Commission Payout Change
We are pleased to announce that our payout facilities have now been enhanced in order to pay out commission more efficiently. As of the 1st of May 2008 we will be using the information provided by you on your main account payout settings, and not on the sites themselves when processing commission payouts. It is important that you check that the information is correct on your main account as this could affect your commission payment.
To check your current payout settings, simply login to your main account then go to General --> Payout Settings.
If you do not currently have a main account or if you have sites with us that are not included on a main account then you will need to either create a new main account or move any sites you have with us onto a main account. If you need help doing this then please contact us.
For webmasters who currently have different payment options for each site you will need to create new individual main accounts for each site you wish to have different payment methods on.
My Partners
You will notice that there is a new area in your statistics section called "My Partners". We have added our affiliate system features onto your main account to make it easier for you to manage your DIY-Dating partners (affiliates) and to combine your commission payments into one payment. For each person your refer to DIY-Dating you earn 10% commission on sales made on all sites within a partners account.
Please note that existing affiliate account holders should continue to use their affiliate accounts for managing their current affiliates. If you wish to use the new partner system for future partner signups please make sure that there is NO affiliate ID in your sites advanced settings. As a result of adding the My Partners feature, the existing Partner Program will be renamed to Referral Program.
Statistics Moved
You will notice that some of your statistics have been removed from within your site area. These statistics have now been moved onto the main account statistics area with individual statistics filters added for each site. This will allow you to look at the statistics for each site on your account without having to log into each one.
Enhanced referrers
The referrers statistics information has now been enhanced, the referrers now show you additional information for Hits by Country. This allows you to see what county your traffic is originating from.
New Payout information
On the bottom of the General --> Upgrade Stats page you will now find information on your next payout date and next payout amount, as well as a total outstanding (unpaid) commission amount.
Google Analytics
We have made it even easier to add google analytics tracking to your websites, simply login to the site you wish to add analytics tracking to and then go to General --> Advanced settings and paste your analytics code into the google analytics box.
