    Yawn Yawn Yawn …. One for as many years as it’s taken of promises to deliver this ‘new and improved’ affiliate system.

    I have no idea how much this new affiliate system cost, but bearing in mind it’s taken over 2 years to get this far, and PLEASE don’t start promising us improvements “in the next few months” (because I will use my experience of previous conversations and translate that to mean “a couple of years – maybe”) ….

    (MY SUGGESTIONS FOR THE INTERIM)

    … woudn’t it be better to either :-

    a) Get rid of the new system, go back to the old ReferSpot program (and add some new banners – which for me, was the only thing wrong with the old one)

    b) At least keep the Referspot affiliate system running (using current stats) – and maybe offer 35% for everyone (please don’t tell me that’s a MAJOR change cos I’ll just laugh).. until the new system is properly ready..

    On top of either of those suggestions..

    IF AND WHEN the new GrandPriveAffiliates site is ready – properly announce it via a Newsletter with instructions to affiliates – what should be done to migrate to the new system – like – how long will old links work and still be tracked – ideally forever – assuming there was some mapping in the first place).. and a quick ‘how to’ instructions on (lol) how to do things like..
    – get similar reports to what we could on referspot (by campaign for example – which can’t even be done now)
    – it seems the multiple login thing isn’t planned for the new one (that was a really nice feature of referspot).

    Overall – my only complaint with the Referspot site was the lack of new creatives/banners and the fact the main home page after login was also not maintained. I believe the tracking worked from what I could see and I was making money just fine.

    There is little point in using banners from the new system when they can’t be tracked.

    Things even seem to have gotten worse – i haven’t been able to get any reports for the last 3 weeks (and lets face it the new reports are not very ‘friendly’ – and of course take ages to load if they ever even do).

    Some other interesting points I noted:-
    – In the Total Report – both Big Dollar and South Beach Palace casino are included -although they are ‘separate’ ;) lol

    OK I think I’m done whining on this – I waited before posting (you’ll note Gordon ;) ) and now a month later – nada.. so here I am again..

    Can we just vote on my suggestions (if anyone agrees on either of course – and maybe Referspot/Grand Prive – wanting to satisfy their affiliates ;) might take one of those realistic options at least for the time being).

    Thanks for listening and sorry for those that fell asleep during ;)

    Happy Promoting ;)

    If the new system is causing us this much headache, can you even imagine what it is doing to them? While it would be nice to have reporting and banner access, I can’t complain that I have ever had a problem with Referspot and will hold patience a bit while they iron the kinks out.

    I won’t sit by quietly while they iron out the kinks that should have been well pressed to begin with BEFORE they went live with this mess of a program after all they had 2 yrs to perfect it!! Sorry but not knowing what I earned is not going to work and not getting paid for my work is not going to happen either, I cannot simply tell my bill collectors ohh well you see this program I usally earn my money with just cannot seem to total/payout my payment this month so ummm I can’t pay you either:confused:

    Thanks for your reply cagney12 – I’m glad to hear you’ve not had any problems. I’ve not generally had any major problems with the ‘older’ Referspot site – all I ever really had a problem with was the lack of ‘new banners’ on the old site.. Affiliate support / responses times of course are another matter but I’ll stay on topic like a good boy :)

    Either way – didn’t see a vote yet for option 3 – that would be your cue in support of holding and waiting ;)

    Cheers,
    Geno

    No….I am having problems with the new site just as everyone else, I believe I stated that it would be nice to have reporting and banner access, but due the past I have had with Referspot I would be patient…. I’m sure they are working hard to correct the problems.

    Cagney12 – Thanks for the vote of confidence. Believe me, we’re working hard at this.

    Sorry Gordon not having a personal go at you on this, but I have in the past given Referspot that vote and I got no where with it, I am aware your picking up and taking off where others left things but this new program is unacceptable even for 1 more day! We are running a business as well and to have broken tools is not going to be acceptable, what will happen is we will all go with a program that is working correctly for us. I hope you really do take this poll in consideration and go back to the old program while this is being tweaked.

    Cheers!
