Just to warn you guys: The Hostgator affiliate service updated their system ( finally! ) but upon logging in, it seems like they have lost all of my information. I had to re-input all of my information, including my paypal account. When I looked at my stats and commissions, all of it was gone. I only had two payouts but a boatload of uniques over the last two weeks. I am pissed, but I am patient. Hopefully they will resolve this. Just wanted to let you guys know for anyone using the affiliate service.
Its really a bad news for affiliates if the HG has really lost the stats of visitors, because normally sales come from cookies only! If the record is lost the sales also be lost!
