TGP owners: quick survey.

04-02-2005, 04:41 AM

When trading with another TGP.

When a user clicks on a link to a TGP (whether it is a hard-link, or it is skimmed) and then they click the back button to return to your site; would you want the 'back button click' counted as a credited click for the referer? or would you want the option of counting it as a raw click, or a unique click?

Well, if you send one visitor to the site of your trade partner it can't return to your site! BEcause trade scripts are doing that...they don't allow to that surfer to come back to your site, he can be forwarded only to other trade site, which is partner of your trade partner ;)
I hope you got it
but, if he click back button, he'll be threated at raw, and he can be probably forwarded to other trade from your trades partners list...

By logic, it would be a "raw" click. But you should use a new blank window to open the other site !

Exactly, you definately should open the link in a new window, that's the best way to do it.

So, on TGP sites you open all links in target=_new windows?

or only activated skims?

the reason im asking is because i'm writing an open source tgp script

ALL links should open in a new window going out from your TGP/MGP. Trades, hard links, sponsors, galleries, etc. etc.

I prefer opening all links in a new window.Why would you want to credit the trade twice for the one unique?

The surfer who goes to trade #1 will not come back through #1 because I will not be an option for the surfer. ie, $skim_to_trade = $trades but not $me.

If they go to site #2 from trade #1 and site #2 just happens to be my trade #2, then no, only site #1 gets credit.

Strange question. I got the bit about you writing a script, but a script which didn't treat a non-unique visitor as a non-unique visitor would produce some very odd stats.

You can't make assumptions about how the TGP will be operated. Although most do open trades in new windows, some of the most surfer-friendly ones do not. You have to allow the webmaster to operate either way.

A more interesting problem might be to consider that since small "rings" of webmaster trading together are fairly common these days, do you track only IP's (which means that if trade partner #3 sends me someone who already visited from trade partner #2, the second visit is counted as a raw from #2 and scores him some extra productivity) or do you link source and IP, so this visitor is tracked as unique on both visits. I can see pros and cons whichever route you go...

Thats why it would have an option, and operate differently based upon how they configure it via the beautifully designed web based interface.

Not only does it do traffic trading, it also alternates between text/thumbs in the same script.. banner management, etc, etc...

The reason i'm asking isnt because i'm wholly incompetent; its because i've never run a gigantic TGP before and i was looking for input from those who have I suppose. I prefer to give people options over forcing one way or the other.

I appreciate your feedback.

So basically you are writing a TGP/MGP script with a built in trafic trading script?
