Has anybody elses white label disappeared?

Seems for the last couple of days that ours is returning an error - great for conversions!

ERROR: get_template() failure: [/home/mshop/platform/includes/templates/default/indexbanners/]

Hi,

We have now sent 4 emails (3 were forwarded versions of the first) to ro-eye regarding the change to urls on the fonetastic white label sites.

We have been deep linking our whitelabel for over 5 years and suddenly, without warning, mobileshop have changed all of the urls.

Can somebody please advise?

Regards,

Andrew,

Apologies for the delay.

URLs were changed in May and all affiliates should have been notified in advance.

All FTM affiliates were sent the following:
http://www.mobileshop.com/affiliates...ash020507.html

As mentioned in my email, Chris who managed this at the time has left but from what I can see, the mail above about updates was sent out.

I have emailed you regarding this so take a look and get back to me,

Thanks
Matt

hi Matt

Further to your response and email we have just tested the system only to find out that MS are actually inserting MobileShop.com in the DYNATITLE of ALL pages !!!

What a farce !

There are no "extra seo tools" available to affiliates since the May email either.

We have already turned off their AF program due to the amount of ridiculous reasons for sale deletions and now they are taking the p**s with this one.

Plus they never compensated affiliates on AF after 'cutting out' ro-eye and taking the program in-house. (They did on DGM)

Reminds me of the SmartEngine days - Goodbye MobileShop and Fonetastic

The crappest commissions in the industry and they still felt they should cancel leads.

Andrew,

I agree with you and totally understand your frustrations.

R.O.EYE have the affiliates best interests at heart, but all we can do is make recommendations to a merchant whose affiliate programme has become increasingly distant from us in the past few months.

I have spoken to Mobileshop about the SEO on Fonetastic and passed on your comments along with some of my own.

As you mentioned, we are no longer involved in the AF and DGM programmes so I can't really say what is happening there. The best I can do on the validations and compensation issue on AF is to forward this thread onto them and highlight affiliates' concern.
