A few linking questions

I have to agree. Most of the time the new banner codes lead to a blank page for me so i went back to the old codes. One way or the other its a great program and always has been!

Help us out Lloyd

Hi there!

Lots of very important questions – thank you.

Ok, let’s start with the redirect links:

If you are using the redirect link for All Slots, it should look like this:

<---a href="http://www.brightshare.com/clickscounter.php?compaign=93&groupid=0&bTag=as(yourafftag)&affid=(youraffid)"><--/a>

If you want to add a campaign id it can be a maximum of six digits long and must start with a letter. For example ‘q12345’

This is how you add it to your redirect link for All Slots:

<---a href="http://www.brightshare.com/clickscounter.php?compaign=93&groupid=0&bTag=as(yourafftag)q12345&affid=(youraffid)”><--/a>

Considerations regarding using our banner serving vs serving your own banners:

1. If we serve the banners you get full stats, i.e. also impressions.
2. Our banner server is hosted by one of the biggest Tier 1 Level hosting providers located in Canada. In the event of a failure in any pair of our banner servers, a reserve pair kicks in automatically to support the banner serving without any hiccups. In the case of a failure of the entire banner farm where we are located, our banner serving will be moved over to another banner farm within 30 minutes. Full details here: http://www.brightshare.com/bannersandclicks.php
3. We update the banners for you. MGS is releasing new games every month and we keep you promoting the fresh new games. We also update the casino headline promotion banners monthly. In addition, we update and refresh all our banners on an ongoing basis.

Using the banner codes:

1. You can’t edit the banner code to serve your own banners. If you select to serve your own banners then please: (1) Copy and paste the banner to your website. (2) Link the image to the appropriate casino redirect link. If you try editing the banner code to serve your own banners you will get a blank screen when you click on the image.
2. The only change you can make to the banner code is to add a campaign id and this is how you add it:

(I’m using an All Jackpots 125×125 banner for this example and campaign id ‘q12345’)

Option 1: HTML script in an iframe
<--iframe frameborder="0" width="125" height="125" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="No" src="http://www.brightshare.com/getbanner.php?compaign=83&groupid=3&bTag=aj(yourafftag)q12345&affid=(youraffid)”><--/iframe>

Option 2: Plain HTML script
<---a href="http://www.brightshare.com/clickscounter.php?compaign=83&groupid=3&bTag=aj(yourafftag)q12345&affid=(youraffid)” target=”_blank”><---img src="http://www.brightshare.com/impcounter.php?compaign=83&groupid=3&bTag=aj(yourafftag)q12345&affid=(youraffid)” border=”0″><--/a>

And yes, Ken, campaign is spelled wrong :flush: :blush:

In any case, it is always good practice to test all your new links and if anyone has a link that isn’t working please let me know at [email protected] or IM on [email protected] and I’ll check it for you right away.

Hope that answers some questions. Please feel free to publish all the issues you have.

Best regards,
Lloyd

Ken, my pleasure – thanks!

Thanks Carney I tried all our banners on http://www.onecentgambling.com and they worked for me. Which ones aren’t working now on your computer?

Best regards,
Lloyd

Hi Carney,

I noticed that you are using a combination of different codes for our banners. Like for All Jackpots you have combined the redirect link with the image part of the banner code. Please tell me which part of the code didn’t work for you. Also, did you try using the full banner codes for both the iframe and plain html options? Below are your banner codes for the All Jackpots banner you are using:

iframe version:
<---iframe frameborder="0" width="468" height="60" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="No" src="http://www.brightshare.com/getbanner.php?compaign=83&groupid=4&bTag=ajaff1222&affid=1320"><---/iframe>

Plain html version:
<---a href="http://www.brightshare.com/clickscounter.php?compaign=83&groupid=4&bTag=ajaff1222&affid=1320" target="_blank"><---img src="http://www.brightshare.com/impcounter.php?compaign=83&groupid=4&bTag=ajaff1222&affid=1320" border="0"><---/a>

Please try both codes and if both of them don’t work for you please tell me which part is giving you trouble.

Thanks!

Best regards,
Lloyd

hey Lloyd,

i’m just thinking, although I’m going thru and changing, it would be damn wise to go ahead and create that folder named compaign / or landing page I guess is what i should call it.

that’s what I always do when I figure out that I mispelled something, is if i’ve already got a bunch of links coming in to that mispelled word landing page; is to make sure there is something at that place for the surfer to see; rather than trust my front page to make all the necessary changes.

seriously. how much trouble could it possibly be to create that landing page?

Hi there

Carney, thanks. Can you please possibly setup a hidden page with a sample of one plain html banner code for each of our casinos and then I can ask our web developers to check it out?

Steve, good to hear from you. What landing pages do you want me to make up?

Best regards,
Lloyd

P.S. I’m on vacation in New England, visiting my inlaws for the rest of the month. We are planning I few trips – Maine, Vermont – lots of fun So, replies may be a little slower than usual. But please keep posting as usual. Take care and have a great summer!

What landing pages do you want me to make up?

Hi Lloyd.

okay, now I may have this wrong, but I think this is how it works.

we have a mispelling of

compaign

which should be

campaign.

this is what is causing the blank page. if you fix the mispelling, then the casino’s home page does load. or it did for me anyway.

so that tells me that if it was fixed so that the landing page is “compaign” friendly, then it stands to reason that the casino home page would then show up.

does that make sense?

and if so;

well we all know how its seemingly impossible to get all your links switched around. there are always some that you miss for whatever reasons

and I would think it would be to your benefit Lloyd – if its not a lot of work and I don’t think it would be; to create landing page which can be accessed if someone uses the link with the word “compaign” in it, instead of counting on us to change literally 1000s of pages and have it all work like clock work.

heck I’d still be running those blank pages if not for Ken’s catch and I imagine there will be a ton of other affs out there who didn’t get the message…. know what I mean?

thankfully to Ken, whether or not you create those landing pages won’t effect me on a large basis but standing from your point of view Lloyd, I can see where it might be incredibly beneficial to make this work.

so you don’t have to create anything for me. but I’d sure consider creating it for your program’s benefit, and the benefit of the affs who still are unknowingly unable to send players to your casinos because of this mispelling.

everybody loses the way it is when they are taken to a blank page.
