I want to sign up for the program but if I can’t watch the videos I can’t do it. I’ve had top listings on all the major search engines for my keywords for 9 years now and do a nice little business with a product we own. I’d like to get into Web 2.0 because it’s now time.

Your program with Don looks great but not if I can’t see the videos. And I can’t find a support link.

The stop and pause are not working, and the embed codes still seem to not be usable.
The worst bug seems to be once you play with the widget, you don’t seem to be able to always get keyboard use back until I refreshed the screen. I could use the mouse to move my cursor to the comment box here on the blog post, but I couldn’t type anything – at least that happened a few times, it might be confusing for users.

The author clicks seem to set an appropriate cookie, but hopefully if a video is shared from an affiliate’s site, the cookies are also transferred.
I am not sure if that cookie was set based upon my site being registered as a referral source.

Just thought I’d let you know we’ve recently released a few improvements to the Flash player itself, and the affiliate linkage.

The improvements to the player are immediately visible, since those are fetched dynamically from the source. The newest feature is a ‘high-water mark’. Basically, if you leave a video in the middle, it will track how far into the video you were. When you return to the page, you’ll see a line on the ‘scrub bar’ showing your highest point of progress. There are move improvements in the pipe, and some of them are really going to be nice.

Also, if you create an affiliate link to a video, the embed code will be linked to your affliate code, not just to the original content provider. (you might need to reload before grabbing the embed code if you’ve just created a new affiliate link, due to the ajax… I’ll have to fix that)

Introducing our new Free IQ player! It’s got lots of new bells and whistles, and is the first player on the internet to directly incoporate e-commerce. Let us take you through the tour of: Our new “scrub bar” Volume controls……

As you know, I started working at Free IQ recently. We’re just about to release an updated video player (as in, my colleague is preparing the deployment package as I type this comment). The new player will be a big improvement on the old one, and does address some of your points. We’ll likely be making iterative releases which improve the player and the default embed code in the near future.

As far as the affiliate id for the embed goes, are you using the “direct publishing” feature to automagically treat all links referred to Free IQ from your site as affiliate links?
