 | Baffled by DGMPro |
So is DGMPro working or is it still in development? I’ve logged in a few times now and whilst the new interface is most certainly DGM I’m not so far convinced on the Pro part. Apart from the links not working (we’re now on s2d6.com urls which sound like a Star Wars extra) the interface is actually worse than the old DGM2 system.
The main problem with DGM2 was it was slow and stats were poor and it was outdated compared to other networks. So far DGMPro does not look like it will solve many issues other than stat reporting and given that this supposedly tested by affiliates to iron out bugs, all I can wonder is how the hell did they miss so many obvious things.
E.g. If you subscribe to a new merchant you can’t go from the newly subscribed page to that merchant page to obtain a link… why?? Surely that’s logical?
E.g. If you call up a text link why do i then have to select “get code” to get the text link - why can’t i just have the text link.
E.g. Why is the ‘Join campaigns’ section so horribly laid out!? Show the basics only with more information on deeper links.
E.g. Why are all their creatives seemingly in iframes?
E.g. Where’s my nwk code gone?
E.g. What the hell is the random= bit?
E.g. What is “Doll House” in the merchants categories?
Perhaps the above is being harsh especially as with the links not working you’d assume this system isn’t live. But if it is live then there’s still a lot of work to be done. A number of programs we promote have been switched from DGM over the last 12 months to other networks, and this new DGMPro in it’s current guise has done little to encourage any change in that policy.

agree with you 100%. They could of worked on the stat issue without all this hassle. It’s going to take a long time to change all those codes over, when they actually work. The DGM2 design is 1 million times better. I am not convinced this will work and I will be closing my account, especially as you say, they hardly have any merchants left and have gone down hill badly in the past 12 months. Come on DGM, concentrate on what matters not the design of your site, which in fairness is poor now.

Good call Jason. I’ve been getting increasingly annoyed with DGM in recent months. It seems that evewn the simple things are beyond them sometimes. Even things like communication.
