Betfair - site change so aff codes change ??

[scrawnybob]

hi all

I've never had a bean from BetFair and no way of knowing how I'm doing as they dont do stats but I've just read that they have changed site and are nolonger in same network

nice of their aff dept to mention it - but they're impossible to get hold of anyway - I'm just about ready to drop them

but out of interest is anyone promoting them ?

and are the banners / link codes still working - at least in theory tracking to the new site etc ?

I really appreciate some feedback as getting anything from them is just about impossible

they should be a good room for UK promotion but I guess they really dont
value the affiliate route

cheers scrawnybob

they work through "brand conversion" now. I think the old banners and codes still work though.

I just started promoting them through brandconversion. No results to report yet they are only marketed on my small sites which are still only at a handful of visitors per day.

i've had a few clicks, but no registrations as of yet. The new banners look nice and i've noticed a jump in click throughs.

I was looking at this site yesterday and noticed that they accept Paypal from certain countries for deposit. Anyone know how they can do this?

[haynesey]

I've got a site based around it
www.paypalpoker.net

I think only european sites can offer this. Ladbrokes, Betfair & most recently bwin poker, all offer paypal as a means of depositing.

hi

cheers all for the feedback - looks like changing to brandconversion is the answer on alot of fronts -

sounds like I'll actually get stats to see how its going and if changes help etc and maybe even some line of communication

cheers - I'll get my banners over to then ASAP

It seems to be such a heavily advertised brand in UK mags that there must be some players in it -

The software they've changed to isnt on a network as I understand it - whats it like ? have they taken a hit on player number now their not in Crypto ?

cheers scrawnybob

They are doing really good for a standalone site, nice software and decent game traffic. This is why i started promoting them now.
Not sure if I got an affiliate manager who was just ultra strict or what but I was told I could only link to them on sites that don't market at all to USA players which did limit where I could promote them.

i haven't ever needed to contact brand conversion, but on the other affiliate service they used i couldnt get a reply EVER.
I hope replys are easier to get with brand conversion

Brand conversions seem pretty responsive in my experience. Catherine has got back to me within an hour whenever i've had need to email her.

Has anyone had a conversion yet? not sure how often the sign up stats get updated.
