have just added a huge amount of new products to the site (we now have over 350 items)- so if you havent looked in a while check out the what's new link here:

We have worked on improving the preview pics as mentioned by renegade's post- this is work in progress- we still have more to complete.

The big news though is the functionality updates to make the creation of links easier as explained here:

Easy linking

Now we have made it even easier for you to create links, we have made a unique system that lets you browse our site and click on the special links to display a popup box with the code needed to display content in an easy cut and paste format.

These will provide you with the linking code for:

Product Links
2 types of product link with short description and image
Banner links
Product Descriptions
Category Pages
Category Menu
Search box
In order to use this system, simply type in your affiliate username in the box below and click "Easy links".
