How simple is that?

That will work only if: 1. they display the url for the person who signs up. 2. if there is a place in there url I can interject my own text without screwing up the url code so it will work, and 3. that the url stays in tact with my extra text (ips) added to it till the signup page or which ever page that sponsors uses to count as the referring url for the signup.
I am not a programmer but i looks to me that could have some problems.
To answer your question TheDoc, the ip address is 1 constant that wont change. I set up tracking software on my end i can log the ip when the person hits my site, through my tracking software i can identify where he came from, i can take it a step further and track the individual urls/banners, etc.. on my site to see which one he signs up through. Now i have all this data for ip:68.34.203.21 that he came from my google adwords, for the words " xxx porn " and he clicked the second link on my page. But this doesn't mean shit to me if I don't get the ip of the people who actually signed up to something.
Honestly I don't care who clicks which banner more, etc on my site I want to know which one they are signing up from. But with out knowing the ip of the person who signups then i will have nothing to go back and match it against the ip from my software to see where he came from (traffic source), what he did (banners he clicked), etc..
Hope that helps.
