PHP ad administrator vs. affiliate progs

[Anon]

Hi there,

I'm using something called LedAds for my banners and have now started to advertise for TradeDoubler - or their customers.

The problem is, as I see it, that they cannot track the clicks from my banner programme even though I can see that the banners have been clicked.

So is TradeDoubler just fooling me or is this a generally known problem and what can I do to make them track my clicks?

Thanks,

Theoretically it's possible that they can see your clicks, but they can't work out that the clicks belong to you.

One can only trace where the click came from by the "Referer" line in the HTTP request header.
If that line does not say "www.overseattere.dk" then they have no way of knowing it's you.

Again, this is theory. 99 out of 100 browsers will send the Referer header.
