Hey everyone,
Here’s a list of the issues that were tackled in our lastest update:
Bloggers will not be assigned a link when looking at an opportunity’s detail page, since this was causing some confusion when bloggers would see one link on the detail page a different one when submitting their posts. Instead, you will only receive the link once you have reserved the opportunity.
On that note, you’ll notice that the “Take This Opportunity” button has been renamed to “Reserve This Opportunity.” If you click this button, you’ll be prompted to answer a CAPTCHA in order to reserve the opp. This helps keep automated bots and scripts from reserving opps, and keeps things fair for everyone.
Some new users were having problems receiving confirmation e-mails, and were unable to validate their accounts. This has been fixed.
Once a blogger accepts a PPP Direct offer, they must submit a post within 4 days, or the offer will be canceled automatically. Bloggers will receive e-mails after 2 and 3 days warning them that their offers will be canceled. If an offer is automatically canceled, the blogger and advertiser both receive e-mails letting them know.
The ranking system was returning inaccurate Alexa and PageRank numbers for some blogs. It’s been fixed.
Finally, many bloggers were having problems with segmentation locking them out of opportunities at midnight (EST). Many of you night-owls out there will be overjoyed to know that this has been fixed.
