The affiliates are back and better! Rating Options

[elantragt]

Ok, here's the deal. I think you all know I turned to the affiliates as a way to get some funding for the site. The problem with the old affiliate setup was that it took extreme amounts of work and there were tons of glitches. Ultimately, it just didn't seem like it was worth all the work. And as you know I dropped the idea.

Well... I just found a way to not only make it easier to maintain and setup, but also a way to offer even better affiliate sites. A company basically runs the program for us. They take 25% of any commissions we generate but once setup, it's just much easier for me. I'll be doing a new affiliates page with links to many of the best retail sites online. Like before, you click the banner and if a purchase is made, the club gets some credit. Unlike before, there is way less hassle for me so I think this is the way to go.

Also, if there's a site or sites you like to shop at, make a post in this thread and let me know the site name and I'll try to add it.

Hopefully I'll have everything in place in the next few days.


Important

For the affiliate program to work:

1. You must allow cookies and have javascript enabled.
2. You need to turn off any ad blocking software.
3. You have to click an affiliate link or banner on EC first.
4. Once you're at a merchant's site you can't click any other (different site) link during that "session".
5. Items that were previously stored in your cart (lke at Amazon) don't get credited; only new items clicked during your current "session".

Not following the above "rules" will cause the sale to not be credited to EC.
