About no referrer traffic..

[Backov]

What's the standard deal with no referrer traffic coming from your trades? I kinda feel bad about it, one of my trades sends a large portion (like 20%) of no referrer traffic (usually from AOL browsers, or NS 3.01 surfers), and that traffic isn't getting credited to him.. What's the industry standard in this case? Lump it?

Also, do you think that allowing traffic to come in with no referrer? (ie, linking to index.php?tradeid=blah instead of just index.php) would be abusable? I mean it's what CJPro does, but I notice that a lot of the bigger scripts generally only send to an index file without a specific arg for each trade...

Just a noob CJ guy here, help me out. ;>

Cheers,

I would be watching that no ref traffic and analize it from server logs to make shure its not hitbots and and such. But as for the index.php?tradeid=blah it should have no effect on your trade its just used to track where the users click or to make perm links to better trades.

If you dont trust the trade talk to the webmaster about it or drop it. http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/wink.gif

He said index.php not out.php!! So yes Backov, index.php?tradeid=blah could solve the problem with no ref. But I think it would be easy to abuse it. People would be able to send you traffic from 10 different sites if they wanted to.
