NATS question

[SmokeyTheBear]

I could prob ask this in private but im sure a few people also have the same question. and there might be someone here who knows so i dont have to bug you

Does NATS offer the ability to let program owners track its "webmaster" link to the referring webmaster and most programs disable it , or is not an option with nats ?

example . when i sent a hit to an fhg it has a webmaster link on the bottom but no ref code attached. i realise not every sponsor offers this, but is it even available for NATS

sure I see that option with several nats sponsors by using campaigns.

Yeah, it's possible.... the program just has to put an "strack" code into that space, which will separate the nats code into site, program, affiliate... that way they can shuffle off the person while keeping the affliliate ref intact, but change their site to the sponsor and the program to the referal program.

Thus, the affiliate gets the credit.

thanks for the info guys.. now i know not to blame nats , i can blame the sponsor.. heh

p.s. sponsors please add tracking codes to your webmaster links , it is now one more criteria i will use to judge your programs worthyness
