New Program - TOSHIBA

[Andrew Copeland]

Hi all,

I am pleased to announce the launch of the Toshiba program on the Webgains network.

This will be a short running, super-hard hitting program. Customers signing up to the Toshiba newsletter stand the chance to win the new Toshiba Qosmio G30...one of the finest machines around.

Registration is quick and easy, only first name, last name and email address required.

Commission: 25p per registration (customers must opt in to the newsletter)

This program will close on 31/9/2006 so you need to get in now if you'd like to promote it.

Kind Regards

It's a nice promo in principle. The problem is with no text linking allowed the supplied links are near useless to us.
There's a choice of a multi line, poorly spaced js text unit which doesn't fit our site layout and two large creatives which are only fit for pop-ups.

The absolute minimum is a simple one line text link which allows CSS styling.

Hi,

Further creatives and text links will be available on Monday. As the program is running for such a short space of time, I thought it would be wise to launch with the program as is.

I will post a reply here once the additional links are up.

Have a good weekend all.

Just tried a test registration - I've received the email from Toshiba saying I've registered but no sale showing in my webgains stats?

Hi Keith,
Your transactions registered but was quarantined by our system. It should be in your account now.

This might be a good opportunity to let other affiliates know that sometimes we hold commissions in 'quarantine' if they don't meet our checks. It's always best to check with us first before assuming a program doesn't track correctly.

Cheers

Hi Ryan

Thanks for the explanation - I wasn't aware that you had a quarantine in place.

An idea for enhancement at some point might be for affiliates to at least be able to see the number of their transactions which are in quarantine - which would then reduce queries about tracking.

[Matthew Wood]

I'd second that Keith, we did a test transaction too but didn't show.

[Ryan Gilbert]

Point taken. We'll look into some possible solutions to this to keep you well informed.

Hi Ryan, this sounds a nice promotion.

but i m running a forum which does not allow JS and thought you were working on that and a basic HTML would be available by monday?

can you please let me know once this is sorted so i can make the post sticky.

update -

in fact, i have broken the codes from the big banner up. obviously i have kept the tracking link and re-hosted the image.

just did one test and it worked. so get promoting, sent a newsletter out just now and waiting excitingly for the result (exciting since i am still a newbie in the bussiness)

So if breaking the links down works then i would suggest you guys to fit it in your page that way!

Hi guys,

Regarding the HTML link for Toshiba, there is an email link available which will show the Toshiba creative using HTML rather than the Javascript used for standard creatives.

Could I ask that anyone wanting to use HTML creatives use the email link as the program is run through a second tracking system in the background. Although editing the links will still track through Webgains, it may not track correctly through the other tracking system.

I am still waiting on different sized creatives to be provided. Once I receive them, I will make them available in HTML and Javascript formats.

Please feel free contact me if you have any questions. I will happily check any links that have been edited thus far to ensure they are running through both tracking systems.

Kind Regards
