  1. Alain, I've had time to think about it and you are absolutely correct. My initial reaction was of surprise that so many of the affiiate referrals are coming from search engines. But you are right about the advantage gained in the search engines so I shall accept it the way it is. :)
  2. Here's an example from MSN: The top left is my site (without any affiliate id) so I guess MSN spidered that correctly. The one next to it is also my site but this has an affiliate id - so I guess it was spidered from an affiliate. But the visitor isn't coming from an affiliate so I don't think the affiliate should be credited for the sale. They are not coming from an affiliate banner on an affiliate site so I don't think this is fair (and is potentially costing me a fortune). I wouldn't mind if the search result had taken the visitor to the affiliate site and then the visitor decided to visit my site through a banner but this seems like cutting out the affiliate and still paying them for something they didn't do.
  3. I have discovered a nasty little problem with OSC-AFfiliate and I can't believe no-one has mentioned it before (sorry if you have and I've missed it). I've noticed that a lot of my products listed in search engines have one of my affiliates references in the link, e.g. MSN lists one of my products with the following link: http://.../product_info.php?ref=7&products_id=210&affiliate_banner_id=1 This means I've been merrily crediting affiliates for sales they haven't produced. Is there anyway of checking to see if the referrer is a search engine and then change or remove the reference before anything is credited to the wrong person? Your thoughts and help would be appreciated.
  4. Did anyone ever get osc-affiliate to work with Worldpay?
  5. Does anyone have this wonderful affiliate program working correctly with payments made using Worldpay? I have only just noticed that if a customer pays using Worldpay, nothing is being attributed to my affiliates. I noticed that this was also a problem with Paypal so assume it is along the same lines. If anyone has a fix I would be grateful, as would my affiliates :wink: Thanks
  6. Thanks Robert, I'll give it a try and let you know what happens.
  7. Is there a problem with tracking pages which have an apostrophe in the title? Somebody went to a page on my site and got the following error: The title was Men's Leather Wallet. I have since taken out the apostrophe and it appears to be ok now.
  8. Take a look at http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...ions,871/page,8 This is probably what you are after.
