Reconciliation Books Direct
==========================
THIS IS YOUR THIRD MAIL REGARDING THIS. I CANNOT STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS.
==========================

Dear Books Direct Affiliate,
You may recall a correspondence recently from us informing you about our planned reconciliation of successful sales on the TradeDoubler platform.

Basically, in the past we have credited sales in real time on your account and didn't subsequently debit the unsuccessful sales. We do have a percentage of sales which for various reasons result in unsuccessful memberships and we must account for these.

We have appended a reconciliation identifier to all URLs so that we can assess which sales are successful and which aren't. An example of this might be:
Old Link: www.mango.co.uk/afftioli2
New Link: www.mango.co.uk/afftioli2/?aff_id=TD (identifier)

You MUST have the new url was the target url on ALL your creatives/text links and e-shots with the aff_id=TD on the end. If you haven't updated Books Direct creatives in some time, you may have the wrong target url attached to them.

Banners that have been automatically refreshed will be correct. If you are in doubt, please test all your links to ensure they link to the correct URL for EACH club that you promote.

I will be emailing you again prior to Christmas to remind you of this, but please be aware that as of 1st of January 2003, if you do not have the correct url, you won't go through our reconciliation process and as a result will NOT get your commissions.

With the correct code in place, you will still be rewarded your usual commission from the 1st of January for all SUCCESSFUL applications.

Thank you for your continued promotion of our clubs.

Kind Regards

The Books Direct Team.

Dear Affiliate,
* Just a note about our Reconciliation Process.

The Books Direct Program is introducing a reconciliation process whereby the affiliate will be paid for ALL SUCCESSFUL book club applications which pass the Books Direct screening process.
A SUCCESSFUL book club application means a completed (i.e. once confirmation page is displayed) online application on one of Books Direct new member recruitment sites for membership of a Books Direct club from visitors who arrived on a Books Direct new member recruitment site directly from an Affiliate site and excludes applications rejected by Books Direct's screening process (e.g. duplicate users, those which are not UK based, those where registration fields have not been completed satisfactorily).
The reconciliation of applications will happen weekly and we will work to two weeks in arrears - meaning that affiliates will not be able to view applications in real time but rather every Friday the sales (applications) will be validated.
Therefore an application made on Friday 4th of Octoberwill be reconciled two weeks later, meaning that the affiliate can then view which applications have become SUCCESSFUL.

Thanks for your continued interest in Books Direct,
