How to code CCBill hosted galleries? - GoFuckYourself.com

Anna_O · 05-10-2005, 04:04 PM

Is there a tutorial on how to code a hosted gallery so that not every hit counts as a hit to the paysite? Like www.hubbahubba.com/hosted001/666666 Where 666666 is the CCBill aff ID...
Please advice

No, it would count as a click anyway...

It screws upp the ratio.

Or in reality it shows the true ratio once the surfer is out of the affiliates hands and in the site owners.

Very true. But as an affiliate and TGP owner I think it sucks when comparing stats and adding galleries....

ok i see what you mean... i use NATS so i'm prolly not the best person to help you with this... you will need to ask someone who does not use cascading billing

Stats do not matter as much as people presume, they are just indicators. Only real stat one needs to know is the value per unique.

As for screwed up ratios because you track your hosted galleries and most do not. Would you rather see 1:2000 when tracking started at the gallery or 1:750 when it started at the site instead? Given a good chance that maybe that 1:750 site had 10000 gallery visits.

True, but if you really want to check up on this, all TGP scrips counts the clicks on a gallery. So it's easy to calculate hits to gallery-> hits to paysite-> signups. You can get more information this way.

I personally do not rely much on affiliates. As for the stats I pay more attention to them at the server level.

been lots of threads about this so search around a bit.. someone always posts the codes needed.. if you're not that into coding, hire a guy to do it for you.. should only be a minor job but depends on how advanced script you want..

Have tried searching... But search is down and couldn't find anything in Google. Know a very limeted amount of coding ;)

I think I know what you're talking about... here's how I used to do it.

I'd name the gallery page to index.php and put it in a seperate folder, then in the link... I'd add this piece of code:

<?echo $_REQUEST["ref"];?>

So, if I wanted to send a click from the gallery to the url of http://www.bangingwhitey.com/tour1/ the actual linking url would look like this:

http://www.bangingwhitey.com/tour1/?<?echo $_REQUEST["ref"];?>

Now, tell your affiliates to send to a gallery url like this:
http://www.YOURGALLERYURL.com/foldername/?ref=CCBILL

I "think" that's the correct way. I'll check it in a little bit to make sure (unless someone else can spot an error).

Hope it helps...

Looks correct, we used to do that a few years ago. Actually ccbill used to have the documentation up explaining it come to think of it.
But I also recall that we had to add such to each link and so on, damn I forget.
