    What's happened to St Mackenzies?

    Does anyone know if St Mackenzies has changed it's affiliate program? I've just noticed that the affiliate galleries I was using from them no longer work:


    https://www.stmackenzies.com/free/65/?pa=2613286


    All so the homepage of their sites looks a lot different and there doesn't seem to be a CCBILL affiliate program anymore like there used to be.

      Thanks. I saw that but it's not a CCBILL affiliate program like it used to be. This the affiliate program now:

      https://affiliate.mymember.site/register

      It used to be a CCBILL affiliate program so they have changed it. I don't know when or if they e-mailed affiliates to let them know.

        Oh right, the last email I have from them is from January 23. No mention of affiliate program change, however this URL still works:

        https://stmackenziescash.com/

        Will most likely have to change links out from ccbill to this new mymembersite system which honestly, looks worse than ccbill I have no idea how.

          They have definitely got a new affiliate program so our CCBILL affiliate links won't be making us any money. The old CCBILL galleries are no longer there:

          https://stmackenziescash.com/fhg/

          The site doesn't even have a model menu now and there is no new content. It just seems they are updating with old content.

          On October 1st this year the site was still the same as it had been for many years:

          https://web.archive.org/web/20241001...ackenzies.com/

          Strange that since October 1st this year there have been no captures of the site by the Internet Archive (Way Back Machine).

          I'm ready to dump them. There is no way I'm going to sign up to another affiliate program.

            I was curious and checked the past year (2023-2024) stats for stmackenziescash on ccbill and notice there are still active rebills.

            I also decided to check my all time stats going back to 2014 and noticed a pretty healthy amount of rebills over the years. I suppose people really dig the whole schoolgirl/catholic school outfit genre but now they switched to mostly videos. Makes sense but I'm not sure about this affiliate program switch either.

            I suppose can't hurt to try it out but this newer platform leaves much to be desired.

              They sent an email on 1st Nov something to do with hosting problems. Seeing as CCBILL have royally screwed all us UK based affiliates, perhaps they are dropping ccbill too?

                That's good to know you're still getting rebills. Most likely you won't be getting any new sales if you're using the old CCBILL affiliate links they have. I'm just not going to promote them anymore. I can't even find a way to contact them on their site! It's a new site design they have and a new affiliate program using:

                https://mymember.site/

                One thing they have changed with this new design is to give the option of buying one particular video instead of joining the site:

                https://stmackenzies.com/videos/5-mi...um-for-teacher

                All the content seems to be actually quite new, shot over the last year. No photos like before, just video.

                But all the old clips they had are available to purchase at Clips4Sale:

                https://www.clips4sale.com/studio/68...oldest/Limit24

                Strange that they aren't on the actual site though.
                It's annoying that they never got in touch with affiliates to let them know of the changes. I had lots of their galleries posted which now don't work so I'm going to have to take them all down.

                  We got this email from them on November 1st:

                  "Dear Affiliate, You may have noticed that SMackenzies.com has recently changed its hosting platform. This change has resulted in some unforeseen issues with the StMackenziesCash.com affiliate site. We just wanted to ensure you that we are in the process of working out what changes this may have on our affiliate program and your affiliate links. We will be in contact soon with further information. Thank you for your understanding."

                    Thanks for letting me know that. Good that they emailed affiliates. Unfortunately I don't check most emails sent by sites I promote. I ought to start checking them in future.

                      Interesting, I can't seem to find this email at all, but I do believe you. It seems that it was sent fairly recently so the change must have just happened.

                        I can't find it either. I don't really check my affiliate emails but I've got copies of all emails sent for the last 4 months and can't find anything sent by StMackenziesCash.com. Seems like weren't one of the luck affiliates who got notified.

                          I've been in touch with Mackenzie and unfortunately she had to change to MyMemberSite due to hosting issues. StMackenzieCash and the existing promo material have been lost and she is working on some alternatives.

                          Memberships are still being processed through CCBill and I've been chatting with MyMemberSite about referral codes. They've made some changes so my understanding is that existing CCBill referral codes will pass the cookie correctly so we're credited for referrals. Just waiting on confirmation.

                          As for the site itself updates are still as they were in the past (12-13 a month) so that side of things remain the same.

                          I did receive the email as well. It was sent through the CCBill affiliate function which isn't all that reliable unfortunately (our program no longer uses it).

                            And just got a reply back from MyMemberSite confirming existing CCBill codes will work - "Their codes will continue to work as usual."
