Due to system issues with the Mobileshop system and Fonetasticmobile system, we are unable to record ad-tracks on telephone orders i'm afraid, this does not affect web orders and they will still be tracked as normal. If anyone has any further questions then give me a bell on 01427-892976

Another nail?

Chris

edit: Is it ad-tracks as in your code to see where sale came from or telephone orders altogether?

Id presume just the tracking bit.

PS whens payday? I think I had a sale or two when they were changing over.

Telephone orders are still tracked and the affiliates still have their own unique telephone number, the only thing that cannot be continued is the ad-track ID's on telephone orders, a small sacrafice to ensure that the affiil still gets telephone orders credited to them.
As i said in the news feed if anyone has any questions then please feel free to e-mail me at steve.ash (at) mobileshop.co.uk or call me on 01427-892976.

And to all those affils that had sales between 22nd and 30th April cheques are being posted tomorrow and god willing royal mail do their job will be with you on Saturday

As for Vermillion Skies payments - I spoke to Matt Smith yesterday and he says he is keeping with the T's & C's.

Meaning that we will receive payments for 22nd March to month end at the end of May.

I also heard that Russell is leaving VS tomorrow - any idea where he's off to?

Earning about 6p a click from the new programme. Bye bye.

1.7p per click here, but to be fair the results have probably been skewed by the reappearance of Fonetastic all over the SERPs.

However, stuff just isn't converting well even when the traffic is more targetted.

I think there's a couple of issues here - one is that I suspect that Fonetastic counts *everything* including bot visits as a click - if they could clean out the bots and make sure that all the reported visitors were real people that might help. As for the conversions.. well, I don't understand it at all.

A couple of days ago my daily traffic count was 5x normal volume - suggesting that bots are being counted - probably im my case Googlebot swallowing all the pages.

My conversion rate is in the range of my other mobile merchants at the moment - 0.5% - 1.5%.

Rejections are really reducing the EPC for me - currently running at about 50% across the board.

Plus the fact there are loads of mobile phone affiliates in the SERPS and PPC results now.

Some site called Dynamoos Moobiles keeps cropping up far too often for my liking - god knows who that is !

Must be someone passing themselves off as me. Tsk tsk.

I had a *big* surge of traffic on Sunday (which is an odd day for mobile phone traffic) at about 177% of my daily average - normally I'd expect about 60% on a Sunday. The traffic must have come from somewhere but I certainly can't see where.

50% rejection rate is about typical though I think.
