Dear eBladeStore.com Associate,

We will be installing a new Affiliate software package to better serve you as well as administer. We will make the "switch" over to the new system on MAY 1, 2008.

IMPORTANT ISSUES YOU SHOULD KNOW

1. Because our existing software was developed over 7 years ago and the company who created it has sense "gone out of business", we are unable to transfer the existing statistics and commissions data over to our new system. You will be paid up through MAY 1, 2008 on the old system. After that, we will have a fresh new start.

2. After MAY 1, 2008, your existing affiliate links will no longer generate commissions. So, please sign up now through our new system here (see new program details below!). This will allow you to get familiar with the new system and start creating links on your website in advance (which should go live on MAY 1, 2008).

3. Commission Accelerator will still work the same. However, you will need to re-generate any product links you currently have on your website on or after MAY 1, 2008 to ensure you are using your new affiliate links.

NEW PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS AND FEATURES:

1. 10% Commission PLUS A 20% TIER COMMISSION on every sale that comes in from your downline! By promoting our affiliate program to other affiliates and having them signup "under you" through your alternative tier linking code, you will receive 20% commission on every sale your downline makes. As an example, if an affiliate in your downline receives a $20.00 commission, you will receive $4.00. This can really add up fast!

2. Anyone who signs up for the new program will receive a $10.00 Signup Bonus. This will be applied to the first commission payment of $25.00 or more.

3. Truly “static” links the search engines can index. This helps to ad more value to your web pages.

4. Flash banners are now supported. We will be adding multiple sized / eye-catching flash banners in the coming weeks!

5. New Text Ads. Looks like Google AdWords. Adjust the color scheme, height and width of a Text Ad to easily integrate with the look of your site!

6. HTML Page Ads – Copy/paste entire articles and product pages into the layout of your own website allowing you to keep the look and feel of your website, but accomplishing a much stronger conversion. Your affiliate link is automatically embedded into the HTML code.

7. Custom Links – Creating a custom link allows you to deliver traffic into any page of our website you want. You'll also be able to track the success of the link by adding a custom keyword to it.

8. CommissionStats - Download this Windows application from within your affiliate control panel.  CommissionStats is a Windows application you can install and use to check account statistics instantly, without even having to open a web browser.  You can create unlimited profiles for use with other affiliate accounts as well. System Requirements - Windows 98/ME, 2000 or XP (not yet 100% compatible with Microsoft Vista).

9. CommissionAlert – Download this Windows application from within your affiliate control panel and get desktop notifications when you generate new commissions.  This application runs as a Windows taskbar icon.  You can right-click this icon and log directly into your account(s). System Requirements - Windows 98/ME, 2000 or XP (not yet 100% compatible with Microsoft Vista).

Please contact Jason Morrow with any questions you may have. He will be glad to assist you in the move.
