link banner

[mac]

I have created a "LINK to US" banner that other webmasters can place it on their site.

How do i know (track) which sites are referring customes to me?

Pgae 60 of the advanced user guide talks about this, but, unfortunately, I am even more LOST.
HELP!!!

I have looked at :

http://community.actinic.com/showth...referrer+script

I am sorry, I dont seem to get this to work.
What do I do with this?
I have read the manual. It just gives info as to what link is, but it doesnt say what to do with it.

I have changed the userdefined3 to referer in design text. Also, on the referrer.pl i have filled in the info.
what do i do with it?


for the person that will put my banner on his site, what html code do i need to give him? Example please...

Step by Step instructions pleaseeeeeee....

Hi there

The referrer perlscript will be a link, which contains a text which you have come from.

You would simply use this link in an image source of your banner.

An example would be:

<a href="your referrer script link"><img src="yourimage.jpg" border="0"></a>

1. So firstly you need to create an banner.
2. You need to create the referrer link. Like you said the information is in the advance user guide.
3. Once you have done this, then you simply need to pass people a bit of coding like the example i have shown you to place on their website.

If you want to know what your cgi-bin is? or acatalog url is? These information can be found via "Advance | Network Setup"

I'm afraid i cannot give you a step by step example, or a case study.

Also when you use the referrer script you will only see the information when you someone click on the banner, then proceeds to order something from you website. You download their order and when you double click on the order, go to the MISC tab and you will see what website they have come from


Kind Regards
