Re: Referal Logs not showing banner links?

by RachelVirago on 2005/2/28 16:16:12

Your client/affiliate should have given you a unique ID

You put this in click URL box in your banner control panel

It's everything after ?

EG. http://www.123-reg.co.uk/affiliate.cgi?id=########

(real example ID hashed out)

or similar. Check their site for details it might not be a cgi script they use some uses javascript or something it varies.

It's a URL variable. No url variable and their server simply does not log it it as "one from an affiliate"

Hard to say more without seeing the code you have in banner manager and if they don't use this system you are going to have to ask them.

No I am not using the HTML option just a logo graphic which is on my server.
Is this a problem for the logs, I don't see why.

I assume you are using the "use html" option.

Is your unique ID included in that code?

Can you post the code here?

I have a couple of clients running from standard system with no problems RE: showing up in the clients logs but it took me a little while to get it right.

One has to come from root of my site to register and my ex partner wrote a cute php page that handles that.

My problem is that where the use html option is selected the ammount of clicks is not recorded in the XOOPS management system only impressions??

Would appreciate any help with this because it's a drag having to keep logging in to the affiliate control panel to see how the banners are doing.

Referal Logs not showing banner links?

by zcreem on 2005/2/5 14:18:02

I have a couple of sites, more on the way hence the question, that link through the standard XOOPS banner ads.

My problem is the referals are not appearing in the clients logs, normal links are fine, just the banners.

Any ideas, or anyone else having this, I never had access to my clients logs until recently and was shocked to see that although they had recieved over 300 clicks not once did I appear in their logs, ouch!
