Hi Mary,
The 4 things I generally ask as being the basics for a GPTREM are those :
1. Finding before I sign up and certainly after I've signed-up what I am clicking for, what I am saving those cents for
Most of the CashCrusaders' sites redemption pages tell me : When you'll qualify for redemptions we'll tell you....... ahem...so, it's all a mystery, I am not allowed to plan it and know it in advance ?
2. Referrals showing as soon as possible and without additional steps.
We often don't know our referrals, so if webmasters don't tell them what to do, we don't see them and can't tell them.
I very seldomly use chains to join companies but for chainbuilders it would make things easier and give some incentives to join.
3. Links that works and load quickly
Well, I am a member of Meccoop, Coppers, Pocket and Golden.....can tell you, clicking on all those links is a nightmare because they very often don't work (Zeus, expired links, already seen links, keeping on asking me to login over and over again, just don't load etc...)!
4. Site that loads quickly for promotions of it.
I've seen several ads for CashCrusaders sites and I was paid for the ads before the site even loaded...so I didn't even see it in the 15/20/30 seconds waiting time...and I'm on cable and generally see the ads showing in the required time.
Same for promoting sites thruTraffic Exchangers.....they don't load quickly enough most of the time.
All additional features are welcome but for me those 4 are the basics for a nice site :-)
So, if something could be done, with the new tools, vacation button, inactives deleted without loosing their referrals, numbers of members showed, cheaters found easier etc...... then, CashCrusaders will really be great :-)
Mary, I trust you'll do something :-)))))
Chris,
> Uh oh, another thread about MyEcom, how long til this one gets closed?
Are you trying to make some troubles in this thread or ..... ?
I still am looking for the redemption possibilities at FastCashEmail...could you please show me where I can find it ? :-)
Thanks
Sophie
Sohpie, on the redeem pages
Mostly this is a case of the webmasters not editing the page for their own programs. Actually I am guilty of that on Key, I DO have 3 redemption options in that will show when you have the earning, (one is 1/10000th of a cent on any advertising, so should be showing for everyone) But I should edit the top part telling member the current redemptions. Basically a matter of the webmaster getting around to editing those besides learning the new admin.
link not found, link expired, is again the webmaster settings or mistakes, not the scripting,
Key links do not expire, nor I believe do Chris's site. The last, with Zeuss, is usually the server, already discussed Johns server luck

A referral will show once they log in or click a link. Now.. if they haven't done either of those things, chances are they are not earning you anything. Even to check stats and see who they referred will get them in the system. (Although I appreciate the need to know, not brushing it off honestly)
MOST of the complaints that are truly valid with MEC scripts are linked to the server problems john is having, not the actual scripting. Slow to load, the zeus error, these are the server, (unless a site is graphics heavy *whine, but I like my pretty key!*)
That has been a problem, and one that is being addressed by John, though I am sure we all wish it would be addressed stamped and delivered.

Most of us webmasters are learning the new admin as we go along as well, we do have to go through and redo things like redemptions. I am going to be doing the html and settings on 3 sites in the next few days, that will take me a while, and I am sure I will miss some things along the way (our members are fantastic at letting us know we have oopsed in a nice way)
Sophie, how often on each site do you have to log in? For me it is very very rare, perhaps once a week or less, but my setting about cookies etc may differ from other users. Wondering why some people have to do that more often than others.
