Is it worth switching to the new panel? What you risk and what you gain

Changes in affiliate platforms always spark discussions. Especially when they affect the panel where you work and earn daily. If you use MyLead, you’ve probably already heard about the new panel version, available since October 14, 2024, gradually replacing the older version. However, such migrations are not just cosmetic updates—they can impact your efficiency, conversion rates, and overall workflow.

It’s natural for any modification to raise questions and concerns. What if the program you rely on for earnings isn’t yet available in the new panel? Will your leads be tracked correctly? Will you lose access to essential features? These uncertainties make the decision to switch more complex.

In this article, we’ll explore the real challenges and concerns that may arise during the migration, as well as the benefits that come with it.

Access to programs you earned with in the old panel

One of the first concerns that arise with any major change to an affiliate platform is program availability. If you’ve spent months (or years) refining your strategy, perfecting your content, and maintaining steady traffic on your pages or campaigns, the thought of losing your best-performing offers is just not welcomed. What if your top-earning programs aren’t available in the new panel? Does that mean you’ll have to overhaul your entire strategy?

The good news is that MyLead didn’t proceed with the migration without addressing this issue. Most offers, especially those most popular among publishers, have already been transferred to the new panel. So, if you rely on widely used programs, you’ll likely see them as soon as you log in.

However, the migration hasn’t happened overnight. It’s an ongoing, gradual process, with new programs being added continuously. That means you might not immediately find a specific offer you’ve used before. What can you do in that case?

1. Check the panel updates – most programs have already been migrated, but the process is still ongoing. You can stay informed about newly added campaigns by visiting the Campaigns tab.

2. Request a program – if you notice an important program is missing, you can suggest adding it. To do this, go to your user panel, navigate to Affiliate Marketing, then Affiliate Campaigns, and click Add a new campaign.

3. Contact support – if you have concerns, the best approach is to reach out to MyLead directly to check when a specific program will become available.

Should you wait for your program to be transferred or switch to the new version now?

It depends. If most of your earnings come from a single program that hasn’t been transferred yet, it’s worth checking when it will be added. However, if you use multiple offers and most of them are already available in the new panel, switching might be the better option, especially since the new version will eventually become our go-to version.

What about visits, leads, and earnings?

This is one of the most critical aspects of any migration. After all, it’s not just about convenience but about ensuring you’re properly compensated for your work. If you have active campaigns, the last thing you want is for leads to stop tracking or for payout errors to occur. So, is there any risk of losing commissions?

Let’s start with the fact that the lead tracking mechanism in the new panel operates on a separate tracking system that uses new affiliate domains. This means that programs in the new version require separate links and individual promotions, but the tracking itself works the same way.

At the same time, the older version of the panel continues to function without any changes. So, if you’re using those offers, leads are tracked according to the existing rules.

Tracking issues?

From the very beginning, the new panel was designed for greater efficiency and stability. We continuously optimize it to provide you with the best possible working conditions. Thanks to the new engine, we have improved tracking, increased system speed, and eliminated any initial limitations. All of this ensures that using the platform is now even more seamless and reliable.

As mentioned earlier, the tracking mechanism itself has not changed. It still operates the same way and records all events according to previous rules. However, some postback parameters in the new panel have changed, for example, the “Total basket value” for a potential customer generated through a tracking link. So if you use postback integration, it’s worth checking the current settings in the documentation or contacting support to ensure everything is working correctly. 

The most important takeaway? Any errors that did arise were quickly resolved, and no publisher lost their commissions. In the long run, the new engine has made the panel more efficient, faster, and more stable, ultimately improving the user experience.

What about programs still in the migration process? For offers that have not yet been transferred, leads continue to be correctly tracked in the older panel version. This ensures that your existing traffic remains unaffected. Until the migration is fully complete, you can continue using the previous platform while still earning commissions. However, keep in mind that the old version will be discontinued in the future.

And if there are any problems....

Yes, we know we’ve said this multiple times already, but if you have a problem, just reach out. We’re not here to leave you alone with the migration and hope for the best. We care about our users and want to ensure you can work and earn without disruptions.

Summary: Is it worth it?

Migrations are never completely painless and we understand that. The need to update links or deal with minor bugs in the first few weeks may have been frustrating, but the final result? The new panel is faster, more stable, and offers more possibilities. Conversion rates have not only remained strong but, in some cases, have even increased.

So, is it worth it? Everything suggests that it is, but ultimately, the decision is yours. From our side, we assure you that the entire process was carefully planned to make the transition as smooth as possible. If you haven’t set up your account in the new panel yet, now is the perfect time to explore its features and see how it can improve your results.
