As you will already have heard, Grand Monaco will be branded and launched as Grand Mondial on August 14th, 2007. To make the transition as simple and effective as possible for you, we have already activated the grandmondial.com domain, which means that you can begin editing all existing Grand Monaco links and image sources now, instead of at the very last minute.
====================================
WHAT MUST I DO?
Although the move from Grand Monaco to Grand Mondial is essentially a rebranding exercise, the need to move to a new domain will obviously require some changes to be made on your side.
Affiliate Links
First and foremost, you will need to change any existing affiliate links to Grand Monaco you may have on your website(s).
Your current affiliate links will look something like this:
http://g3.grandmonaco.com/href.g3?ai=XXXXX
All you have to do is change the grandmonaco.com domain reference to grandmondial.com, and we’ll take care of the rest. Your updated links should now look like this:
http://g3.grandmondial.com/href.g3?ai=XXXXX
Any players referred through these links will, as always, be linked to your affiliate account, and you will continue to earn commission on any revenue generated by those players.
Up until Grand Mondial is launched, these links will seamlessly redirect through to Grand Monaco. As far as your visitors are concerned, they will click on a Grand Monaco banner or text link and go to the Grand Monaco website. And, when Grand Mondial launches, you will already have the correct links on your website, thereby negating the need for any further edits on your part!
Banners
If you’re utilizing banners that are served by G3 Partner, then you will also need to change any grandmonaco.com domain reference to grandmondial.com. The banners on your website will not change, although we will replace the Grand Monaco banners with Grand Mondial banners of the same size and a similar style once it is launched. This will save you a lot of time and energy!
You will need to edit the image source in the banner code(s) you have on your website(s). The image source in your source code will look like this:
http://g3.grandmonaco.com/src.g3?mi=123&ai=XXXXX
The updated banner image source code should now look like this:
http://g3.grandmondial.com/src.g3?mi=123&ai=XXXXX
NOTE: DO NOT change the Media ID number (the 3-digit number following the “mi=”)!
====================================
Please make the required changes to your website(s) as soon as possible, so that you are fully prepared for when Grand Mondial goes live. We will be running a great promotion from August 14th, 2007, which will give you the opportunity to earn some extra income, and you will need to have made the changes before then to be eligible.
If you have any questions, please contact your affiliate manager. We want you to take full advantage of this exciting change, and will do all we can to make the move as simple, painless and profitable for you as possible.
Regards,
Lawrence.
