Wow, this thread has got an unexpected turn.. When I saw the screenshot D. posted yesterday I thought it would be fun to see what happend there as most of us seen the strangest things happen to stats.. I was just wondering what the figures would be the 31st.
I just wanted to see if there were any updates today, but instead I had to read through 3 pages of discussion. And now I just have to post my thoughts on the subject and be a part of the derail of the topic. Well so be it.
Fist off I also have an account with GW, still getting clicks and an occasional deposit. It's not that I want the, but it's just that over time there are still active links online. And some I have no clue where they are. I've had similar experiences with a reputable program who asked me to change aff links for better tracking, but I have no idea where those links are. This just happens when you've been online and worked on different sites.
In regards to Robwins question on WHY one would even sign up at a rogue program I can only say that at the time I started as affiliate I had little clue about what was a good or bad programm. I just noticed lot's of players start playing in an online casino with a free chip. As they offer alot of these freebies, I figured it would be good to include these.
Now that I know better and learned from previous mistakes, I would never put GW on a premium spot. (and Daera wouldn't do this either) But you just can't prevent that some active link is on the web somewhere.
I think we all run our business different. One works on a big site and puts all his/her energy in this. There you would have a good idea on where active links are, although I could imagine if you have over 8000 pages you might miss a link when removing stuff.
Some set up alot of sites, perhaps to test something for google ranks, and might even forget about a site they have online and thus about the links that are online there.
I really doubt Daera started this thread to get involved in a discussion on why she got players at GW. I think she wanted to show what could happen to your stats and I think we should see this thread as a warning.
Just my 2 cents..
