Hi, I just had the following email from Tradedoubler: Hi All, I am just wondering if all of my urls should have been changed on my site or does it really matter. Will the old one's still work. I don't really wanna go through the whole of my site changing each url, 1 by 1 as there are thousands. I have looked on there site and can't seem to find anymore information about this.
Nick at tradedoubler says - To confirm, the "old syntax" will never be phased out and will always work so you do not need to update to the new syntax. You can call them on 0207-798-5889 Hope this helps
Since when were tradedoubler affiliate links helping anybody in the serps? Since when were brackets a good thing to have in a URL?
I have just made changes to my crawling script as if merchants start using the new urls in their product datafeeds then my script will stop adding that merchants products to my site and will still crawl their datafeed information. It is a security thing I have in place. I have now changed it so that it will accept the old and new urls. So everything is now fine and thanks for the help.
