Giga Theives?
 

I just clicked someones button in their sig with a referal code for Gigacash in it...

Got to the splash page clicked enter but didnt have any webmaster referal code to give the webmaster who's button i clicked credit.

Are you guys stealing webmaster traffic or what?

http://gigacash.com/index.php?gcsid=...1&gcsa=default

Was the link i clicked

Or maybe they stored his id in a cookie, asswipe.

http://gigacash.com/index.php?gcasid=178911&gcsid=32&gcsa=default&gcru =...


the gcsid 178911 is still in the URL you dumbotron.

You don't know what "default" means?

:1orglaugh Woohoo someone's whoring for me :1orglaugh :thumbsup

and what cookie would that be?

my internet settings dont allow cookies on my machine although to test that theory i just tried on the g/fs computer and found no trace of a cookie

you're an idiot... gigacash is one of the few actual trustworthy ppl in this biz.... and i've been in this biz since 1996, CE's 1st asst. webmaster....

well if you want to get into specifics...

http://gigacash.com/index.php?gcasid...p&gcaid=248749

is the url that shows once you hit their splash page.

then click the 'enter' link from their splash page ;)

looks like they are filtering off referal traffic from GFY and sending it to a non tracking version of their main site :321GFY

are you blind? the "gcsid" is still preserved when hitting the site. what's the problem?

Nothing wrong with my stats Spacepuppy. referrals are fine

oh and here is the url to their join page

http://engine.gigacash.com/cgi-bin/a...ccount.cgi?add

wheres the affiliate code?

Error executing query: insert Accounts (AccountID,Name,CompanyName,PayableTo,Address,City ,State,Zip,Country,TaxID,Phone,Password, StatusID,MinBill, ReferringAccountID, PrimaryURL,SecondarySiteURL,RecyclerURL,EmailAddre ss,UserDefined1,UserDefined2, DateAdded,LastLogin, UserDefined3)

Tried to signup to test this theory... got this pretty error.

Do you know what that is?

:1orglaugh

Its all good dude. Sign up!

:thumbsup

So you have my new referred acct showing in your stats now right?

Yep! cheers bud :thumbsup

'tis magic!

Do you know ANYTHING about programming, it is easy to set your ip/proxy you're behind in a database for people that don't accept cookies, and track that way :) Which they may be doing!

Oh well FUCK ME! how the hell am I going to sleep at night knowing I haven't got you whoring for me. ahhh well, I suppose I'll just have to rely on the other 16 refs I got today. Now repeat after me "I am your bitch and I just lurrrrve whoring for you baby" :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :321GFY

GigaSpace Puppy,maybe we should chat.

Hit me via ICQ:thumbsup

dont waste your time

Brad Wishing, we're having some hanging issues with our new account form which could explain that error msg you got, techs are working to get this resolved right away.:)

I have to agree with Space Puppy on this. Has anyone ever got a referred signup?

Here is what i see. You go to that url (
http://gigacash.com/index.php?gcasid...p&gcaid=248749 ) and sure it does have the affiliate code.

Now this is where it gets interesting because unless someone came up with a new way of tracking someone there are only 2 real ways to do it. You track them via variables in a url or you set a cookie on the surfers computer.

The url to enter the site is http://gigacash.com/home.htm which clearly shows that there are no varibales located in the url, however, i do not have any cookies set on my browser (which allows for cookies to be set). This url is on the page which comes up after clicking the affiliate ref. link

So my question is pretty simple. If you dont store any variable which could identify the surfer in the URL and you dont set any cookies then how exactly do you track the person once they click the enter link?

Indeed... the referal code is present on the SPLASH page but no where else afterwards even the signup form has no way of tracking the new webmaster.

Lets test it, signup and send me the affil/ref link so i can signup :)

well i would but their signup form is fucked up :321GFY

Hmm maybe they fucked their sig up!!! :(

Impossible, its actually has to do with data not being passed/stored on their website :(

did you get a sign up?

It's amazing the number of people who run websites and don't understand basic concepts. There are a million ways to track a user without a cookie. Off the top of my head, they could be using a session (sort of like a server-side cookie - very common practice), IP tracking, etc.

Maybe something is wrong, but if all of you people think cookies are the only way to track visitors, you're morons.

Well apparently i stand corrected.

MPA2 uses both cookies and IP to track referrals and as we all know GIGACASH uses MPA2 i guess im in the wrong right now.

Sorry guys.

Now, when you gonna get your signup form fixed so i can send you some traffic by way of an apology :Graucho

Stallion...
