New Referral System

Post by Brad »

The new referral system is now in place for testing. Though the store is not open yet ( to spend referral points ), we are hopefully accurately RECORDING the subscription information.

Basically, after signing up to the referral system, you will get a link to attach to ads, banners, anything. If the user clicks on this link and has NEVER visited the kod site before; and later subscribes, you will get some form of referral points.

To test it, and have a link of your very own, click the ACCOUNT button and then click on the : Want to help test the new referral system? Click Here


The neat thing is you can track your results! You can actually see how many unique hits you have generated, signups, and subscriptions.

I put it on my site real quick, had an existing drak member click it, and then this:

DrakkarZone Referral Report For User drdiatom (** TEST VERSION **)


Unique Visits: 6
Download Attempts: 1
Signups: 2
Signups with at least one login: 2
Online Now: 1 ( )
Been Online Today :1 ( )
Subscribed : 1


Would we get points for every unique visits and download attemps and signups etc?
Because if we do, we could ask every pre-existing member in drakkar to just click the link. It would seem hard to keep track of who visited the site and signed for the first time and who already signed up. Are the counters supposed to show pre-existing members?

Question:

Will referral points be able to be transferred to another account or will they have to stay with the account that signed up for the link ?

GUys, the values arent right yet, for some reason they give you credit for EXISTING customers that visit the web site through the link.

Hahahaha

I'm working on it.

Works good brad, Existing customers now no longer show up new signups. I also changed the destination for one of my links so it goes to forums. Is that going to cause any problems?

ie. http://www.drakkarzone.com/goto.php?SID ... om/forums/

:)

That wont work, has to go to the main page first (there is a script there )

Actually brad, that redirection does work, I'm just changing the destination field to the forums. It bumps up the visits when i tested it.

Hmmm okay, but i'm not sure you will get credit for the download and signup if it doesnt go to the main page first.

What do you mean by subscribing rather than just signing-up?
