I actually edited my post last night because I thought my language was a bit strong and because of all the programs I promote C. Blasters always was a straight shooter. They always pay, the dont make me fax and they are always on time.
All that good stuff above aside, they would have made huge brownie points with us if they had simply said, look guys, here we go in the transition, those who want to change your banners for 48 hours should do it while we make the change. As always we try to keep our affiliates 100% up to date so that you can continue to provide accurate information as always to your visitors.
When an affiliate gets 10k + unique visitors a day and we send them to the wrong place for 48hrs or to a casino that will not allow them to signup, it does effect our users minds about how accurate our sites are and how trustworthy our partners are.
If I have a forum and I post what a stand up group of casinos this is and how they are even going to the lengths of changing software platforms to continue doing business with them, this will encourage visitor signups.
If I send them blindly from a banner that advertises one casino to a completely different location, and when they get there they can’t signup, this is causing BIG credibility problems. They may even been keen enough to start wondering if their browser has been hi-jacked by those nasty casino affiliates using unscroupulous methods of getting biz. I for one dont want to be lumped in that group.
Many of my visitors are getting to blasters.allstar, etc thru links that are listed in lists of casinos that take us players. If they get there and cant signup, why are they going to keep trying my inaccurate list???
If I had 48 hours to try some microgaming casinos, I would have done it. RTG and micro don’t do well for me and I would have very much appreciated the time to test some waters rather than send my traffic to a hole.
