So Friday the 21st

So yesterday Friday the 21st I get an email from a merchant who shall remain nameless or maybe I am posting in their forum hmm not sure who runs an internal affiliate program.

The email says on the 1st of January they are changing the way they track their affiliates (internal) and that I need to change the linking code for all the links.

Mind you there are over 5,000 links and they give us 10 days warning during the Holiday Season.

They did have one of the best AMs though but he departed the company last month.

I don't have to worry about it. I have enough respect for my site visitors' human dignity, not to subject them to this kind of stuff.

If you've ever ordered anything from them you'd know what I'm talking about.

are you in the internal program or the CJ program?

In the email they say they are changing the way they track affiliate links and that they need to be changed to track correctly.
