Will Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 I see a lot of people who own games giving out there links like this: /register.php?REF=1. Why would they need referrals to their own game. To claim the reward? You should just give the URL. It's just odd. Quote

UCC Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Re: Game owners sending out referal link. My guess is they want to track what form of spam is bringing in their users. :mrgreen: Quote

UCC Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Re: Game owners sending out referal link. No speaking from assumptions. There are similar reasons to do this that don't include spam. But I dont use this system, I have programmed a detailed advertising tracking system that tracks the origin of 90% of my players and then reports on the income received per banner campaign. It does not use referal_ids as banner ads are not players. Quote
hamster01 Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Re: Game owners sending out referal link. Well, when I advertised, I used a GD generated banner, that as UCC says, 'tracks' the amount of people coming in. Lmao... well, some people aren't the sharpest tool in the shed... I know, some aren't even there at times. Quote
EvoX Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Re: Game owners sending out referal link. Possibly so they can feel special by it saying "Referalls: xxxxx" in their user profile? lol.. Quote
dementor Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Re: Game owners sending out referal link. i do that but only because i need the crystals i wanna win be best in the game lol Quote
Will Posted September 14, 2007 Author Posted September 14, 2007 Re: Game owners sending out referal link. lol. Thats exactly what I mean. If you are the owner you don't neeed to work for crystals. Possibly so they can feel special by it saying "Referalls: xxxxx" in their user profile? lol.. You could just change the database. Quote
dementor Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Re: Game owners sending out referal link. but that would be cheating i dont let my players do it so y should i do it Quote
Will Posted September 14, 2007 Author Posted September 14, 2007 Re: Game owners sending out referal link. Me as a user would be put off if you gave referal links to advertise your game, I always remove them. Quote
dementor Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Re: Game owners sending out referal link. another reason y i do it is cause is easier to copy and paste than type the whole thing 8-) Quote
EvoX Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Re: Game owners sending out referal link. It's not easier, considering you can copy and paste your website URL as easy as you can copy and paste your referall link. lol Quote
dementor Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Re: Game owners sending out referal link. after i logout my game then copy and paste the link (then having to log back in) vrs click city central copy and paste referall link Quote
hamster01 Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Re: Game owners sending out referal link. Or create a script to show it. <? echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; ?> Quote
