Exclamation Problem - can NOT add additional sites

And doing updates this weekend!

Clicking on add site, entering the iinformation - it does not add the site, it replaces the first site - the one that already has links up.

What's up? Need to sign up for each site or is something not working right?

Yikes! I'm sorry for the late response then! I hope this didn't cause many delays. We're getting it checked over right now by our tech team. In the meantime, you can just register your first site, and simply use that account for all of your sites.

If you're looking to track each site individually for your records, you can do so through the section of our tracking url &tracking=. There you can insert whatever you need to identify each site.

I'm sorry about the delay, and we'll get this straightened out asap!

No problem Brian, I didn't expect a reply over the weekend, but posted in advance figuring it was a tech issue that did need attention and figured on a reply some time Monday.

I think the major issue with having sites listed, in my case as probably with others, is that different sites target entirely different niches. So it's easy to figure which site is being tracked for different merchants (in this case) - but in the event that merchants look at listed partner sites to accept or deny participation, it may be a totally off-topic site that's showing up when there's another that's right on target. So that's why it's important that they all show up IMHO.

Does what comes after the &tracking have to be in quotes or not? Like &tracking="widgets" or &tracking=widgets? I wondered the same thing about specific page links, and those seem to work with no quotes used for the page URL.

That will come in handy even on the same site for the same merchant; if there are different products being sold, it'll help to know which products/pages are getting the attention, and in the case of conversions, figure out which ones move the best.

No time lost, and thanks for the reply!

Ah, definitely understand that aspect. Some of our merchants like to check up and see where traffic is being sent from. Hopefully our tech guys will get that all setup asap! But yeah, you can just sign up with a single site at first, and once that's all fixed you can go in and add your other sites. =)

Regarding the tracking portion of our tracking url, you don't need to add quotes around widgets, you can simply put &tracking=widgets. Exactly the same way you don't put quotes around the deeplink.

Cheers!
