I don’t think there is a program around that has started a new affiliate site that didn’t go thru major headaches, VP/GSN included. I’m sure they will get it ironed out, it apparently takes time. I have gotten response to me email concerns with no problem, and credit them for that! I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes and going thru this mess….
maybe, maybe not (brightshare managed to upgrade their stats without hickups, actionpoker also managed to do this w/o tracking issues, wagerjunction managed fine when they moved to playtechs, i’m sure there are more). i don’t think you can justify “major headaches” by costing me hundreds if not thousands of dollars. and i’m not willing to be the guinea pig they signed me up to be. it’s not like its the first time this kind of stuff is happening (in terms of programs upgrading their affiliate backend). forgive me, but they are not inventing the bicycle here, instead doing what has been done before on more than one occassion.
the fact that many programs experience problems when they implement new stats is apparent, however this should NOT be an industry standard. on the contrary, such ‘fuckups’ should be the exception to the norm, which is not what it is right now.
anyways, i have emailed kirsten a few days ago with my questions and still waiting for her reply. will base any further decisions on her comments.
