Hosted TGP's Issue

Torn Rose · 2003-12-08, 02:49 PM

I’ve been working on my hosted galleries for over a week and have an issue with the CCBill affiliate links.

I have seen 2 other sites use CCBill and have these as their affiliate codes to the galleries

http://www.kristytyler.com/promo/gal...account=XXXXXX

http://smartcherries.com/hosted/hat/...ouraccountcode

But in my test of using those parts of the code (after the index.php) they didn’t work for me, so I asked CCBill what it should be and they said that this is what I need to use

http://refer.ccbill.com/cgi-bin/clic...ie/1/index.php

When I asked why it’s twice as long as the first 2 and what is different about mine CCBill replied

“They are probably using their own management along with ours. If you were to click on their referral link the site posts the referrer ID into the join page, however if you were to click on your link it does not track the affiliate on the join page. Therefore you have to use our link so the affiliate ID is passed into the signup page so they can get credit for the sale.”

I’ve tried to get in contact with one of the sites for over a week since I know her well, but she’s been “gone” for a while.
I just want to know what I can do to not have a url that is as long as a book. Or am I just wasting my time?

Torn

I have seen lots of people use your first option with complete success

and while I understand that the full CCBill Url will work... I still think your php one will too.

Will investigate and get back to you

Thanks DD

I finally got to speak to who I know has done it and well, it must be a trade secret, so I'm on my own.

I'm trying to test it once more, this affialte code is my own

trying to see if I get hits on it or not

Hey DD, after alot of BS and a 6 hour fight today with a virus, we got it to work!

Thanks for your time!

Once I get my pc cleaned up again (had to go to Dec 1 on system restore) I hope to get the galliers up by Friday the latest.

Once more thanks!

Cool Torn,

I didn't/couldn't find definitive proof, but I used to use the first method when I was with CCBill..
