[Emma Delaforce]

Hi,

I am please to announce the launch of a new 3 month lead generation campaign on Webgains: Footy Tiles.

Footy Tiles is a new game designed to collect opt in data. People who sign up could win a HD-ready LCD TV plus Sky Subscription for a year! Prospects have to register and play the game. Each player then gets sent an email immediately which they need to click on to confirm their registration.

Ad text: Here's your chance to see picture clarity like you have never seen it before with our prize draw to win a superb Panasonic HD ready LCD TV - not only that, but we are also offering the lucky winner a year's subscription to Sky HD!

Terms: The closing date for the draw is the 21st January 2008. This prize draw is open to UK residents over the age of 18.
Prize winners will be selected randomly 24 hours after the closing date and contacted by phone or email.

Footy Tiles are paying affiliates £0.60 per lead on a 30 day cookie. The program will end 21st January 2008.

If you have any questions regarding this program, please do not hesitate to contact me.

For more information on the program and to join, please click here.

Shame no one proof read the creative

I'm pretty sure it's a Panasonic TV and not Pansonic.....

Thanks for the info Emma.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. There's just two that are misspelt, I will let the merchant know so we can get them fixed. Apologies.

[drivetowin]

No problem - thanks Emma

Is this tracking? Or is it just a badly thought out program?

1. Player has to do a game - which tbh isn't very clear
2. They play (which takes a few mins) and then registers
3. User has to activate to confirm entry

I've done this (but activated on a second PC - so may explain why it's not tracked) - but would like to know if anyone has seen leads?

Glad it wasn't just me Jason - must admit for a little while I couldn't fathom out the game at all - it's quite easy once you get the hang of it but it could do with being clearer. I can see a lot of people not understanding what to do and just hitting the back button

[loquax]

Did you get a lead to track though Keith? If you did, you're doing better than I am

Jason

[drivetowin]

Nope, didn't track for me either Jason.

[Emma Delaforce]

Hi,

We have had a few leads come through, but I'll double check to ensure tracking correctly.

[Emma Delaforce]

I've just done a test which tracked correctly, can you tell me what link and the exact process you went through please so I can replicate the problem? If you like you can pm or contact me directly if you prefer. Thanks for your help.

Hi Emma.

Not seen one lead for this at all... but that could be because it's an awful process (see above) to get the lead and/or it's not tracking.

I played the game/registered/confirmed email... the only "issue" is that I confirmed on another PC to the one I registered on... however, no leads to win a Panasonic TV is a bit odd.

Jason

[Emma Delaforce]

I must apologize, I had the program set to test for about an hour or so after it went live; so we have still captured the information - it just didn't show up in the account. It has been tracking correctly since then.

I will add the commissions earned in this period manually and email you when done. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any more concerns.

something must have gone wrong with the whole website, as I can't get the banner landing pages to open either. I'll ask Emma to look into this and keep you guys updated

thanks for bringing this up
