For example, the statistical reporting tools are more advanced, allowing you to run customised reports on any date range. Have a browse through the different areas of the site, and let us know what you think.br>

Payments This Week

For those of you awaiting payments, they are currently being processed, and will be transferred to your bank accounts this week. These will be for the commissions you have earned through the end of April 2001. New affiliates - please make sure you have entered your correct bank account number and sort code in your Tradedoubler information.

As a rule, payments are made during the last week of every second month. While we are a little late this time - and we do apologise - it is part of the transition to the site upgrade.

JavaScript Links Alternative
A few of you have written in to ask if the new JavaScript links are the only way to link, and if the old links will continue to work. The old links will in fact continue to work for the foreseeable future, though we would encourage you to start using the new links. The JavaScript links give you the added benefit of impression tracking, allowing you to see the number of times a merchant's banner was displayed. This is a useful statistic when compared with the number of Unique Visitors you are generating and the subsequent conversion rates to Leads and Sales.

For those of you who for whatever reason can't or won't use JavaScript links on your sites, you can adapt the HTML text link given at the bottom of each merchant's program description page for use as a banner or button link. Simply replace the text with an image reference. Watch the InfoCentre for more details and instructions soon.
