Not happy about redirecting affiliate links to Kelkoo

**Leeky** · 26-10-11

Why redirect affiliate links to Kelkoo?

e.g. Extreme Pie (merchant id 2243) as confirmed by logo using this id..
http://www.webgains.com/logos/showlo...rogram_id=2243

Redirects to Kelkoo..
Fashion & Lingerie | Buy Fashion & Lingerie - Kelkoo

It now appears Extreme Pie now have an id 5636 so did they close and re-open giving them this new id?

I didn't think Kelkoo is even on webgains so makes it even more confusing as to the reasoning behind it?

Hey Lee,

The Extreme Pie program closed with us on 3rd March 2011 they then re-launched on 15th September 2011.

It appears I forgot to re-direct the traffic from the old program to the new one, this has now been resolved.

The traffic was re-directed to kelkoo In an effort to ensure that consumers received a wider choice of product, rather than redirecting traffic to another Webgains merchant, we have redirected the clicks to Kelkoo who offer a number of products.

If you have any further queries or issues do let me know.

It would have been much better to redirect to another similar merchant on webgains using our affiliate id, or even to the merchant using a direct link to keep the visitors happy. Instead you redirect our traffic to another affiliates website... kelkoo is basically just an affiliate is it not?
