(sounds like that unanmed software group told them how this works)
I will most likely go through the effort of checking all my links and creating new campaigns and links for those that do not work, but I am keeping time/date stamped notes on when I performed this and have no plans to ever do it again. If I find in the future this happens to any group I have gone through this with, the links get REPLACED.
When affiliates must go through the hassle of replacing links....the key word is REPLACE.
Understand, I am not necessarily advocating anyone converting this group well should drop them, but based upon a few discussions with affiliates, EVERYONE that does promote them should check all their links, ESPECIALLY of the links you have had up are years old.
