Linking out.php from other domains - GoFuckYourself.com

Quick question - I'm running turbo traffic trader and I was wondering if I could have a site on another one of my domains and put a link to the out.php on one of my CJ's. Would the referer header right for the trade to count the hit? Thanks.

Might want to ask that on the Turbo Traffic Trader board.

Unfortunately, your idea won't work. 99% of the time the Referer: line will show the page the click came from, not the page it went through. Trading scripts which work out the source of the trade based purely on the domain will discard it, and scripts which use an ID in the URL may compare domains and mark it as a potential cheater.

One trick, if you don't mind MS only, is to use an iframe served from the same domain as out.php. Then the Referer: line will correctly show the iframe URL.

BTW: this is not a specific TTT issue, it goes for any trade script...
