.....for setting the gold standard on how to properly execute and notify affiliates of a program change.
Just got the below email which is 25 days before the switch. They've provided a link for affiliates to sign up with the new sponsor, are helping with redirects, and seem to be doing everything in their power to make sure the transition runs as smoothly as possible. All class. Nice work guys.
"Unfortunately today we have to notify affiliates that PumaSwede.com will be leaving the Blazingbucks affiliate program. This will take place on Nov 30th, 2011.
We are facilitating a redirect of inbound traffic links that are going to the standard "blazingpornstars.com" link codes that are currently used for affiliate traffic. The redirect will go to our site blazingpornstars.com and will continue to track and credit sales appropriately. However, a few years back, when we first started managing PumaSwede.com, the affiliate site link codes and also hosted gallery link codes were set to send traffic directly to pumaswede.com, those inbound links will be redirected to the new Pumaswede.com site which will be managed by http://www.vickyathome.com/stickydollars.htm
However, with that being said, we do need to associate your existing account with an account at http://www.vickyathome.com/stickydollars.htm If you already have an existing account, please contact me and provide me your account ID so we can facilitate a proper redirect. If you do not have an existing account, we are planning on creating accounts on your behalf, however, please know that this is not going to be applied to 100% of all accounts. We will do our best to insure that the majority of accounts that are sending traffic to pumaswede.com gets redirected appropriately."
