Thanks Mogga,
I already spent a day going through and deciding which merchants my traffic would be doing to when / if Figleaves closes. Did that as soon as they started being "unreliable". Have already found two that work decently enough, BraStop and Simply Swim.
EPC's aren't as good as Figleaves at its best, but my organics are getting stronger all the time and I've managed to reduce my PPC costs by a healthy 60% and still getting decent traffic, so I am well prepared for a closure!
I won't be doing anything with my traffic though until someone can confirm that they are closing on TD for definate. Testing all new merchants would be a lot of work, and I want to avoid it as long as possibe due to current development projects.

Let's hope TD or Figleaves can clear this up today as the uncertainty doesn't do anybody any favours.
I didn't receive an email from anyone either:td
I hope this isn't the case as i've spent the last 2 weeks developing a new underware site and about 60% of the links were for figleaves:scared
What I found about figleaves was that they had a bigger range then anyone else, brastop does seem really good and I actually think their site looks better, but try finding another merchant other than figleaves that stocks a good range of anita bras for example is a nightmare.
From the brand range I have chosen my new site will go from 2 merchants to 5 just to cover everything, not good.
Against a really impressive rapid response from TD on this important issue.![]()
Good morning all!
Just to clarify Figleaves is not winding down or closing on TradeDoubler. We have recently won exclusivity which is why Linkshare is shutting down.
Thanks
