Banners Served at Linkshare - All Dead

Freebie Hawk · #1 July 12th, 2004, 09:00 PM

Since Saturday sometime I have noticed that all banners served from Linkshare are not displaying. Links all work, but banners are missing.

And this has been tested on 3 ISP's and 3 separate computers with the same results...images of all sizes are not displayed from pretty much every merchant.

Anyone else noticing this? I am surprised it hasn't been posted already!

They are all wacky..they have something showing on my site that says AD RANK:8
Don't know if they are trying something new, but it isn't working...

I stopped letting LS serve banners directly awhile ago. They are always slow and buggy for me.

Which is too bad, some merchants have some good drms.

Hi all,

I am told that we upgraded the banner servers this weekend and there where some problems that QA missed that have since been resolved. We apologize for any trouble this may have caused but all should be fixed and the new servers are rockets so hopefully you will all see some signficant improvements.

Steve have your server folks work on Overstock's individual product link search function. Totally a waste of time for last 5 months.

Stephen I'm mike @ecomcity.com http://www.ecomcity.com/storeinf.htm I've hounded Overstock for month while trying to change out Out of Stock individual product links or just showcase new items in various categories.

Generic text or product title text, and even SKU#, searches take 10-15 minutes if they ever complete. I'm tried on both fraction T-1 line and cable modem. I challenged the 6 OS AM's to try the same and received silence. Obviously as other here had the same slow results the search fields function for OS is out of sync with LS's database.
