California Nexus Law Repeal through September 2012

This afternoon Governor Jerry Brown signed AB 155 which repeals affiliate nexus legislation through September 15, 2012.  Amazon and many other out-of-state retailers who severed affiliate relationships with California residents when the original bill passed this summer plan to reinstate.  If you wish to reinstate your deactivated relationships with California residents you may do so via the platform. Visit the Publishers tab, select "deactivated" in the Relationship Status dropdown box and then select "California" in the Location dropdown. You will then see a 'reactivate' button for each of your deactivated relationships.

System maintenance from Sept 19-22

We are nearing the final stages of retiring our legacy systems and moving all Google Affiliate Network functions to Google systems. You have likely already noticed some of the changes associated with this process such as improvements to your account homepage, new reports, and faster-loading pages.  

In order to complete the final stages of migration, we will need to take the user interface down for maintenance from 8:00pm - 11:00pm CDT each evening from September 19th through September 22nd.  Please note that tracking will not be affected during these maintenance periods.

The releases taking place next week are important steps in completing our migration process and have been tested extensively by our engineering team.  However, if you notice any issues, or have any questions, please contact your account manager or send us an email at affiliate-migration@google.com.
