Can you turn them off as standard, and allow the option to turn on, as I can't really be arsed tweaking my settings anymore. I just wanted to set up and leave.
Looks like this can be done by switching to 2 clicks.
I queried this on the live support and the response was that messages are sent to the e-mail account in your settings, but I have never received the messages when I tested it. Therefore, I am using my own contact page atm.
Would appreciate this ASAP as it can be difficult to group products when the feed pulled in from the retailer is a single word!
I was in top 5 of google for the term 'chelsea shirt' and others such as 'bosingwa shirt'. Now, although my site is still in Google I am nowhere to be seen for these search terms.

My sales have died off now. Still getting clicks but no sales.
Is this an across the board thing, or are my names just no good?
I'm thinking about setting up a couple of sites with my own affiliatewindow links, just to make a comparison to see if it makes any difference. My unique visitors versus clicks on myaffsite is abysmal. 1000 uniques with 30 clicks so far this month. Only one sale. I'm on the one click system so would expect at least a 50% click through minimum. I'm not too worried about conversions, I'm expecting them to be really low, as normal, but the CTR worries me. If the visitors don't click through, I don't get my 30 day cookie. So they must be closing the site without clicking through. Why?
Getting the click through should be the easy part. On a normal aff site I would expect to convert minimum of 1-2% of visitors. If I can't do that then I'm wasting my time.
Perhaps the stats have been delayed.

Most new sites hit the front page of Google when they go live, they normally only last there 14 days max.

I just noticed the link in the footer of my sites "CLick here to run your own affiliate shop like this one"
When was this inserted? Thanks for letting the whole world know that it's an affiliate shop. Is it not enough for you to take a percentage, but you put a link on our pages too?

That's fair enough GreatestDomains. I've seen you online a few times now since I posted this query about the footer link, but you are choosing to ignore it. At least this shows where myaffsite customers stand. The least you can do is post here your justification for the links. Failing that I'm pulling all my sites from your program. I don't need a link in the footer telling the world my site is full of affiliate links.

No referral code is in the link. Even if it was, I wouldn't choose to have it in the footer of an affiliate site that I want to look like an online store. The link just seems to defeat the purpose of trying to hide the fact that we are pushing affiliate products. Might as well say in the header
"Buy something here, so the geezer that placed the links on this site can earn 10% of what you spend"
Great marketing material.
The link needs to be removed.
