http://www.shopwindow.com/product.php?p=483838&c=477 - look at the graphic and it shows a discount - what is being discounted? Click through and you see the product with no reference to discount, SRP, previous price, etc, etc.

As far as I can see displaying this graphic without the appropriate and relevant words breaches just about every advertising standard that you could think of. As we (affiliates) are being fed this garbage and it is us who is displaying what I consider to be illegal advertising then it is us who could face prosecution for misleading adverting.

Digiwin - please investigate this matter with your legal advisors and advise us all ASAP as to an appropriate legal disclaimer for our sites such that we can pass on any possible claims against us to you! You can then pass them on to the relevant merchant, no doubt. Forgive the pun, but our sites appear to be Screwed and you need to Fix it!

The above is just one example of many.

Hi there,

I have raised this issue with the account manager for the program. I have explained that this needs to be corrected as a matter of urgency and await a response.

Will keep you informed of my progress,

Adrian :)

Hi Paul,

I'm told that this has been sorted now. The item you mentioned has indeed been altered (you may need to clear your browser) and I am told this is the case for the other products too.

Please can you confirm this? If not please send me further examples of the problem.

Cheers,

Adrian :p

Thanks Adrian - it looks like they have amended the landing pages to show the 'WAS" price for those products with the percentage and cash discount!

Good result.
