Attention to all affiliates using WebAPI.

October 25th, 2008

We are adding password protection for API scripts. The reason- lots of unauthorized access attempts.

How it will work now.
On October 27th you will find a new section in Affiliate Tools called Display templates using WebAPI . Now in order to use the scripts described here you have to generate your own secure code. It’s generated simply by clicking on the generate button on the ‘Display templates using WebAPI’ page. The secure line of parameters that will be generated is unique for every affiliate and grants you access to the scripts.

Add this line to the end of your request when accessing TemplateMonster catalog via HTTP:http://www.templatemonster.com/webapi/templates_screenshots4.php?delim=|&from=12&to=30&
keyword=hosting&sort_by=price&currency=EUR&Your_line_goes_here

You don’t have to add your secure code to the end of request in case you are using XML API.

During the period from October 27th till November 24th you will be able to access the script both with and without your secure code. Those affiliates who won’t generate the code till November 24th won’t have access to the scripts accordingly.

Please update affiliate program info on your websites

October 1st, 2008

All the affiliates that use supervisor affiliate tools and show info about the program on their websites should please update this info according to new registration rules. Though the affiliate program still remains free, your “subaffiliates” can’t register without being approved by our managers so people visiting your websites and signing through you should be aware of this fact and expect this accordingly. We faced many situations when new affiliates thought they would be registered right away after receiving confirmation link which used to be the case till August this year. We ask all the affiliates to update this info on the websites in order to avoid any misunderstandings with your future “subaffiliates”.

Thanks,

Kara

Small api update

September 29th, 2008

The t_info.xml has been slightly modified. Now every <template> block starts from the new line, this shouldn’t influence the parsing though.

Templatereseller.org website and ready-made affiliate shops

September 9th, 2008

There lately have been confusion with affiliates buying our ready-made affiliate shops from Templatereseller.org.  We want to emphasize that our ready-made affiliate shops are available for FREE from the admin area of your affiliate account. The solutions offered by templatereseller.org are the exactly same website with no additional functionality but a bit amended in the code in order for them to offer it as some separate product. Templatereseller.org is not our partner, reseller whatever, just smart guys with the new way to make money from our affiliate program.

Presently after the new registration process was implemented, we do not accept affiliates who don’t have websites or have the coming soon websites. Buying the ready-made affiliate shops from templatereseller.org won’t help you, so please don’t.  If you are an affiliate- you can freely download and use them from your affiliate account, in case you plan to become an affilite but don’t have a website yet- better pay the fee the Templatereseller.org is asking for “their product” to your developer or some person to help you build a good website.

Sincerely,

Kara

We say “No” to open registration

July 31st, 2008

With our affiliate program started in 2003 and till now we had an open registration and we though this would benefit our affiliate community. By now, we have over 100 000 of affiliates registered but …90% of them just registered without any further actions, tried to sell for a month or simply uploaded the ready-made affiliate shop with the expectations it would start selling itself. Unfortunately, things are not that easy. Things need to be changed.

Having this in mind, we decided to take this step. During the next week we are going to cancel the open registration of affiliates, all the new affiliates who would like to register will be reviewed and only those people/companies having set websites and good website designs and ready to add something new to our system will be approved to register.  Affiliate program will still remain free. Quality will be our main and the only principle.

After the test period and different types of updates inside the affiliate system we hope to built a strong affiliate community of those who are willing to sell our products and make it in professional manner.

Saying this all… let’s do it!
